When we first decided to come here, we were kind of joking. Who on earth would want an entire meal made of tomatoes? Tomato ice cream? Tomato cheesecake? Weird! As we looked into it further, we realized it was very highly rated, and there must be something about the place we just weren’t realizing yet.

When the day came for our reservation, we were greeted by all of the kindest people, seated at an adorable table, and our waiter gave us an entire history of the place.

I went for the bottomless tomato soup and bread and a Bloody Mary. My sister got the pasta. I’ll start with the negative first. Worst Bloody Mary of my life. Maybe it’s just because we do them so differently here in Wisconsin, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting. I wish that someone had told me that there was a Bloody Mary station over by the bar where you could add in your spices, as that probably would have helped tremendously, but no one told me.

The soup, however, was delicious, and each table has its own basil plant that you can pick from and add fresh basil to your soup. The real winner though…the bread. Oh wow, the bread!! More kinds of bread than I’ve ever seen in one place in my life…kinds I haven’t even heard of. They give you this cucumber salsa to put on the bread, which was incredible.

Finally, we had to try the tomato cheesecake. Also phenomenal, and it comes in a cute little flower pot. You also get to go up to the bar and help yourself to coffee with your dessert.

Then we sat at our table for ages. Everyone had stopped coming to our table and were ignoring us. Finally we had to ask someone how we pay for our meal, and that was when we learned that nobody brings a bill to your table in Iceland. We didn’t know. I wish someone would have explained this part too. We finally figured it out and then walked around the greenhouse enjoying the plants and the bees. A wonderful experience overall!
