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.

The food at this restaurant was truly delicious and layered in flavors. Each ingredient was cooked perfectly and the sauces on my cod were delightful. There are lots of vegan and gluten free options across the menu, they are clearly labeled as well. I highly recommend this lovely spot.

Not taking into account my mom’s soup, best soup I’ve ever had! You would think it’s pricy but the soup tastes delicious, fresh , rich of ingredients and you have a second serving!! The owner is so welcoming! Extra ( also gluten free option)

Stephanie Dasilva

My first time trying fish and chips because of gluten allergy. I appreciate that this business has a gluten free menu. DELICIOUS!

Very good cuisine😁, the dishes are neat and the taste is really there. The waitresses are kind to explain to us based on a dietary restriction. Quite expensive for a dish with 6 potatoes. The menu is quite short in choice and that's good because the fewer there are, the better the dish. The desserts all look delicious but very few are gluten-free.

Chantal Real

Gluten-free options.

Carlos De Sola

4 of us went to eat. They have GLUTEN FREE options!!! Two very friendly young guys attended to us. Very good price quality. Reserve some space for desserts: delicious milkshakes, ice cream. Highly recommended.

Lovely, home-feel atmosphere with set vegetarian set lunches. A local place with hardly any tourists, which gives an authentic ambiance. Some gluten-free cakes and meal options. Small and cozy. But pricey... like anything in Iceland

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!

So finished a great break to Iceland with a return 3 years since we were last here. The Apotek restaurant doesn’t disappoint, the food was…and this in my mind a measure of how great it was, the best meal to finish off a great holiday. Service was great from the start, the waitress Helena (a fellow Brit), was superb in her attentiveness was superb, great conversation and an asset to the restaurant. Anyhow, they cater for coeliacs and can easily provide gluten free food options. Trust me you won’t be disappointed, well I hope note. Try it and I hope you have an equally high quality culinary experience. When we return, dare I say it, it’ll be a return all being well.

Definitely my favorite restaurant of our 10 day trip! The Mama Curry, Dal, and Naan were all delicious. Most dishes can also be made gluten-free, just not the naan. Kombucha on tap as well :)

Russell Montgomery

A lovely experience. We had a birthday on this trip and they had the perfect patisserie for her 'Birthday cake'. We were so pleased with our selection and that there were multiple gluten-free options.

Laura Koolen

Good food and good service. We had a normal pizza and gluten free pizza and they were both very tasty. Recommended!

David Nolan

This pizzeria alone would make us stay another night in Egilsstaðir. Properly outstanding pizza and my girlfriend got the gluten free base and tastes just like a regular base, which is very hard come by. Forgot to take pictures but there wasn’t even crumbs left on my plate!! Only suggestion I’d have is some extra choice in sides but can’t take stars away for that.

Leslie Withall

The lobster soup is gluten free, vegan and DELICIOUS!!!

Elena Dowin Kennedy

This might have been the best meal we had in Iceland. The chicken skewer was unexpectedly elevated as were the fish and chips. I am a celiac and when I asked about gluten free items they clarified whether it was an intolerance or celiac and told me what I could eat as designed or what modifications they could make. Their fries are even cooked in a dedicated fryer.

Claudia Tramonte

We entered cold and tired, we left reinvigorated and extremely full. As a gluten-free option we could take the scampi and cream soup (good) and all the main dishes, i.e. the fish pans, absolutely great: generous portions and WOW flavours. Informal but refined environment Precise and kind service Costs in line with the city

Yuliya N

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

Leire Allende Elordui

The very cozy place. We went at the beginning and end of our trip and ordered the same thing, the burger with the Icelandic pancake, very very good. I asked for gluten-free bread and they adapted it to me without a problem. They also told us that the lobster dog is great.

Patrizia Vogt

The gluten-free brownie is fart-dry! Every Suoermarkt mix is ​​better! The vegan carrot cake was ok, but not a hit and at 10 euros it was simply too expensive! There are definitely better coffees in Reykjvik!

Natalie Greig

The service here was amazing! Abdul couldn't of been more welcoming. Lovely gluten free food - the marinated chicken was delicious

Adriana DV

Great juices, but not suitable sandwiches for gluten free intolerants and coeliacs ! They couldnt grill the bread with paper that would secure no cross contamination, as I did experienced in Denmark.

Paul Ambrozewicz

The food here was great, the char was amazing. The service was wonderful and helpful. The menu also stated which items could be gluten free.

