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 never-ending
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.
There are many great places to go on a
date, and some of them aren’t food-related,
but let’s face it, dinner is a pretty good way
to go. And if you’re going that way, Tapas
Barinn won’t disappoint, especially if it’s a
first date. The dimly lit basement makes for
an intimate setting to share some delicious
tapas. What’s more, if there’s ever a lull in
conversation, the continuous flow of dish-
es will fill any gaps and give you something
to talk about. By the time you’ve finished
a pitcher of sangria and a bunch of tapas,
you’ll stumble out, look down at your cell
phone and be surprised to find that you’ve
been there for three hours. Time flies when
you’re having fun…
BEST PLACE TO SPEND A
SUNNY DAY:
NAUTHÓLSVÍK
BEST LIQUOR STORE:
HEIÐRÚN
Best Of Reykjavík
Okay, liquor stores in Iceland are all
pretty similar. They are all owned by the
state. They are all marked by the same
“Vínbúðin” sign, and the ones in Reykja-
vík all have more or less the same open-
ing hours—mostly closing at 18:00 or 19:00,
with three of them — Dalvegur, Skeifan,
and Skútuvogur — closing at 20:00. A store
called Heiðrún doesn’t have the longest
opening hours and isn’t particularly conve-
niently located either, but it is superior to
the rest for another reason: It is the store
where they test new brands of beer, spirits
and wine before rolling them out to the rest
of the stores. So go there to help push that
new obscure brand onto the other shelves.

You probably didn’t come to Iceland to
hang out at the beach. You probably would
have picked a tropical island if that’s what
you were after. That said, Nauthólvík is a
pretty awesome beach and it’s probably
the best place to spend a sunny day. The
water is warm thanks to the hot geother-
mal water that gets pumped into the ocean
and the sand was apparently imported
from Morocco. There’s also a great beach-
front hot tub there if it’s getting chilly.

TAPAS BARINN
The concept of the restaurant is "casual fun
dining" and we prepare what we would call a
simple honest, "feel good", comfort food,
where we take on the classics with
a modern twist.
