Meal of the day was delicious spinach lasagne served with carrots and salad, the service was very friendly and the food wasn't too expensive (for Iceland). I bought a few vegan brownies for dessert and they were so good, my meat-and dairy-eating family even said they were the best brownies they'd ever tasted. I highly recommend Garðurinn if you're looking for a good, healthy lunch!

We ate soup, main course and amazing desserts . The service was great . They welcomed as with a big smile .
If you keep the shabbes you can pay in advance and come eat your meal when you want.
We sat there for two hours and enjoyed every second of it.

Small, friendly cafe serving vegetarian meals. We sampled the homemade soup which was delicious and was served with homemade bread and hoummus.

My husband and I both had the soup and main combo, which was delicious. The soup came with bread and hummus for vegans, as opposed to dairy, and we had a curry for the main. The cafe is small but a really nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful. They only have one soup and one main choice per day, and when I looked at that weeks full menu there was only one day that the main was not vegan friendly - the soup was so you could be sure you were always getting something. Maybe worth a check online to make sure if you were set on getting a main before you go... Prices were reasonable, but the best bit were the home made vegan cakes we bought to eat later on - delicious!
