Moving back home

I have a small life update for y'all today.
This week, me and Jenni are moving back home to save up to buy our own place. This is done out of necessity as the rental prices in Reykjavik have skyrocketed in the past years and is not a viable option for us at the moment.
It will be different living back home, I give you that but hopefully it will only be for a few months :)



I am really looking forward to decorating and making the new place our own! I have been following interior blogs for years and I have so many ideas. First and foremost, I want a cozy home where we can have people over for dinner or brunch in the weekends and that is our home :)

Over and out

Brunch in Reykjavik - Vegamot

I love brunch. I look forward to waking up in the weekends so I can have brunch.
Today, the plan was to go to Snaps which is supposed to be really good and I really wanted to have their pancakes but I didn't realize that so did everyone else so they didn't have a table for us when we got there at 11:32 (the place opens at 11:30). Mental note, reserve a table next time!
So off we went..to Vegamot which we have eaten at many times before but we've never been there for brunch.
I have to say, we were very disappointed. We got what we usually get when you can order a selection of food, the biggest selection they have and then an extra plate of pancakes.
This was so not worth it. The extra plate of pancakes which was 1000 ISK consisted of two very thin pancakes which we immediately gobbled down.
The menu claimed that the selection had freshly baked bread; the bread we got was not freshly baked at all and consisted of two small baguette slices.
The eggs were cold, the bacon was way too crumbly, they probably bought some bacon sprinkles and put that on the plate.
The fruit that came with the plate was some pieces of melon and apples and two blueberries. For this plus two coffees we paid 5000 ISK. We were hungry again an hour later.

Overall, the place needs to pull it's shit together because I will not recommend this place to anyone after this experience. I sincerely hope someone at Vegamot will see this and do something about this because this was a joke.
