Kaffihúsið Garðurinn

Full of good intentions....but getting off to a very slow start here!
I have been thinking about "reviewing" the places I go for coffee, in a very haphazard sort of way. I am not a professional foodie but I do like good coffee and I love good food.
My intended first entry was for a small coffee place which I went to earlier in the month but I had no time then to write anything about it so it will have to wait until I go there again (I did say this would be haphazard!).
This week, on Wednesday, I went to Kaffihúsið Garðurinn which is also called Ecstasy's Heart Garden. This is a small vegetarian place at Klapparstígur 37 in central Reykjavík. They post a menu for the week in the window and offer a soup of the day and a dish of the day.
When I went there the soup was "Old fashioned lentil soup" and dish of the day was "Persian ratatouille of fruit and vegetables".
The soup came with two slices of home-made bread and a choice of butter or hummus. The soup was delicious, as was the hummus. The hummus tasted of lemon but I have had it before when sesame was the main flavour.
Dish of the day was lovely too. Crisp salad, chickpeas with wilted spinach, and the promised "ratatouille" which included potato, tomato, onion, and dried apricots, seasoned with cinnamon and other spices.
I chose to buy soup with a small, or half portion of the dish of the day. This cost 1350kr and was very filling. So filling that when my husband suggested coffee and cake I had to decline the cake! The cappuccino was very good (320kr), lots of flavour, hot, and not too much froth. My husband had a small slice of a caramel cake too and seemed very happy with that.
The place is small and a place to go, eat, and leave. There are about 7 tables so it probably seats 15-20 people. The walls are painted blue and stencilled. Door chimes ring nicely. the service is friendly and good, with dirty dishes cleared away and the next lot of food arriving just when it should. I was not overly fond of the music (sounded like relaxing yoga-type to me) but it was not loud so didn't bother me either.
Verdict: a good place to eat if you like vegetarian food, or are on a budget, or just like home-cooked food that makes you feel good.
