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.
The Best Burger award has often been a
contentious one, with the office arguing
back and forth between Vitabarinn and
Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar, but this
year we have a clear winner and it is
KEX Hostel’s spicy “Freedom” burger.
Consisting of high quality grass-fed free
range beef, Ísbúi cheese, caramelised
onion mayonnaise, veggies and fries on
the side, it is absolutely, mouthwateringly
overkill for a regular burger, with the only
complaint imaginable being the slightly
steep price of 2,490 ISK. We’ve heard
enough local chefs complimenting the
burger, though, to convince us to select
it as the Best Burger in Reykjavík.

This award has bounced back and
forth between Mál og Menning and
Eymundsson, but the moment that Nexus
was mentioned, all of our panellists were
onboard. Not only is Nexus well-stocked
in contemporary fiction, but they have
an amazing selection of fantasy and sci-
fi novels, as well as teen fiction, comic
books, graphic novels and manga.
The place also avoids the negative
stereotype about comic book stores,
putting a lot of effort into making sure
it has a very female-positive attitude. If
they don’t have the book you want, they
can hunt it down and order it for no extra
charge.

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 PLACE FOR A JOG:
GRÓTTA
The path along Ægissíða has run circles
around its competition, earning the
position of being the best place for a jog
for the third year in a row. This coastal
path caters to all types of workouts. If
you’re taking it easy, the ocean view
and the charming houses provide a
pleasant backdrop while motivating you
to keep at it. Breaks can be taken at the
old fishing station, the ice cream shop,
a water fountain, or at one of the many
benches or picnic tables if the weather
allows it. If you’re revving to go, running
east along the long path will keep you
off the streets and afford nice views of
Bessastaðir (the President’s residence),
Perlan, and the Fossvogur bay while
you’re at it. You can then reward yourself
with a dip at Nauthólsvík before having
to head back.
