The Reykjavík Grapevine Best of Reykjavík 2018 18 BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2018 Dining Stuff your face, daintily Best Lunch Place Snaps Þórsgata 1 Oh, Snaps, our most beloved bistro! If the experience of their rising dinner prices and peak-hour waiting times stills stings, it’s time to heal that wound by dropping in for lunch instead. There’s a faultless fish of the day, prompt service, and a little bit of daytime quiet to your- self. Psst: if with a co-worker, split the crème brulée, and we promise your day will be brighter from that moment on. Runners Up Grillmarket Lækjargata 2a Even though they don’t advertise it, Grillmarket offers an excellent value lunch. The burger is popular, but we recommend the salted cod. “It’s not too salty, and perfectly cooked every time,” said the panel. And at 2,990 ISK instead of the 5,990 ISK price at dinner, it’s a lunchtime steal. Ostabúðin Skólavörðustígur 8 No longer a ‘secret lunch spot’ spot, Ostabúðin is great nonetheless. Their fish of the day is 1,990 ISK at lunchtime, and you can get a half portion of the soup if you’re hangry. The seafood soup has generous chunks of white fish, cooked just right by the warmth of the soup itself.

And that’s what you’ll get at Mandi. Their quesadilla-like arais maria is thin flatbread stuffed with ground lamb and spices, grilled and served like a Syrian calzone, only better. The guys behind the counter are forever smiling, the food is cheap, the crowd is bustling and tipsy after 4am, and it hits all the bases for being a sweet post-party snack spot like no other. Runners Up Devitos Laugavegur 126 If you were born in the 80s, then chances are you’ve spent at least two decades worth of late-night pizza bingeing at Devitos. Available by the slice or as whole pies, it’s on the weekend that Devitos really steps up its customer care game. Their greasy slices are done just right. Dirty Burger and Ribs Austurstræti 18 “Nothing beats eating juicy, sticky ribs after a night of drinking,” said our increasingly peckish panel. The ribs at Dirty Burger and Ribs are salty, sweet, and fall-off-the-bone tender. If that doesn’t convince you, we don’t know what will. Previous Winners 2017: Ali Baba 2016: Fish and Chips 2015: Dirty Burger & Ribs 2014: Nonnabiti Best Place To Go With A Group Of Friends Tapas barinn Vesturgata 3b Tapas barinn may not be faithful to the Spanish definition of a tapas bar, but what they do capture well—and bois- terously at that—is the atmosphere and liveliness of tapas. It’s long been a local tradition to host reunions, bach- elor parties and noisy get-togethers at Tapas barinn. The food is served for the whole table, and the selection is huge, spanning local langoustine, puffin and lamb, as well as more global fare. And it’s all delicious. Runners Up Marshall House Bar + Restaurant Grandagarður 20 Newcomer: It may not be the first place one thinks of—101-dwelling Icelanders find anything outside of their 100m ra- dius far away—but The Marshall House is a seriously underrated place to start or end the night. With great cocktails, finger-licking food and a beautiful har- bourside location, it’s a classy affair. Sushi Social Þingholtsstræti 5 With colourful cocktails, festive music, and service that’s eager to please, Sushi Social takes the ‘social’ part seriously. The drinks keep coming, the food isn’t too heavy, and the peppy carnival vibe and downtown location make it perfect to start the night before heading out to djamma like a true Reykvíkingar.
