Þrír Frakkar Annex is a spin-off lunch spot from the celebrated Þrír Frakkar family restaurant, focusing specifically on the seafood side of their traditional Icelandic menu in a casual counter-service format on Baldursgata. Generous plates of plokkfiskur, fish soup, and pan-fried catch of the day are served at very reasonable prices, making it a favorite for a quick, traditional lunch rather than a full dinner experience. The setting is simple and functional, without the warmth of decor found at the main Þrír Frakkar restaurant, reflecting its role as a fast, affordable complement rather than a replacement for the original. Limited midday hours mean it is best visited specifically for lunch. There is no reservation system, and it operates on a walk-in, counter-service basis.
