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 2013 which you can read in full at www.grapevine.is
You can’t find a kebab in Reykjavík
that quite compares to what you would
find in almost any major European city
(and whatever you’ll find is going to
cost you more than you would expect),
but the Icelandic ones still make for a
pretty fast food option--and they keep
getting better. By now Reykjavík has a
handful of kebab places with the latest
one, Mandi, opening last year right
next door to another one called Ali
Baba. Last year’s winner, Kebab Grill,
is still pretty good, but we thought the
title should return to Habibi, which
took the award in 2011. “Habibi is the
only kebab place that does proper
spicy. If you ask for spicy, you’ll get
spicy,” one of our writers explains.
BEST MUSEUM:
THE NATIONAL MUSEUM
BEST PLACE TO STOCK UP
ON LOCAL DESIGN:
KRAUM
Best Of Reykjavík
Kraum is THE place to stock up on
local design. It represents more than
200 Icelandic artists, with a range of
products and prices that are sure to
satisfy any shoppers’ cravings.
We threw around some contenders to
take the title this year, but it ultimately
came down to the undisputed variety
at Kraum, and the professionalism and
dedication that the folks there have in
curating their excellent variety of prod-
ucts. Naturally, they took this category
for their fourth straight year. Keep up
the good work, Kraum!

There are so many curiosities about
Icelandic culture, art and history
that have been focused on in other
museums around town, but this one
has neatly condensed it all into one
awesome building. We were totally on
board to give it this honour as it’s one
of those places that kind of blends into
the landscape, but when you go for a
visit, you remember how fucking cool
this country is. The permanent collec-
tion is impeccably displayed and is full
of hidden gems (look up, look down)
and their temporary exhibits are state
of the art. Plus, they turned 150 this
year! Top THAT!
