Local burger chain serving quality burgers with Icelandic twist. Fresh ingredients, good portions, and reasonable prices. Popular late-night spot with locals. Multiple locations around Reykjavik.
Hamborgarabúllan, often shortened to "Bullan," is a local Reykjavík burger chain with a location on Geirsgata near the harbor, known for straightforward, quality burgers made with Icelandic beef and a distinctive local twist on toppings and sauces. The menu keeps things simple, with burgers, a fish burger option, and a lamb burger variant rather than an extensive list of specialty combinations, emphasizing fresh ingredients and generous portions. The setting is casual and unpretentious, geared toward a quick, satisfying meal rather than a sit-down dining experience, and the chain is especially popular late at night given its extended weekend hours. Prices sit in the mid-range for Reykjavík fast-casual dining. There is no reservation system, as the restaurant operates on a walk-in, order-at-counter basis.
