Every year around the beginning of July, we make a BEST OF REYKJAVÍK ISSUE celebrating some
of what makes Reykjavík-life worthwhile, posting some good entries into a hopefully neverending
discussion. The primary purpose of BEST OF REYKJAVÍK is celebration! It’s about big-upping stuff,
giving mad props to it and patting it on the shoulder. The following are some nice tips we culled
from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2012, which you can find in full at www.grapevine.is
The noodle wars have been rag-
ing for over two years now, with
Skólavörðustígur serving as battle
ground for two noodle bars that take
turns topping one another in noodly
deliciousness. Both Núðluskálin and
Noodle Station are wonderful in their
own right, but we decided to stage
an election through our social media
platforms. In the end, Noodle Station
won the vote with 29 votes against
Núðluskálin’s 21. One fan summed
up Noodle Station’s appeal, saying:
“Keep it good and simple, the way food
should be.”
BEST PLACE TO CHEER UP:
THE POND
While it was a refreshing swim at
Nauthólsvík last year, we decided on
Reykjavík’s pond “Tjörnin” this time.
We thought: “What’s a good all-year-
round place to cheer up? People need
to be able to cheer up in the winter
too.” And that ruled out swimming in
Nauthólsvík. “But the pond!” someone
exclaimed. “You can go ice skating
there in the winter when it’s a real
wonderland, and then you can always
feed the ducks.” Seconding that,
someone wrote us: “Feed the ducks
at the pond because they're funny
and there’s always some over excited
chubby cheeked kid to cheer you up.”

BEST NOODLE PLACE:
NOODLE STATION
While most bars in Reykjavík are con-
tent to sell run of the mill “bjór,” Micro
Bar prides itself in having an excel-
lent selection of exotic beers on draft
and by the bottle. The place recently
opened inside Center Hotel earlier this
year and we’re pretty into it. They carry
all of Iceland’s wonderful microbrews
and import fine beer and liquor that
you’re not going to taste anywhere else
in town.
