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.
With its shiny yellow exterior, quirky,
cluttered décor and the strong, exotic
aromas emanating from its kitchen,
Babalú is a beacon of good, relaxing
vibes and nurtures that nostalgic,
carefree part of your soul. And better
yet, Babalú has an endless tea list hip
enough for all the Ramona Flowers out
there. They’ve also developed a delicious
mutant tea/coffee offspring in their
‘chamomile soya latté.’ It’s easy to spend
the better part of a day curled up on the
sofa, talking to the friendly staff and
visitors, or taking to the comfy balcony
to soak up those rays during the summer
months.

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 MUSEUM:
THE NATIONAL MUSEUM
This is the best place to go to soak up
knowledge of the Icelandic nation.
Educate yourself on folk customs, look
at old photographs and prints, see
artefacts such as the first Icelandic Bible
and the chess board used by Bobby
Fischer and Boris Spassky in the 1972
World Chess Championship, hang in the
library, and explore the dense collection
which spans over 1000 years of Icelandic
history and culture. We promise it’s not a
boring place to go.
