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.
K-Bar made a splash when it opened
in late 2013 and it continues to roll out
innovative new dishes. But thanks to
creative cocktails, a strong line-up of
beers and trendy yet cosy décor, K-Bar
is satisfying even before the food arrives.
The menu is detail-oriented and exciting,
showcasing a unique fusion of Korean and
Portuguese influences. Though the Korean
staple, Bi Bim Bap, is good, the soft shell
crab tempura sandwich and fish burgers
are standouts. K-Bar also has a special
place in our hearts because they offer
what might be the best food and drink deal
in the city. Between 16:00 and 18:00, you
can stop in and get their sauce-slathered
KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) wings and the
beer of the day for only 990 ISK. From the
fresh flavours, the steal of a deal and the
cronuts, K-Bar is an extremely welcomed
addition to the Reykjavík dining scene.

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 TO GO ON A
RAINY DAY:
A HOT TUB
So you came to Iceland knowing, of
course, that the weather is not, let’s
say, its finest feature. You knew that
there would be rain and wind (so much
fucking wind) and that it wouldn’t be all
sunshine-on-the-mountaintops like 'The
Sound of Music' or an Icelandair promo
video. You knew this, but you didn’t
believe it, and now you’re sad because
you came all this way and the weather
blows. Literally. We feel you, man. What
hot pot, you ask? Any hot pot. You’ll be
warm and toasty and relaxed and the
fact that it’s sleeting or hailing in your
face will suddenly feel bracing or even
a tiny bit amusing, instead of symbolic of
humanity’s futile struggle against nature
and the fragility of the human vessel.
