Reykjavík Grapevine - 13.04.2012, Blaðsíða 46
Places We Like Laundromat Café At the Laundromat Cafe you can do laundry, drink a beer and have a grandma read to your children all under one roof. This kid- friendly restaurant opened last spring in Reykjavík and prides itself on its full menu, cool concept, 5.000 books (that you can buy or trade), board games, and up-to-date newspapers and magazines (including a WALL OF GRAPEVINES). Austurstræti 9 2 Sægreifinn Down by the Reykjavík harbour, Sægreifinn fish shop and restaurant is a pretty unique establishment. The menu features various fish dishes (including most of the “crazy Icelandic food” you’ll want to tell your friends you had) and a rich portion of some pretty good lobster soup. Good food and welcoming service make this place a must-try.

Go there for an excellent cup whenever you feel like it, or indulge in beer and low-key concerts at night. Geirsgata 7b/Verbúð 2 6 Kaffibarinn Weekends are somewhat overrated at Kaf- fibarinn if you ask me. Don’t get me wrong, they can be brilliant if you’re completely pissed, the DJis fresh and the crowd is full- blooded, still the weekdays are better. You should always expect to get caught in some shenanigan, whether it’s a crazy Monday bender or a wacko Tuesday...well... bender. Bergstaðastræti 1 5 1 Hressó You know, Hressó is basically the only place I go for coffee. Why? Their coffee is decent to excellent, but their forte is surely their wonderful patio, where you can enjoy the spring breeze in the sun, wrap yourself in a blanket beneath an electric heater in January and at all times: smoke. Austurstræti 20 Grái Kötturinn Super relaxed and cosy diner/café below street level. This place makes the best hangover breakfast ever (the truck!) and any-other-day breakfast as well. It’s a nice and relaxing place to eat and increase your caffeine intake and chill with friends or with some reading material. Hverfisgata 16a 4 Austur Sleek and shiny, this new restaurant and bar is a straight-up boutique hot spot for stylish kids and trendy professionals alike. Appropriate for formal business meetings but casual enough for the roll-out-bed-at- 5pm crowd, they serve up ample, satisfying, modern dishes at reasonable prices. This is also one of the rare places to get a full breakfast all day long!
