Noodles to rock your socks off

Núðluskálin - Skólavörðustígur Eggert Jóhannesson

In recent years, noodle shops have sprung up all over the city centre. Here's our pick of the most scrumptious in the city centre.

1. Núðluskálin

This modern, tiny noodle restaurant on central Skólavörðustígur serves an excellent variety of noodles which they call "asion fusion." Offering delicately aromatic concoctions with lots of fresh herbs and sometimes a coconut base. Good options for vegans and vegetarians.

2. Ruan Thai / Núðluhúsið

Cheap (for Iceland) and cheerful and very tasty authentic Thai food. Situated on top of the Bónus supermarket on Laugavegur it offers a variety of Thai dishes including a big selection of noodles.

4. Noodle Station

A firm favourite among locals, Noodle Station has now opened a second branch on Laugavegur in addition to the original one on Skólavörðustígur. The noodles are simple, made from one spicy broth and you can then pick if you want vegetables or meat. Lots of beansprouts and an optional dash of sugar.
