"This French-style bistro is a perennial favorite for locals, who come here for breakfast, brunch, dinner, or just drinks. The menu has a Scandinavian focus with some international offerings—hence regular dishes like catch of the day and a hearty fish soup can be found alongside high-quality steaks, club sandwiches, and moules marinières . Lunch specials keep the place busy during the week, andthe weekend brunches are a big draw too. The bar's offerings are equally balanced, with a range of beers, wines, and cocktails as well as fresh smoothies. Pleasant service, a classic, upmarket interior, and a generally convivial atmosphere conspire to make this bistro a great all-rounder."

Enjoyed a Christmas prix fixe meal here with family. The vibe was excellent and the food, impeccable. We had sweet potato soup, carpaccio, beef wellington and chocolate cake— all made to perfection. The venue was festive though the waiter seemed unhappy to be there. The perfect pornstar martini more than made up for it.

I ordered the cod and absolutely recommend it! We also had a non-alcoholic passionfruit cocktail and an amazing alcohol-free sparkling Cava truly top-notch 👌 , one of the best we’ve had! Adam was so nice and brought such great energy to our experience. Would definitely come again! 💃🏻

Our hosted recommended this neighborhood cafe, we ordered the Fish of the Day and Snaps Bistro Salad, the food tastes excellent of its freshness. The flavors are well-balanced. We highly enjoyed it!

We went for New Year's, and when we arrived, we found out that there was a special menu that was not advertised on the website or informed to us when we had booked the table months prior. Due to my lacto intolerance and nut allergy, I could only eat one dessert from the small menu. We had booked that restaurant, having looked at the menu in advance and knowing I could eat plenty of dishes. They ended up having to offer me a salad for my starter since I couldn't eat the other option, and fry a bit of cod for my main. For the price I paid, since they still charged me the New Year's menu price, it was a very simple meal, unfortunately.

Snaps Bistro is simply exceptional! We had the Beef Bourguignon, and it was absolutely divine—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The lobster soup was equally phenomenal, rich, and comforting. To top it off, their cocktails were nothing short of legendary. The atmosphere was cozy and vibrant, making it a truly unforgettable experience. If you're in Reykjavik, this place is a must-visit!

This was the classic bait and switch. I made the reservation based on the advertised vegan menu: NUT ROAST (lentils, brown rice, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, nuts), potato salad, sesame broccolini & gravy (v). Once we were seated in the basement—think mirrored tiles and newsprint wallpaper with no street view—we were told that instead the main course would be only ratatouille and that the price would still be $80 US per plate. The ratatouille was unseasoned and was more or less a stew of tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini with a crown of rice on top. None of us had more than 4 or 5 bites. We had a rotating cast of servers whose only concern was to take plates away and bring the next plate out. We were never asked if we needed anything or how our meal was. This will go down as one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. If it hadn't been Christmas Eve, we would have gone somewhere else. Instead, all three of us feel that our Christmas Eve and $240 were stolen from us. Incidentally, our Christmas Day dinner at Kopar could not have been more amazing.

It was a late lunch, but the tomato soup was rich and delicious, as were the onion soup and mussels.

Our entire experience at Snaps was amazing, we went for tea on our first night in Reykjavik the food was outstanding, one of the best meals I have ever had. We were staying at Hotel Odinsve next door to Snaps and had breakfast here which was also incredible, had everything you could possibly want for breakfast and more. We will definitely return when we come back to Reykjavik.
