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.
Gandhi primarily serves cuisine from
Kerala in South India. It “is nutty both
in the sense that it uses coconuts
with wild abandon and in that its
influences are maddeningly diverse as
the region boasts a reasonably large
(mostly) non-vegetarian Christian
and Muslim community, while the
surrounding regions are mostly Hindu
and/or vegetarian,” as our food critic
explained last time we paid Gandhi an
official visit. “As much as I agree with
Gordon Ramsey about the simple two
page menus, it simply doesn’t apply
here. No one in their right mind goes to
India for minimalism,” he noted before
going on to praise the delicious food
and the diversity it brings to Reykjavík’s
restaurant scene.

Founded in 1977, the Handknitting
Association currently has around 200
active members who utilise the finest
materials for their handmade goods.
In addition to selling a plethora of
lopapeysas, they offer mittens, hats, and
more, all made from lightweight, water-
repellent, and breathable authentic
Icelandic wool. Though far from cheap,
Handprjónasambandið is the best place
to shop to avoid purchasing a sweater
that has been made in a sweatshop.
With a mastery of countless patterns
and an array of yarn for sale, the friendly
staff will even help you make your own.
If you’re in the market for a lopapeysa
to rep that Icelandic style wherever you
go, look no further than this slightly
overwhelming woollen paradise.

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 GRAVEYARD TO
HANG OUT IN: HÓLAVALL-
AGARÐUR CEMETERY
Consecrated in 1838, Hólavallagarður is
all twisting pathways and moss-covered
stones, rambling roots and crumbling
obelisks. As well as being the final
resting place of notable Icelanders,
such as national hero Jón Sigurðsson
and beloved expressionist painter
Johannes Kjarval, memorials to Faroese
and French sailors lost in Icelandic
waters can also be found there. It’s
beautiful no matter the season, with
tulips and seasonal blossoms planted
around headstones in the spring, and
memorial candles placed on the graves
at Christmas time.
