IÐA Zimsen
Vesturgata 2a If you are the type to enjoy a warm cuppa with your new book, then IÐA Zimsen is definitely the place to go. So comb that moustache, put on your empty frames, wrap that scarf inventively around you, and head on over before it becomes too mainstream.

This high-end men’s fashion boutique caters to those whose bodies only tolerate the finest fabrics and most delicate of tailoring. Head designer Guðmundur Jörundsson, who honed his craft in the exclusive haberdasher Kormaks & Skjaldar, gives impeccable attention to each item, leaving the wearer feeling like a million bucks.
Unlike other design shops in town, this one goes beyond the local borders to bring some of the most innovative and stylish creations from designers around the world. They are also the official sales point of Lomography in Iceland, so get yourself a Diana camera and start snapping.

Located next to the famous Bar 11, this warm and cosy place is the complete opposite of the exhausting and alcohol-fuelled place next door. It is the place to go to get an evening started and enjoy a glass of wine (or even two) with your friends before deciding to move onto another party, or a place to enjoy some smooth jazz. During weekends it serves as a brunch place, whereas on weekdays they have a great lunch menu. With homemade cakes, soups, salads and several other dishes, it provides a very nice alternative to other places downtown, especially for people with disabilities, since it features a ramp for wheel chairs. Oh, and they have a glass roof, too.
