Reykjavík Grapevine - 01.02.2013, Blaðsíða 38
Kaffibarinn A popular café on weekdays, on weekends Kaffibarinn turns into a ticket for a wild night out, as the space fills up with the late-night souls oozing energy in every corner. With DJs playing and the occasional rock band, the party usually lasts until early morning, yet often manages to leave you begging for more.

The spiced ‘Skyronnaise’ sauce is a special treat, and their clean, casual location by the harbour is full of charm. Tryggvagata 8 1 Gandhi If you think Iceland has nothing to offer in the way of Indian food, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised to know about Gandhi, Reykjavík’s premiere South Indian restaurant. The menu is made up of different masala, tikka and tandoori dishes compose and also various seafood curries.

H A F N A R S T R Æ T I 5 & S KÓL AVÖR ÐU S T ÍG U R 10 5 The English Pub True to its name, the English Pub offers many different kinds of lager on tap and a whiff of that genuine UK feel. Try the famous “wheel of fortune” where one can win up to a metre of beer with a single spin. In addition the pub has several large screens which can show different types of sports at once, providing something for everyone. Austurstræti 12 9 Forréttabarinn This hip restaurant offers delicious starter- sized dishes at very reasonable prices. Traditional Icelandic courses such as the minke whale and the horse are highly recommended. The open kitchen also allows excellent views of the chefs as they prepare the dishes in front of you, adding to the cool factor of the place. Nýlendugata 14 5 Búllan Considered by some to be the best “real” hamburger in Reykjavík, “Búllan” does serve some mysteriously delicious burgers, guar- anteed to take the edge off any hangover. This is a very cool little hamburger bar, where you can sit right up close to the counter and savour the amazing smells as these top class burgers are cooked away. Geirsgata 1 3 Munnharpan Danish cuisine with the inherent French influence and a little more French sprinkled on top. Munnharpan is owned by the same people that run Jómfrúin, a long-standing favourite in the local scene. The meals are mostly suitable with plenty of light courses offering a selection of smørrebrød (Danish open faced sandwiches) mixed with classic French courses. Austurbakki 2 4 Micro Bar One of Reykjavík’s newest bars also boasts one of the city’s largest selection of draught beers. It carries eight different kinds of beer on tap, as well as bottled beer from microbreweries in Iceland, Denmark, Belgium and Scotland. No doubt the biggest beer selection in town. Austurstræti 6 6 Den Danske Kro This Danish-themed bar is located on Ingólfsstræti, just off Laugavegur. They serve up Danish favourites, such as open faced smørrebrød sandwiches, Tuborg beer and Akavit schnapps. Their ‘Happy Hour’, every day between 16–19, is a great source of fun. How to ask for a large beer in Danish: “Hej, jeg vil gerne ha’ en stor øl, tak”. Ingólfsstræti 3 7 11 13 E 9 8 D
