Reykjavík Grapevine - 10.05.2013, Blaðsíða 42
Kaffifélagið There is coffee, and then there is coffee. The kind that makes your mouth foam with delight at the mere thought of it. The kind that can wake you up from a horrible day's slumber, instantaneously drying your snow-wet feet. Kaffifélagið may be small, but it more than makes up for it in quality and atmosphere. Take your coffee to go or drink your espresso at the bar.

One of the few Thai restaurants in Iceland, Ban Thai gives the diner a unique experience in both atmosphere and cuisine. Laugavegur 130 1 Gallery Restaurant Truly one of Iceland’s finest dining establish- ments, Hótel Holt’s Gallery Restaurant has been a local staple since opening in 1965. Their consistently outstanding take on French cuisine and impeccable service ensures the place highest marks (as well as repeat visits) from gourmets and critics alike. Widely con- sidered a classic, and rightfully so. 2 Useful numbers Emergency number: 112 Medical help: 1770 Dental emergency: 575 0505 Information: 118 Taxi: Hreyfill-Bæjarleiðir: 588 5522 BSR: 561 0000 Tax Free Refund Iceland Refund, Aðalstræti 2, tel: 564 6400 Tourist information Arctic Adventures, Laugavegur 11, tel: 562 7000 City Centre, Aðalstræti 2, tel: 590 1550 Iceland Excursions – Grayline Iceland, Hafnarstræti 20, tel: 540 1313 The Icelandic Travel Market, Bankastræti 2, tel: 522 4979 Trip, Laugavegur 54, tel: 433 8747 Pharmacies Lyf og heilsa, Egilsgata 3, tel: 563 1020 Lyfja, Laugavegur 16, tel: 552 4045 and Lágmúla 5, tel: 533-2300 Coach terminal BSÍ, Vatnsmýrarvegur 10, tel: 562 1011, www.bsi.is Domestic airlines Air Iceland, Reykjavíkurflugvöllur, tel: 570 3030, www.flugfelag.is Eagle Air, Hótel Loftleiðir, tel: 562-4200 Public transport The only public transport available in Reykjavík is the bus.

The best selection of Icelandic design in the oldest house in Reykjavík, Aðalstræti 10. We are open every day. www.kraum.is 5 Prikið “Serving old men their morning coffee since way back, and somehow combining that with serving beer and hip hop to young folks since the late ‘90s. And burgers. And milkshakes. A one of a kind place with spirit and soul.” Bankastræti 12 9 Dill Pioneering New Nordic Kitchen style cuisine in Iceland, Dill Restaurant has very quickly gained status as a Reykjavík favourite. Using fresh and classic Nordic ingredients exclusively, Dill offers a unique dining experience whether you go for their short and simple lunchtime menu or the extensive evening one. Sturlugata 5 5 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. Skólavörðustígur 22a 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 ÁTVR (Liquor store) In Iceland, alcohol isn’t sold in the grocery shops (that stuff in the shops that looks like beer—it isn’t beer. Trust us). You can only buy alcohol in the state-owned liquor stores named Á VR, usually referred to as Ríkið (“The State”). Twelve stores are operated in the capital area and one is located in the city centre. Opening hours for the downtown one are: Mon.–Thu. 11:00–18:00, Fri. 11:00–19:00, Sat. 11:00–18:00.
