Great spot for vegetarians! We tried the two standard options (cheese/onion and sauerkraut) as well as both options of the day (smoked tofu and chili). We didn't try the soup of the day but it sounded great too. We ended up getting a plate of ten and a plate of seven between two hungry people.
I didn’t expect to eat pierogies in Iceland, but we needed a quick dinner close to our hotel and stopped by for takeout. Kemuri is recognized as having the best vegan food in Reykjavik per a small posting on their door, so even though we are not vegan nor vegetarian, we saw this as a promising sign. They also sell coffee and cakes here, which is an interesting combination. They offered two classic pierogies, which are sold all the time, and three specials of the day. You can get them in an order of seven or 10, and either cooked the traditional way, or served in a soup. For the four of us, we got three orders of 10, so 30 pieces total. They came topped with caramelized onion, green onion and tossed in butter. The employee kindly asked us if we wanted regular butter, which we appreciated. Small scoops of diced carrot and sour cream came on the side along with pickles. The BLACK LENTIL was my favorite. Along with the hearty lentils, I could taste the earthy mushrooms and it had a good spice blend. The CLASSIC contained cottage cheese, onion and potato. Although the filling was on the saltier side, I still enjoyed them. Finally, we also got the SMOKED TOFU, which I didn’t particularly love. It had onion and potato, but the smokiness was just a bit much for me, so that is all I really tasted. All the pierogies were generously filled and I liked the dough which had a great chew. After a long travel day, I enjoyed these comforting dumplings which were both tasty and wholesome.
Best Dumplings! Tasty, healthy and fair priced. Cool, easy going location, also really good coffee – we came here twice:)
They had 3 specials and I had a mix of vegi meat and tofu on a plate and it was astounding. So delicious and unique with very good ingredients. The guy working there was very friendly too
Truly some of the best dumplings that I have ever had. The owner is also very friendly and cool. They also have cheesecake that looked delicious. Make sure you check this place out!
