Ölverk

The South


This minimalist pizzeria and microbrewery is a fine combination of bar and restaurant. Pizza toppings are creative (ever had banana on a pie?) and the house beer sets a high standard. Groups of 10 or more can book a brewery tour, which explains the brewing process and history of beer in Iceland; it takes 30 to 40 minutes and costs 2700kr per person.
