Vitabar — Restaurant in Reykjavik

Was drinking in another bar and the bar manager recommended we try this place if we wanted a no fuss, reasonably priced burger. We visited the next night, the place is easy to find, close to the Hallgrímskirkja church. The menu is limited but if it's just a burger you want you won't be disappointed, there was also steak on the menu. It's a small bar but the turnaround was quick throughout the evening and we only had to wait 10 minutes to get a seat. The burger and steak we ordered were great, the beer was good, the guy serving behind the bar didn't come across as being the most friendly of people but that didn't detract from the evening. I would go back again next time I'm...

Ok you've heard food is expensive in Iceland, and it is, but this place is a relative bargain. Around $10 USD for a basic burger or add about $4 more and get a bacon cheeseburger or a bleu cheeseburger. Fries are ok but need salt. (There's paprika on the table too so try that & salt together.) The large order is enough for 2 people to share. There aren't many tables so if it's crowded just order takeaway. The burgers are tender and loaded with onions, tomatoes and burger sauce (tastes like mayo and ketchup mixed with some additional unknown spices) but are nevertheless a bit dry. But it really is a good burger for one of the cheapest prices you'll pay anywhere...

Nice, divey vibe ... OK food. Expectations were high going in so this review might be a bit hard. I had the signature blue cheese burger and added mushrooms. The cheese was overpowering and somewhat sour - the "Hunt's" ketchup was also very sour. The beef itself was fine as were the onion rings (typical diner/cafe fare). The fries were very hit or miss as I think they must have combined some fresh ones with some older, colder ones ... the fresh/hit ones were tasty. The highlights were the dive bar vibe ... Johnny Cash even came up! Too bad as I was really looking forward to...
