Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is a famous hot dog stand in Reykjavík, Iceland. It is known for serving; what many consider to be; the best hot dogs in the country. It has become a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists. The name Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur translates to “The Best Hot Dogs in Town.” They are delicious!
The hot dogs, called “pylsur” in Icelandic, are made from a blend of lamb, pork, and beef. They are not your average hotdog. They are typically served with a variety of toppings, including raw onions, crispy fried onions, ketchup, and sweet brown mustard (called “pylsusinnep”). There is also a remoulade sauce made with mayonnaise, capers, mustard, and herbs that is very tasty.
Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur gained international fame when former U.S. President Bill Clinton visited the stand in 2004 and ordered a hot dog, further boosting its popularity. The stand has been in operation since 1937, and its rich history, combined with the high quality of its hot dogs, has made it an iconic part of Icelandic culture.
Don’t forget to roam around and see the Rainbow Street and the main shopping avenue of Laugavegur Street.
