We didn't get got a lot of fourth dimension on our concluding hateful solar daytime inward Reykjavik - but plenty for a quick trip upwards Hallgrímskirkja (see photos below) together with a belatedly breakfast earlier nosotros had to restrain on the airdrome autobus together with wing off this weird footling chunk of volcanic rock. We breakfasted at The Laundromat Cafe (another of Marieke's many helpful suggestions), amongst a mix of hungover locals together with bright-eyed tourists.
The weekend card has a adept release of vegetarian dishes (and acre volition create a adept vegan spread if you lot inquire them). I was hungry plenty to larn for the large one, the build clean brunch - scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, grilled tomato, Stori Dimon cheese, chocolate butter, Greek yoghurt with muesli, American pancakes together with fruit, served with rye breadstuff together with a little drinking glass of mango/ginger wellness drinkable (2290kr AU$17.80).
I must acknowledge that reading that description had me imagining a platter of nutrient well-nigh every bit large every bit the table, then the artfully arranged plate of goodies seemed a flake on the little side. Also, at that topographic point was no chocolate butter! Outrageous. Still, this is a pretty dandy spread - a adept mix of sweetness together with savoury that leaves you lot sum together with feeling vaguely virtuous (especially without the chocolate butter!).
My 'health drink' was basically a little juice - it didn't create every bit much every bit the java I ordered to brand me experience salubrious though. Cindy went for a bigger drink, a raspberry smoothie (800kr AU$6), which was every bit adept every bit all the Nordic dairy products nosotros sampled.
She had a to a greater extent than little breakfast though, settling for a serve of the pancakes (790kr AU$6.15).
This was a pretty unproblematic breakfast - 5 thickish pancakes with a smear of butter together with a pot of maple syrup. They were null similar pancakes really, but withal served every bit a decent vessel for syrup. H5N1 few berries or something would get got kicked this upwards a notch.
The Laundromat is a large together with bustling cafe correct inward the middle of Reykjavik. The prices aren't also ridiculous together with the card offers veg-friendly breakfasts, lunches together with burgers. Service is friendly together with pretty efficient - it's definitely worth checking out. They also render an actual laundromat downstairs somewhere, which powerfulness come upwards inward handy if you're non staying inward an storey similar nosotros were.
