Guidebook for Garðabær
Food Scene
Amazing restaurant in a beautiful old house with grass roof that serves delicious small plates (they are quite big though and 2 plates are usually enough for 1 person). Not so expensive compared to many other restaurants in Iceland if you only have 2 plates but not cheap though.
