The budget option. This hot dog stand has become as Icelandic as dried fish or boiled sheep heads. You can not come to Iceland without trying "one with everything". Don't get discouraged by the queue.

This icelandic coffee and coffeehouse chain is a good spot for your morning coffee at the main shopping street.
I recommend this place for those who need to kill time in a nice but happening environment before they check in, especially before or after their first visit to swimming pool.

Le KocK
14 TryggvagataGrungy restaurant with awesome wings and potato specials.
Budget option. Don´t tell anyone about this place. I would like to keep it as it is and if there are too many tourists, the prices may rise and quality go down. A great middle-eastern (Syrian) restaurant with hummus to die for.

Awesome experience, especially if you have limited time in Iceland. This is an interactive 5D virtual flight over Iceland. Sounds kitsch-y but is actually veeery cool. Great for families and bad weather days.

This is "The Wine Store" or Vínbúðin in Icelandic, the government run supplier of alcohol in Iceland. Alcohol is not sold in shops so don´t buy your "beer" in a grocery store since it will only contain 2,5% alcohol or less.
A good tip is to buy your alcohol in the duty free store upon your arrival to the country. It could save you a lot of money. Otherwise, head to Vínbúðin, they´ve got a high level of service and variety.

Shopping
This is one of the last remaining corner shops and you can find almost anything there. I recommend it over using the mini-markets downtown.
