Iceland: Kaffihúsið Garðurinn Ecstasy's Heart Garden

Okay, so I have been camping (read: sleeping in my rental car) for the past week. I have been living off of crackers and canned asparagus. I finally got back into Reykjavik and wanted to eat something cooked. I went into this place in the title above. I don't feel like typing it out again cause I am lazy American trash. When I walked in the door the place reeked of hippy incense and crappy yoga music. The lady working the front was obviously in tune with my inner chakra I knew she could feel my energy as I walked in the door. The first thing she said to me was, "Sorry, restroom is for customers only." It's like she delved deep into my soul and sense how hard I had to poop. Well here in lies the challenge. 

I ordered the soup and the dish of the day. She told me both were vegan. This is one of those places that just serves one thing on the menu all day long, and the menu changes everyday. Today I got the Carrot and Spinach soup with the Vegetable casserole. The soup was more of a broth than a soup. It came with a side of bread and hummus. The bread was cold and hard, but good. The hummus was way too garlicky. I dipped the bread in the soup and everything tasted fine.

The main dish was a Morrocan bean and vegetable casserole. It came with a side of couscous and salad. The casserole was okay definitely had some morrocan spices. Wasn't a big fan of it.


Overall I would rate this place a 2 out of 5 plunges.

  2. yeah no one here knows how to do vegan food properly. Looks like a niche that needs to be filled. The hot springs are amazing, I'm gonna post them on my other site LosAngelesSwimmin.com when I get back to the states. When you do get out here check out the Blue Lagoon, it's near the airport and totally worth the money for the soak. If you want some info about other springs I can email you the best ones. I been to fifteen since I been here.

  3. fifteen! definitely. We're hitting the blue lagoon right off the plane. Email would be great, I'll check out your swimming blog, though.
