Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar

Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar is a burger counter at Geirsgata 1 on Reykjavik's Old Harbour, Iceland. It is classed as casual, with burgers typically costing around ISK 2,400-3,600, and offers a short menu focused on burgers and fries. The harbour-side location puts it close to the boats, the Harpa concert hall and the departure points for whale-watching tours, making it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the waterfront.

The menu is deliberately compact. The cheeseburger is the signature item, and fries are served alongside. A short menu keeps service quick and consistent, and the focus is on straightforward, well-made burgers rather than elaborate toppings. Prices are moderate by Reykjavik standards, though a burger meal with fries and a drink can still cost more than visitors from cheaper countries may expect, as with most food in Iceland.

The space is informal and functional, with counter ordering, simple seating and a lively, casual atmosphere. Noise levels are moderate to high at peak times, and the room is often busy with a mix of locals and visitors. There is no dress code, and diners generally arrive in outdoor clothing, especially in the colder months. The setup suits quick meals, takeaways and groups who want something relaxed rather than formal.

Opening hours are typically daily from lunchtime to late evening, though visitors should confirm times before planning. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations, so the best way to avoid queues is to arrive outside the 12:00-13:00 and early-evening peaks. Its position on Geirsgata is a few minutes on foot from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur and the Old Harbour restaurants, so it works well as part of a casual waterfront food crawl or a post-tour meal.
