Grapevine’s Best Of 2017: Best Late-Night Bite

Ali Baba
Veltusund 3b
As one panellist put it, “#6 Shawarma wrap never let me down.” Factions are bitterly divided between this place and their next-door neighbour Mandi, leading to impassioned and detailed arguments on the pros and cons of both sides. But this time, Ali Baba won the day with our panel, having satisfied late-night snack binges, pregnancy cravings and splitting hangovers with equal elan. If you still need a reason, try the lamb kofte wrap: it’s to die for. And that smear of spicy red sauce will waken even the most beer-jaded consciousness.

Runners Up

Nonnabiti
Hafnarstræti 9
This used to be a rite-of-passage affair for every young party animal. Even today, Nonni’s rolls with a generous slathering of his own blend of sauces (with a mayonnaise base, of course—Iceland’s perennial favourite) always hits that late-night craving: greasy and a touch salty, but so, so good.

Fish And Chips Truck
By Geirsgata
Fried food and late-night sojourns go together like… well… fish and chips. While munchies can be hard to satisfy on a budget, this food truck means you’re just moments away from perfectly battered fish and chips when you’re drinking downtown. Those HP sauces aren’t just decoration—douse every chip in sight.
