66 The Reykjavík Grapevine
Issue 09 — 2017
There's no better way to start the day than with a cup of tea and some light research.
Arnar is always on the hunt for new ideas to implement in his kitchen.
Arnar's attention to detail is
well-known, as is his obsession
with fresh ingredients. Carefully
selected herbs grow just behind
the restaurant. Arnar picks the
best every morning in order to
use them in the kitchen.
Getting ready early in the day for a busy evening is essential: pick, chop and slice with love and care.
Sustainability is paramount. Arnar doesn't own a car;
instead he rides the bus to work every single day.
Fresh fish is delivered every morning at 11:00.
Arnar makes sure everything is how it should be.
Breathe in the fresh morning air before diving in.
Only the best for the best: a cup of coffee from
Reykjavík Roasters and the day can finally start.
