It's some of the best gluten free pizza I've had. We loved it and should have ordered a pizza to go. Husband got the black crust pizza, and he loved his as well. It was very busy but moved pretty quickly. Bathrooms were clean. Parking lot fills up. I would HIGHLY suggest stopping here.

After a long walk and exhausted by the biting wind of Reykjavik in December, we went to a small place called Reykjavik chips of which I had already read reviews in the preparatory phase of the trip and which I had asked if they served gluten free meals through an E-Mail. The place is small and not particularly furnished but it is warm and the scent as soon as you enter is inviting. At the average cost of 2500 isk, around 15 euros or a little more, they serve excellent burgers more or less stuffed with a side of french fries (classic or sweet) depending on your taste, also offering the option of a fish burger, or at the same price it is also possible to order a plate of fish and chips...Delicious and strictly Icelandic fish, just as good and tasty is the hamburger meat which has nothing to do with that of famous fast food chains...The crispy chips are good and salted to the right amount and included in a complete menu you will have a sauce to choose from among the many that the restaurant serves. Good lunch and fair price for Iceland. For children you will also find chicken nuggets. Advised.

BEST FISH AND CHIPS IVE EVER HAD!!!!!! I’m gluten free so I haven’t had much but this was AMAZING!!! And the fries were amazing even without sauce. The service was also amazing. We even got a great recommendation for an ice cream place that sometimes has gluten free cones (they didn’t this time but it was still great) and got talked into trying the shark meat. Even though it was rainy and cold, there’s a good atmosphere around the truck.

As someone with Celiac Disease, eating in restaurants while travelling can be tricky. Reykjavik Kitchen was exceptional in every definition of the word. Not only was the service great, the meal (beef tenderloin) was mouth watering. The menu is clearly indicated GF where applicable and they had many options. I plan on coming back here several times as they have a few other traditional items I would like to try, such as lamb and meat soup. And they had GF bread with the delicious butter.

Himalayan Spice is cozy and inviting with some of the best food and best service I've had in town. As a local, it's expensive to eat out so we when we do, we pick places where we know the food is fresh and delicious and where we will be well taken care of. That's why my group of friends all chose Himalayan Spice to have a dinner to kick off the holiday season. The momo (house made dumplings) are always popular as a starter or a main course. This time I had chicken tika curry and it was as warm and rich as I had hoped it would be -- perfect for a wintry night! We have a friend who is extremely sensitive to gluten and one nice thing is that she never has to worry when eating here -- you can let your server know about any food allergies or intolerances and they will take good care of you. Highly recommend -- note there is an upstairs with good space to make big tables so larger groups are no problem. Be sure to book in advance!

We had an amazing experience. It’s been the best restaurant that we have tried until now in Iceland: amazing food with wide variety, gluten free options, very nice service and a beautiful place too. Plus, affordable prices. Couldn’t ask for more!

For anyone traveling with dietary restrictions - you have to go here! Second trip to Iceland and second trip to Tapas barinn. We took this trip with a different group of friends than our first trip and this was one of our only requirements as to where to eat and it did not disappoint anyone (and we set high expectations for this place). Most important thing for me was how amazing they handled my dietary restriction. I have celiac disease which can make eating out very difficult and I had absolutely no problems and did not feel like I was left out of any part of the dining experience and for those that have dietary restrictions, you know how this is very common. I didn't get sick at all, I was take very seriously, and they explained the protocols they would take. Every time they dropped of a plate they would say "gluten free tapas" so I knew they were handing me the right plate, enough to let me know but not over the top to make me feel uncomfortable. I had the chef's experience (last time I had the Taste of Iceland) along with my husband (who does not have a dietary restriction) and the changes they made to some tapas for me were no big deal at all, we both equally enjoyed our meals. Also, highly recommend the Taste of Iceland experience for first timers but the chef's experience was equally amazing, just think the Taste of Iceland is something everyone should try at least once. The overall atmosphere was amazing, staff could not have been friendly or more knowledgable of the menu. It is slightly pricey but 100% worth it. We did this as our "fancy" date night and we could not have asked for a better experience. Again, must go for anyone with a dietary restriction!

Pizzas are not worth the money. We had both normal and gluten-free based pizzas. Spice Girls had potential, but the base just didn't taste at all. Also the extra fee for gluten-free base is a rip-off, probably a basic frozen base. I don't like to say it, but you might be happier just grabbing a hot dog with all toppings.

If you get the chance to visit this tomato, please do. Absolutely gorgeous greenhouses, lunch served right inside among the plants. Staff was kind enough to give a tour. Gluten free bread available with the soup but is not guaranteed to be free from contamination, so they do offer a very filling salad as an alternative. One of the best lunches I've ever had, such a unique experience.

Lovely food, very fresh and tasty. I advised I was gluten free and they talked through the menu which was also labelled. Provided some great gluten free bread when they brought over the bread basket for everyone else which I really appreciated. One of our party tried it and said they preferred it to the regular bread (which was also apparently really good). I would definitely return here when I next visit Reykjavik.

We loved our food and experience here! The vibe was very relaxed but felt upscale. Delicious dishes and great gluten free options.
