They indicate your best option, whether you’re looking for shopping, dining, drinking or party- ing in Reykjavík. We at the Grapevine know what’s best! Also, these are the stickers from our previous “Best of’’ selections, giv- en to winners from prior years. THE GUIDE-GUIDE How We Picked the Winners The word “conclusion’’ is a little strong in this case. We have argued, fought and, in one case, slammed our head against the wall. We interviewed panels, tried blind taste-tests, and, in another case, consulted what we believe to be an or- acle. This was not an easy or accurate endeavour. The best comparison is glíma, or Icelandic wrestling. It’s not flashy or well produced like WWE. It’s not exactly graceful like Olympic wrestling, espe- cially Greco-Roman. It’s two people in weird leather underwear, staring into each other’s eyes and trying to hip-check each other while simultaneously attempt- ing an atomic wedgie. We’ll be honest. Some of the winners are just outright winners, but some are a matter of debate and controversy. Like in any other country, there are cliques or special interest groups. The bar most liked by a 22-year-old noise music fanat- ic might seem a little off-putting to a bespectacled jazz enthusiast. We’re not saying those two groups can’t overlap. Maybe they can. Jazz people are good at improvising and noise music definitely needs more fans. The thing is, this is a guide. It’s a work in progress. It’s an attempt at letting people know where we think they should go. We didn’t all agree on everything, so the runners up could end up being more palatable to you, and the winners could be your third favourite. Yikes. If this lack of certainty is too much for you: Imagine being the original tourist to Iceland. A wandering tax-evader from Norway who decides to settle on a rock almost uninhabited by animal life. A land that occasionally explodes and gey- sers that burst scalding sulphur-scented water from the ground like a cannon ball at Satan’s pool party. It’s the kind of place where people would invent glíma. The best of Icelandic produce with a nod to Japan and South America. Modern Icelandic flavours, share plates and award winning cocktails.
