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
Family-run La Luna trattoria opened
up for business on Rauðarárstígur last
year and has been steadily winning
fans since with its delicious wood fired
pizzas that have folks gushing on the
streets and on the net. “The pizzas at
La Luna are the best on offer in Reyk-
javík these days, whether you’re eating
in or taking out. It’s a shame they don’t
deliver,” remarked one reader, while
another noted: “Their toppings are
always fresh and plentiful, they never
skimp, and if you like cheese... OMG!”
We gave it several tries and are happy
to confirm the verdict: La Luna is the
best thing going in Reykjavík pizza
today, even though their pasta might
be hit or miss.

BEST PLACE TO SPEND A
RAINY DAY:
BÍÓ PARADÍS
Best Of Reykjavík
It was a close race between the swim-
ming pool/hot tub and Bíó Paradís, but
after much back and forth we decided
that the movie theatre is once again
the place to be on a rainy day. Why?
There are lots of movies. They have a
huge area with tables and couches to
hang out. They have games. They have
beer. They have popcorn. And they
don’t just have movies. They tend to
have a unique selection of films that
you can’t see at the chain theatres
around town. We’re also pretty happy
that the art house theatre is still in
business.

There are a bunch of nice places to
read a book, but many of them are
weather-dependent and relying on the
weather is risky at best. If it’s sunny
we agree that the botanical garden is
a pretty nice, quiet place to read. You
can find a spot there sheltered from
the wind, but if it’s cold and rainy, you
probably don’t want to be outside.
That’s why we decided to go with
Stofan, a cosy café with comfortable
couches. It feels super homey, like
grandma’s house homey, and it’s typi-
cally pretty quiet.
