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 pulled
from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2012, which you can find in full at www.grapevine.is
While Búllan is still a popular choice
among Reykjavík’s burger lovers,
there’s a new burger in town that
simply can’t be ignored—its sheer tasty,
meaty, juicy, burgery, bacony delicious-
ness ensures its status as Reykjavík’s
best burger bar none. We are of course
talking about Grillmarket’s hamburger,
what with all its glorious 220 grams of
high quality, fire-grilled ground beef
topped with crispy bacon sandwiched
between freshly baked, mustard-
smeared buns. Anyone who has tried it
will attest that the Grillmarket-burger
is leagues beyond any other burger in
town, and at 1,890 ISK it comes at a
fair price. The only downside is that it’s
only available until 14:00 daily!

Swimming is a favourite pastime in Ice-
land. Most towns around the country
have a swimming pool and Reykjavík
has seven of them. They do in fact all
have their charm, but we think it’s safe
to call Laugardalslaug the best pool.
Why? Because it’s huge, it has a bunch
of hot tubs at varying temperatures, it
has a killer waterslide and the stadium
seating blocks out the cold northerly
winds, which are usually accompanied
by sunny rays. Not to mention, it was
remodelled last year and it is more
beautiful, relaxing and funner than
ever.

Those with a fashion fetish will tell
you that KronKron offers “the only
proper selection of current interna-
tional designers in Reykjavík,” with
one even remarking: “I would have no
idea what I’d do without them! They
are the only ones actively importing
new clothes!” Go there for clothes by
labels such as Marc Jacobs, Wood
Wood and Vivienne Westwood, shoes
by Eley Kishimoto and Sonia Rykiel
and of course the storeowners’ newly
launched label KRONbyKRONKRON.
Of course it all comes with a price, but
we are told tourists can get tax-free
rebates of the stuff, which ultimately
renders it pretty cheap.
