This is just a wow place! The way they compose each plate is pure creativity, and you can see that right away with the names on the menu. Have some green eggs and ham, or eggs florentine alla Coocoo’s. They are delicious! You also have vegan options and of course, the special drinks. Like always, I would go for one mimosa. Or perhaps three of them!

One of the things I really like about The Coocoo’s Nest is that it is a family business. I’m not saying this is better or worse than others, but it is just the essence of a family portrayed in a place such as this one. You can feel the warmth of the people, and it’s just like home. And what about space? I really enjoy spaces with a purpose, and they definitely know how to play with this. The use of different types of wood in color and texture, the plants and flowers, the framed pictures and customer’s phrases, and the picnic-like patio are just amazing touches that make this a unique place. Definitely, a place to go when in Reyjkavík.
