What’s up Friðrik?
These days most of my time goes
into my new side project, Reykjavík
Chips, which I just opened with a few
friends—Ólafur Arnalds [the kickass
composer and one half of Kiasmos],
Arnar Dan [the actor], and Hermann
Óli [the local gourmand]. These days
I'm also working on some new music I
hope to release soon—I would describe
it as poppy R&B, I guess.
Early Morning
Every day starts with me driving
around the suburbs for about an hour.
First, I drop my girlfriend off at work
and then my daughter at daycare. After
that, I usually grab a cup of coffee at
Súfistinn in Hafnarfjörður, before go-
ing to Reykjavík Chips.
Lunch
I really like The Coocoo's Nest—I
should go there more often! Their
weekend brunch is pretty kickass. I
forget the name of my favourite dish.
Number three, or something.
Mid-day
I like to visit Reykjavík Roasters for my
midday cup of coffee. On a sunny day
it's lovely to sit outside and work on my
farmer's tan.
Afternoon
My favourite afternoons are the ones
I get to spend with my daughter in
downtown Hafnarfjörður, my home-
town, where it is always sunny and still.
Strandgata is the most beautiful street
in Iceland.
Heat of the Night
I like going out for dinner and drinks
with friends. My favourite place to do
so is Tapas Barinn, which always has a
nice atmosphere. The drinks are nice
and the food is great. I don’t really have
a favourite there—what I like is that it
always lets you try something new be-
cause there’s so many options.
