Been there! The soup, bread, and drinks are to die for!

u/tengo_unchained Sep 26 '24

Friðheimar!

Such a memorable place to visit, recognized the picture immediately.

49

u/Fork_My_Shirt_Up Sep 25 '24

Seconded!!! And that isn’t even the main restaurant…

43

u/christinemayb Sep 26 '24

Don't forget it's bottomless soup plus so many kinds of bread! A major highlight of our trip to Iceland

26

u/homeycuz Sep 26 '24

Plus, fresh basil by way of a plant and pair of scissors right on your table.

15

u/christinemayb Sep 26 '24

Almost too adorable to be real life

12

u/ForesakenFemale Sep 26 '24

Everything here was great except the dessert served in a terra cotta pot LoL it just tasted like clay.

The bread was amazing and the totally-not-ponies were cool too.

u/CharlesKBarkley Sep 26 '24

Cheesecake with green tomato jam. This was my favorite!

10

u/EC_soclearly Sep 26 '24

Soup and bread were amazing. Really regret not trying the tomato beer

11

u/davr2x Sep 26 '24

Had the beer, regret not getting the soup haha

4

u/FlirtyFluffyFox Sep 26 '24

Soup and there is amazing! Also taught us about those neat scissors!

u/j_husk Sep 26 '24

Does it smell great? I bet it smells great.

Can you remember if the building in the last photo has a roof and if it does why?

This is original content, shot in Iceland

u/GitchigumiMiguel74 Sep 25 '24

I would like to move to Iceland now

28

u/KYHotBrownHotCock Sep 25 '24

its warm there right?

46

u/JohanGrimm Sep 25 '24

Some spots are really warm!

13

u/jeanleonino Sep 26 '24

Usually they have 30+ letters and you will hear about them when they get hot

u/zydecocaine Sep 25 '24

From what I hear Greenland is in fact reddish and Iceland is actually soup.

1

u/heimeyer72 Sep 26 '24

I think Greenland is the cold one while Iceland is the relatively warm one (still loses majorly against South Africa).

4

u/Numeno230n Sep 25 '24

Nah try Greenland.

5

u/janobe Sep 26 '24

Greenland is covered in ice, and Iceland is very nice!

These buildings/homes inside of greenhouses in Nordic places are just divine. It's a perfect combination of whimsical and practical.

27

u/Time_To_Rebuild Sep 26 '24

‘Natural house’ or ‘nature house’ is the translation. Most popular in Finland, Sweden, Denmark. I just started down this rabbit hole about a week ago. It’s brilliant.

u/ealker Sep 26 '24

How are they in Winter?

68

u/Galoptious Sep 25 '24

Visually beautiful. The thought of those books in a bright and humid greenhouse, not so much.

19

u/soulsizzle Sep 26 '24

Those books look like they were purchased already glued together.

9

u/Nexidious Sep 26 '24

That was my first thought. I already obsessively protect my books from unnecessary UV and humidity damage.

9

u/caynemorgan Sep 26 '24

This was my first reaction as well. It almost made my stomach turn.

u/youcantexterminateme Sep 26 '24

might be the only sunny day of the year

u/aoife_too Sep 25 '24

I loved that place!! It was so neat!

u/SwedishSaunaSwish Sep 26 '24

I just know it smelled amazing!

It’s called Friðheimar. Every item on the menu involves tomatoes. It’s my worst nightmare.

14

u/miasthmatic Sep 25 '24

Oooh, my dream!

6

u/ormr_inn_langi Sep 25 '24

My food dream would be a place like that but with everything ginger instead of tomato

8

u/miasthmatic Sep 25 '24

I'd love both! Looking at you, Indian cuisine.

5

u/ormr_inn_langi Sep 25 '24 edited Sep 26 '24

Oh hell yeah, Indian food is dope

3

u/CharlesKBarkley Sep 26 '24

That sounds divine

2

u/heimeyer72 Sep 26 '24

I LOL'd! Are you allergic? I mean, OK, tomato plants are solanum plants and therefore (theoretically) poisonous, but tomatoes are not. I only hate the commercial "tomato juice" because they put way too much salt into that stuff, making it nearly inedible for me.

