Reykjavík Grapevine - 01.07.2011, Blaðsíða 53
Places We Like Sægreifinn Down by the Reykjavík harbour, Sægreifinn fish shop and restaurant is a pretty unique establishment. The menu features various fish dishes (including most of the “crazy Icelandic food” you’ll want to tell your friends you had) and a rich portion of some pretty good lobster soup. Good food and welcoming service make this place a must-try. Geirsgötu 8 1 Tíu Dropar If you’re sick of all the arty cafés, filled with Sigur Rós wannabes and their Macs, browsing Facebook, go to Tíu Dropar. It’s a back-to-basics Icelandic café that hasn’t changed their interior since the 60s. Really proves the saying ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ Plus, the coffee’s great. SKK Laugavegur 27 6 nonnabiti Delicious and relatively cheap considering how massive and filling their sandwiches are. The Luxury Sub, with salty pork, veggies, sauce and pineapple is a brilliant combination of flavours for late-night munchies. It’s just as satisfying and filling during more civilized hours as well. And the service is fast if you’re in a rush. Hafnarstræti 9 9 núðluhúsið Although hardly breaking new ground in Thai cuisine, Núðluhúsið is a safe bet for a cheap, generously portioned, tasty enough meal. You can expect fresh ingredients and fast, courteous service. So if you're wondering which of the many Thai restaurants to choose from on a low budget, we recommend Núðluhúsið. Laugavegur 59 10 English Pub True to its name, the English Pub offers a wide variety of lager on tap and a whiff of that genuine UK feel. You may also try their famous "wheel of fortune" with the chance of winning up to a metre of beer with a single spin. Cheers! Austurstræti 12 3 Habibi This small restaurant offers up a concise menu of delicious Arabic cuisine, from shawarma to kebabs and falafels. The staff is really friendly and accommodating of requests to kick up the spiciness or tone it down if the customer so desires. Habibi seriously hits the spot after hours of partying (or any other time of day) so it’s convenient that the place is open until 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Hafnarstræti 18 16Mai Thai Located across from Hlemmur Bus Station, Mai Thai imports and sells all sorts of products from South East Asia, particularly Thailand and the Philippines. Depending on the day, you might find fresh coriander, mint, chilies, bean sprouts, exotic fruits such as Durian, Carambola or Coconut, as well as year round products such as frozen spring rolls, various kinds of rice sold in bulk bags, sauces and spices galore, egg and rice noodles, Asian snacks, clothes and other knick-knacks. In short, a wide array of what are still considered rare and exotic treats in Reykjavík. Laugavegur 118 14 Babalú Located on the second-floor of a quirky little building on Skólavörðustígur, Babalú is an inviting, quaint and cosy café serving up a selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate along with delicious baked goods and light meals. Food and drink aside, Babalú boasts colourfully decorated and super- comfortable surroundings and a genuinely friendly and likeable staff. Skólavörðustígur 22 15 Litla Jólabúðin Christmas store run year round. Established in a backyard on the little residential street of Grundarstígur in 2002, Litla Jólabúðin moved to Laugavegur a few years ago, but maintains a mom-and-pop store kind of feeling. Akureyri has Jólagarðurinn, Reykjavík has Jólabúðin. Laugavegur 8 8 Boston Like an older sibling to the fabled (now de- ceased) Sirkús, Boston is a warm and mellow second-floor bar on Laugavegur that plays host to the arty party crowd. The baroque wall dressings and deep, rich coloured décor make this bar feel pretty swank, but Boston also serves up some reasonably priced food earlier in the evening, so it’s not too swank.

Don’t get me wrong, they can be brilliant if you’re completely pissed, the DJ is fresh and the crowd is full-blooded, still the weekdays are better. It doesn’t matter when you pop in, you’re always treated like a pal rather than a customer, and you should always expect get caught in some shenanigan, whether it’s a crazy Monday bender or a wacko Tuesday... well... bender. Bergstaðastræti 1 7 Á næstu Grösum Á Næstu Grösum is an all vegetarian restaurant right in the city centre that features a friendly atmosphere and fair prices. There is always at least one vegan soup on offer and the daily special portions are big and always satisfying. There is even some organic wine on offer. Laugavegur 20B 2 Geirsgata 1 Hamborgarabúllan Considered by some to be the best real hamburger in Reykjavík, “Bullan” does serve some mysteriously delicious burgers, guaranteed to take the edge off any hangover. 4
