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.
In an era when everyone is obsessed
with visibility and self-promotion, it may
come as a surprise that Hverfisgata
12 wins our best pizza award. The
place doesn’t advertise, the house isn’t
marked “PIZZA” in big tourist-trapping
letters and it doesn’t even have a
Facebook page! As far as we can tell,
people only know about it through
word of mouth, which can be pulled off
because Hverfisgata 12 offers the kind
of pizzas you are unlikely to have tried
before, with inventive toppings such as
barbecue sauce, shredded pork, pears,
roasted seeds and horseradish cream.
The attached bar is also properly decked
out and staff are well versed at making
cocktails, in case you fancy having a
nightcap before heading home.

BEST BEST ROMANTIC
WALK:
GRÓTTA
For the third year in a row, our panellists
deemed Grótta the best romantic
walk. Although we don’t know how
many of them have actually taken their
significant others to Grótta, it’s easy to
see why it keeps taking the cake. Grótta
is an island at the tip of Seltjarnarnes,
which features a picturesque lighthouse.
If your timing is good, the tide will be
low and you can stroll over hand-in-
hand, take a seat on the rocks and look
out across the ocean whilst dreaming
about what’s on your horizon. Do note,
however, that the island is off limits
during nesting season.
Grótta, Seltjarnarnes