Paola Benchimol

Theo Pay attention with Cross contamination

Jhonathan Ibañez

You have to come here. You Have To Come Here. YOU HAVE TO COME HERE! They have one of the best (if not the best) fish soups I have had in my life❤️❤️❤️ If you’re celiac, they have specially prepared lamb or tomato soups. You can have as many lamb or tomato refills as you want. Their service is super friendly. Prices are more than fair for Icelandic average. And, there were FREE Waffles?!! I would give 6 stars if I could 🤩

Alvaro

Gluten free pizza available

Loreen Blumenthal

Lovely location for a restaurant and the views from the tables are wonderful! We watched the sheep 🐑 play and feed all through our meal. My Artic Char was delicious and my husbands burger good but not exceptional. I was disappointed with their very limited Gluten Free options given most restaurants throughout Iceland have had several choices.

Lauren Johnston

Gluten free friendly! It's a lovely restaurant and it's great being able to watch the cows whilst having your meal. The burgers are amazing and they do gluten free bread for the burgers! The ice cream is a must and is by far the best ice cream we have had! Highly recommended!

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!

MaryAlma Collins

The best restaurant meal I’ve had in Iceland and mostly gluten free. Takk fyrir!!!

Janina Pohja

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.

Jessica Allossery

A really great spot to stop when travelling through to vik from jokusarlon. We came in for dinner and I was especially impressed with the cod risotto. It hit the spot - I’d give it 6 out of 5 stars! My husband said the pizza was alright, probably 4 stars out of 5. Nicely poured gull beer on tap. I appreciated the dietary restrictions clearly marked on the menu - a few Gluten Free, lactose free and vegan options to choose from. All in all, a great stop with excellent service.

Scott Richey-Stavrand

Had some of the best fries in Iceland and a great gluten free pizza. The pizza is large enough for two to share and have some left over. Very nice outside seating area and larger portions than typical in Iceland.

Ania

We stopped here to grab lunch before going in the Blue Lagoon. While the place is spacious, pretty and comfortable, staff friendly and food tasty, it was ultimately not a good choice. The pace was truly glacial - not sure if it's due to the server, the kitchen, or the restaurant being understaffed, but we spent over an hour for what was meant as a quick bite. Our order included fish of the day, beef, and mashroon soup. Again, the food was very good, but simply not worth the wait. There was gluten free bread and gf options on the menu available. They also have kids menu with kids-only dishes.

Ari Pearlman

Nice place with gluten free pasta!

Mickaël Loiseau

After the road, just such a little break. The yellow house attracts my curiosity, the place and the service are impeccable, the owners are super nice and helped me to eat gluten-free and a little extra because they know how to speak a little French. Even the pastries are gluten free or vegan. P8The dishes are delicious😋, we can only give five stars to congratulate such an establishment! A very pleasant place, very comfortable, not noisy! They have a large interior on 2 floors and a beautiful terrace! Stop for a break 😁😁

Ela G.

Great food, great service! Many vegetarian and even gluten free options:) it's located in a food hall, so in the evenings (especially on weekends) it may not be easy to find a place to seat. It was super nice during lunch time tho:)

Emily Logan

Amazing gluten free options!

Kiah Triat

Lovely smiling friendly service. There were three gluten free cakes to choose from - yum. Beautiful cosy atmosphere right next to the kids playground.

Emma Steel

Ate dinner here a few times during our stay in Reykjavik, lovely food and service. Pizza's we're offered on Gluten Free bases, safely ate here as a Coeliac.

Aaron Avery

Wonderful service! Fresh local food with some gluten free options.

Marc-André Pelletier

One of the best restaurants in Reykjavik. The cod is very tasty. Great mix of tastes for the senses. The only negative thing is I think the portion are a tiny bit small. The chef can adapt meals to be gluten free.

emily

Such an incredible experience and a must do experience when visiting Iceland! Very unique with the restaurant being in the greenhouse but it’s not when to miss. The unlimited fresh tomato soup was delightful but to my amazement they had gluten free bread! Absolutely 10/10

Wanda Darren

Nice place they have gluten-free options but obviously can not guarantee cross contamination, but they do try and make an effort. Food was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Larse Claessens

Gluten-free available! Very good!

Carl Falcone

Great food and service. My son is gluten free and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Nicole de Bekker

Best cappuccino we’ve had during our trip in Iceland! The homemade almond-lemon-pear-cake (gluten free) and apple pie were lovely. We extended our visit with the soup of the day: coconut-Christmas spices. Very tasty! They have great service for individuals as well as large groups.
