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 2014 which you can read in full at www.grapevine.is.
When you find yourself stumbling out of
bed with a skull-splitting headache and
a deep abhorrence of everything and
everyone, look no further than Prikið for
the perfect remedy. Despite there being a
significant chance that the café/bar/hip-
hop haven contributed to your hangover,
any hard feelings are patched up by their
back-to-back winner, The Hangover Killer.
This heaven-sent meal comes complete
with a hangover sandwich (ham, cheese,
bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce, and garlic
dressing), a Jack Daniels infused ‘Bruce
Willis milkshake’ and a tablet of Treo
painkiller. Working together, this ensemble
provides you with a Hangover Holy Trinity:
greasy food, the hair of the dog, and a
doctor-recommended analgesic.

This charming pair of stores, one in 101 and
the other in 105, is perfect for those who
really care about where their food comes
from. The purveyors of Frú Lauga look to
promote tradition as well as innovation in
food, and often have samples of the wine
and food to prove it!

Osushi is a unique
rest aurant in Iceland.
The met hod of dining involves
snatching small plates from
a conveyor belt. Pricing is
distinguished by the color
and pattern of the plate –
most range between
230 - 440 ISK.

Everything off the con vey or
belt is tasty and if you don´t
really fancy sushi, you can
instead choose for ex ample
teriyaki chicken, noodle
salad, tempura and desserts.

The vibe in Osushi is friendly
and relaxed. The restaurant is
located almost next door to
Althingi (the parliament) which
is in the heart of the city.

BEST POOL:
VESTURBÆJARLAUG
Though recently refurbished, is not our
fanciest pool—it doesn’t have Laugar-
dalslaug’s amazing slide or salt water hot
pot, for instance—but it is a damn fine
neighbourhood pool where normal people
(and, um, Björk) can go swim a few laps,
have a schvitz in the sauna or steam rooms,
and then settle in one of the four hot pots
for a little ‘pottaspjall,’ or hot pot chat. And
after your swim, you can cap the experi-
ence with an ice cream cone the size of
your head at Grapevine Institution Ísbúð
Vesturbæjar, just around the corner.
