The R eykjavík G rapevine B est of R eykjavík 20 17 10 BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2017 Dining Iceland's not cheap so it better be good peel it Best sushi Fiskmarkaðurinn Aðalstræti 12 Helmed by one of Iceland's best-known chefs, Hrefna Sætran, Fisk- markaðurinn (The Fish Market) is hands down our panel's favour- ite sushi restaurant in town. We suggest making a meal of just the sashimi platter: beautifully presented at the table with a lot of flair, deftly sliced fatty salmon and trout, glistening scallop are merciful- ly left unadorned, with a sprinkle of roe here and a delicious mound of wakame there. Pair this with the wasabi cocktail and you have a light, refreshing meal. Runners Up Sakebarinn Laugavegur 2 Housed in a beautiful old timber house in the heart of downtown, Sakebarinn's window seats alone should be reason enough to drop by. They do a variety of sauce-laden sushi rolls—the local favourite—but we recommend sticking to the sushi and sashimi platter. Sushi Social Þingholtsstræti 5 This Japanese/South American fusion place had to change names recent- ly—but there’s still plenty of samba in the menu. Everything comes with lots of lime, sauce and chilli, their tempura batter is pleasingly light, and the cock- tail menu should help any sushi purists through the fusion-cooking trauma.

Kaffi Vínyl offers wholesome vegan fare in generous portions, with soy-based Oumph meat substitute, and various non-dairy milk options for the beverages. They have a huge record collection and DJs several times a week, with the crackle of vinyl lending a warm atmosphere—Vínyl is also one of our preferred places to start a night out. It’s casual in all ways, so the service can be patchy, but one bite of an Oumph sandwich makes up for it. Runners Up Bergsson Mathús Templarasund 3 It isn’t all-vegetarian, but Bergsson championed the salad bar trend—think Ottolenghi. The homemade hummus, pesto, and freshly baked bread are great, but it’s the hearty soups and spinach lasagne that make it a firm and lasting favourite. Gló Laugavegur 20 & more Gló’s busiest days are the first days of the week, when people make a col- lective promise to eat clean and stay healthy after the weekend. They serve the occasional chicken dish, but vege- tarians won’t be short of options—try the fresh pressed juices, fresh salads, raw lasagna and specials on rotation.

Dill showcases the best of Iceland with seasonal menus, paying homage to the island’s bounty, often found no place else, executed with all the tweezer-precision of modern cuisine. Don’t even think twice about splurging for the seven-course menu— it’s the only way to do it. Top-notch service and friendly sommeliers round off an already perfect experience. Runners Up Grillið Hótel Saga, Hagatorg Grillið‘s sweeping panoramic views and stable of seasoned chefs, along with old-school fine-dining flourishes like the crisp linen, have us swooning with delight. So great is this place, we’ve never stopped talking about a luscious chocolate mousse with olive oil we had there years ago. Grill Market Lækjargata 2a The tasting menus with produce sourced from local purveyors have been a hit with diners since Grill Market opened its doors. We suggest choosing one of the set menus and letting the chefs go to town. Previous Winners 2015: Dill 2015: Dill 2014: Dill 2013: Gallery at Hótel Holt 2012: Grill Market
