Reykjavik — which doubles as the home port for Iceland ProCruises — offers an amazing array of places (and foods) to eat during your sojourn in the Icelandic capital. These are some of our favorite places to dine . . .

Braud & Co

Braud & Co makes every list of Iceland’s best artisanal bakeries. If you’re feeling jetlagged, make your way to the original graffiti-covered bakery at Frakkastígur 16 (just off Laugavegur) for the most amazing organic sourdough bread, sesame pretzels or even a pain au chocolat. It’s always a hive of activity inside, as owner Ágúst Einþórsson has designed it specially so that customers and bakers are in close proximity so you can witness the baking process and ask questions. Braud & Co also has outlets at five other locations around the Reykjavik metro area. http://www.braudogco.is

Hlemmur Food Hall (Hlemmur Mathöll)

Inspired by the great food halls of Europe, this new age culinary hub features eight delicious vendors and a variety of eats from around the world. There’s Bánh Mí for Vietnamese sandwiches. An experimental bar and restaurant called SKÁL! focuses on foraged Icelandic ingredients and local traditions. Kröst specializes in fine French wines, cured meats, and various grilled delicacies. As the name suggests, Te & Kaffi is gourmet tea and coffee bar, while Gaeta Gelato serves fresh Italian ice cream. Laugavegur 107, 105 Reykjavík. www.hlemmurmatholl.is/english/

Friðheimar

About an hour’s drive from downtown Reykjavik (and well worth the trip) is Friðheimar. Tomatoes rule at this rustic restaurant near Iceland’s famous geyser fields, so much so that you actually dine in the greenhouse surrounded by four different varieties of tomato vines. On any given day the menu might include tomato soup, ravioli with homemade pasta sauce, or grilled tortillas with tomato, basil and mozzarella. Among the desserts are green-tomato and apple pie, cheesecake with green-tomato, cinnamon and lime jam, and of course tomato ice cream. Washed it all down with tomato schnapps served in a hollowed-out tomato, or a “Healthy Mary” cocktail fashioned from green tomato, lime, honey and ginger, served chilled with sparkling water. Open daily from 12 pm to 4pm. Reykholti, Bláskógabyggð, IS-806, Selfoss. https://www.fridheimar.is/en
