Bautinn Restaurant

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.

Not all restaurants are for folks with food allergies. While this restaurant has GF options listed on the menu, it was the worst to accommodate my allergy among all of the restaurants we visited throughout Iceland. I asked in the beginning of the meal if the waitress was familiar with celiac and we explained gluten was a severe allergy. This was met with a somewhat dismissive response (red flag), but I was assured of the GF options noted on the menu. I ordered the chicken salad and when I bit into something unexpected and asked the waitress what the mystery crunch was, she said it looked like some fried pieces of batter must have accidentally fallen in the salad. While she was quick to replace the salad and was apologetic, I've traveled and eaten out regularly over the years and I've never had such a blatant mistake on the kitchen's part. It ultimately ended in my being sick, still, a week later. There are a lot more options in Akureyri that likely take better care with food and customers than this one.
