We shop in the airport departure lounge for a variety of reasons. It might be to kill time before our flight departs or use up leftover foreign currency (though admittedly that’s less important now we use card payments for so many things). It’s a great opportunity to pick up any last minute gifts, especially if you have spent a lot of time out in the countryside where stores are few and far between.

If you’re staying in Reykjavik, then there’s a good chance you might be looking for ideas for days out.

No matter what your preference, whether you’re content with a pastry to accompany your coffee or are looking for a more substantial meal, one of our myriad eateries will be just right for your needs. Let’s take a brief look at the choices.

With convenient departure and arrival times, easily arranged car hire and straightforward onward journeys to Reykjavik and beyond, it’s a tempting proposition for visitors.
