Perlan
In addition to its famous restaurant, Perlan also has a café offering food. You can eat with (almost) the same view and a much cheaper price.

Perlan
The Pearl
An iconic building on top of a wooded hill called Öskjuhlíð, to the southeast of the city centre. Perlan is built on top of five hot water storage tanks and offers fantastic views of the entire city from a viewing platform open to the public and from a rotating restaurant at the top. If the restaurant is too expensive for you (it is for most), there is also a small cafeteria on the same floor as the viewing platform. For the price of admission, one can view and interact with exhibits related to the geology, geological history, and natural history of Iceland. There are some shows related to these topics as well covered with the tickets.

Tian
This little Chinese restaurant near Laugardalslaug parc and the Arctic Comfort Hotel is a quiet little spot with great food and friendly service. The prices are quite low.

Múlakaffi
A bit away from the city centre, this place is very like an office cafeteria. It prides itself on selling authentic Icelandic home cooking. The sparse menu varies between days. Due to its location surrounded by offices, it caters more to a lunch than dinner and closes at 20:00 weekdays, 14:00 Saturdays and is not open Sundays. It also seems to stop serving main meals some hours before closing.
