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 following are some nice tips we pulled from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2015
which you can read in full at www.grapevine.is.
This is a funny category because of course
we‘re aiming to make it the “Best Worst Kept
Secret” in Reykjavík by highlighting it. There
were many worthy contenders this year and
that‘s even after excluding a lot of interesting
places just outside of Reykjavík proper.
This small place in Álfheimar (seats four)
is playing exclusively with Pad Thai in three
variations (chicken, shrimp, vegetarian).
It’s moderately greasy feel-good food done
correctly. Lightly scrambled eggs, fish
sauce, bean sprouts, spring onions, sugar,
peanuts. It’s simple and it’s a crowd pleaser.
Two out of the panel rushed out the next
day to try it and neither regretted the trip
outside the city centre.
Best Bookstore:
Bókabúð Steinars (Sjónarlind)
best of r ey k jav ík
Álfheimar 6 Bergstaðastræti 7
Even though Iceland is a country with a
remarkably high number of published
authors per capita, it’s surprising how limited
the bookstore game is. Bókabúð Steinars
on Bergstaðastræti is quite singular too,
offering a lovely and well-curated selection
of primarily non-fiction books almost
exclusively in English. Ranging through
topics such as biography, gastronomy,
fashion, art, photography and beyond, they
are the only first-hand indie bookstore in
town. “Not only do they have great books
showing styles and photographs, they also
have an excellent selection of beautiful
tutorial books,” said one bibliophile. “It is
really great to find something fun or to find
something to help you learn a serious skill.”
Sounds great to us.
Best Kept Secret:
Pad Thai Noodles
Best Place To End The Night:
Paloma Basement
Naustin
In Paloma’s dingy basement is a bar that,
on “djamm nights,” feels like you’ve already
landed in a particularly chaotic after-party.
It’s always full of faces from around town,
who come pouring in from whatever gigs or
events they’ve been at earlier in the night,
such as at Húrra next door. During peak
hours, Paloma feels a bit wild and chaotic,
like Bakkus used to be, or like Kaffibarinn
(whose “institution” status renders it
ineligible) before the tourist influx. It’s one
of Reykjavík’s few “all in” party places. A
particularly passionate write-in further
noted that “it’s a bit dirty, but by that point in
the night, maybe you don’t care—you’re so
shitfaced that nothing matters