10

u/reddituculous66 Sep 25 '24

I woule.never leave

10

u/Bepothul Sep 26 '24

I’m alone in bed scrolling in the dark and audibly said “now THAT’S what I’m talking about!” To no one. 👏

u/IronAndParsnip Sep 25 '24

Woahhh this is dreamyyy

5

u/SoUnProfessional Sep 25 '24

Very cool, is that a grape vine growing indoors?

5

u/Tiny-Sun-217 Sep 25 '24

God I want to live here.

7

u/TriangleTransplant Sep 26 '24

This one greenhouse produces something like 70% of the tomatoes in the country, according to an infographic in their lobby.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '24

gosh.

4

u/EmpressEverything Sep 25 '24

That looks amazing!

3

u/sunshineandzen Sep 26 '24

That bread with the olives is fucking fantastic. Still have dreams about the tomato soup and bread

3

u/grumpyelf4 Sep 26 '24

It is beautiful. Books, greenhouse, sunlight. I would never want to leave this place.

2

u/CheeeeeseGromit Sep 26 '24

We went last year, it really is that amazing in person

2

u/SeattleHasDied Sep 26 '24

I haven't been back to Iceland since before Covid, usually go for the Airwaves festival. This place looks like it needs to go on my "Don't Miss" list when I go back. This absolutely qualifies as a cozy place!

u/RogerRavvit88 Sep 26 '24

Looks like a bunch of encyclopedias. Weird that there would be so many large form multi volume books bound in that appearance at a bar. Makes me think they went to books by the foot or something.

2

u/EuroTrash1999 Sep 26 '24

I don't understand book bars.

I have never ever drank a couple pints and a few shots and been like, man I really want to read a book!

LETS READ UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '24

They're props to make the clientele feel intellectual

2

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '24

Kinda dumb to leave books out in direct sunlight, eh?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '24

100% humidity 24 hours a day. Pages will have mold spots in no time

2

u/iamfunny90s Sep 26 '24

They're just decorative and if they get all dingy they probably replace them.

1

u/GritCato Sep 25 '24

What about, what about rain? And ice? And snow?

1

u/muse_me123 Sep 25 '24

So cute!

1

u/ormr_inn_langi Sep 25 '24

Would be a lovely place if it weren’t for the bloody tomatoes.

1

u/IrieSunshine Sep 25 '24

Tomato farm? That’s my dream lol. Fresh tomatoes are heavenly.

1

u/little_miss_beachy Sep 25 '24

That is the coolest dining room ever! What's for lunch?

u/AzU2lover Sep 26 '24

Wow!

1

u/Nellasofdoriath Sep 26 '24

Do they have tp grow the tomatoes in greenhouses in Iceland?

4

u/hjaltigr Sep 26 '24

Pretty much anything grown above ground that is not barley is grown in greenhouses here. One of the reasons for our extreme importation of fruits and vegetables.

You can however grow some types of berries in a cultivated yard but not out in the open.

u/laynesdirection Sep 26 '24

Beautiful ❤️

u/Expert_Marsupial_235 Sep 26 '24

Damn, that’s a vibe. It’s beautiful.

Its AI, I can tell b the pixels

1

u/InnocenceProvesNothg Sep 26 '24

I think this is beautiful, but as a book nut, the UV in this room will destroy those books if left there for too long.

u/AceShipDriver Sep 26 '24

I love tomatoes!

u/sonic10158 Sep 26 '24

I think I’ve built this jigsaw puzzle before!

Iceland has been creating AI photos since the dawn of civilization.

Looks like the greenhouses in Hogwarts Legacy

I've got Baldur's Gate 3 on the mind, but this is so much the vibe of Jaheira's office!

u/doug7250 Sep 26 '24

I’ve been to one like this in Iceland. Personally, I thought the tomatoes were awful.
