Reykjavík Grapevine - 13.07.2012, Blaðsíða 60
Places We Like Við Tjörnina Winner of The Grapevine’s Best Seafood Restaurant in 2011, Við Tjörnina is the quintessential classic Icelandic dining experience for newcomers to the country. Serving hákarl (putrefied shark) and brennivín as staples on the menu, the restaurant also offers delicacies such as scallops, halibut and other fish for the not- so-fearless diner. Templarasundi 3 4 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.

Why? Their coffee is decent to excellent, but their forte is surely their wonderful patio, where you can enjoy the spring breeze in the sun, wrap yourself in a blanket beneath an electric heater in January and at all times: smoke. Austurstræti 20 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. 3 Spúútnik This super hip vintage shop in the heart of downtown is quintessential to Icelandic fashion trends. Ranging from classic, national pattern sweaters to some of the craziest throwback fashions from eras we thought we were glad to see gone, Spúútnik can make a pair of flowered, day-glow parachute pants seem like a smart buy. Laugavegur 28b 9 Café Babalú It’s tough to miss the brightly colored Café Babalú walking up Skólavörðustígur. A cosy place for coffee and cake, the well-worn, homey ambience makes it difficult to leave. Check out their rooftop patio on sunny days as well.

B B D A B C D C A 13 6 Þingholt Bar Located in CenterHotel Þingholt, Þingholt bar is tucked away just outside of the mayhem that is Laugavegur on a weekend night. For a quieter evening, Þingholtsbar is definitely worth a closer look. Show up between 17–19 for the daily happy hour. Þingholtsstræti 5 7 Reykjavík Backpackers Mingle with internationals and enjoy free Wi-Fi at this convenient hangout right in the middle of the action. Reykjavík Backpack- ers is an inexpensive hostel with a cool downtown vibe. They serve up sandwiches, cakes and coffee during the day, and offer live entertainment, beer and drink specials at night. Laugavegur 28 2 Deli Getting a good slice of pizza on the go can be an utter ordeal. If you’re not careful, you’ll frequently wind up paying good money for a cardboardy wafer that has been sitting in a heater box for a week. Not at Deli, however. Their slices are consistently awesome and fresh, the topping selection is intriguing and tasteful and, best of all, they’re really cheap.
