About IKEA

Runner up 2026 in “Best Family Restaurant”. Yes, that IKEA. It does in fact feature Icelandic food. The irony of the cheapest restaurant in Iceland being in the most expensive neighbourhood is not lost on us. Perhaps this is how people hold on to their money. IKEA is not about a cosy family restaurant outing. This is a practical, everyone-will-be-full-while-not-driving-us-to-bankruptcy experience.

From The Reykjavík Grapevine
  • Budget dining
  • Practical meal
  • Lunch

All of this, live, in your pocket.

Most of this lives in the app too, on a map that knows where you're standing. It counts down to the next happy hour, knows which cheap-eats deal is on right now, checks tonight's aurora and the weather, and shows opening hours before you've walked there. A local friend in your pocket, from arrival to adventure. Free, no account needed, no nagging.
