Austurvöllur, Reykjavik
Reykjavik's Heritage Square Café-Bar
Café Paris is a heritage café-bar on the Austurvöllur main square. The room is preserved early 1900s — wooden floors, dim warm lighting, brass fittings — and the format shifts through the day from coffee shop to wine bar to cocktail bar.
The drinks are simple but well-made. The terrace in summer faces directly onto the Icelandic Parliament building. The food is light café plates.
The crowd is mixed Reykjavik locals and tourists drawn by the location. Pair with the wider Reykjavik café-bar scene for a complete evening.
