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.

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.

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.

Leslie Withall

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

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

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.

Paola Benchimol

Theo Pay attention with Cross contamination

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 🤩

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!

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

Emily Logan

Amazing gluten free options!

Ari Pearlman

Nice place with gluten free pasta!

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:)

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.

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.

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.

Carl Falcone

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

slick est

The service and food were excellent. My girlfriend has celiac. The service and kitchen were very sensitive and knowledgeable of the condition. The wine pairing was fantastic. Don't be thrown off by the name: Monkey's is a fantastic dining experience in Reykjavik. We're very happy we came here.

Ariadna Vallverdú

We recently had lunch at this restaurant located in a food court in Iceland, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. We ordered a burger and lamb. Although they didn’t have gluten-free buns available, they were accommodating and made adjustments to the burger, which I appreciated. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The service was efficient, with a distinct fast-food vibe, though the quality was noticeably higher. You order at the counter, receive a device, and then pick up your food when it's ready. It’s a convenient system, especially in a food court setting. Overall, everything was good, and I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a quick yet satisfying meal.

Evan Hirsch

Dairy free chai, gluten free carrot cake (though not dairy free), and funny barista. Yum!

Marco Meier

We ordered GLUTEN FREE MEALS and one meal was NOT GLUTENFREE (looks like you guys just added Seitan). Now my girlfriend is sick as a dog during our vacation! If you don't know what glutenfree means as a vegan restaurant, you have a problem. This is dangerous!!

Courtney Yotter

I came for dinner based on a recommendation that they could accommodate gluten allergy/celiac on the chefs tasting menu (which I put in my reservation comments). When I arrived I felt they were knowledgeable about gluten allergies but not clear on what they would need to replace or change. They had items that were celiac friendly on the menu which was great, and I chose a spicy tuna roll. It was... Fine. For $52 I would have expected it to blow me away and i was pretty disappointed. My drink was fantastic.

Hydrawlysis

The staff was so friendly! I heard the barista talk to the customers before me about great cafes and restaurants for vegan and gluten free diets, which I think is really nice. The cafe was very aesthetic too with lots of seating and in the middle of the main street in Reykjavik. I got the iced matcha latte and it was honestly one of the best matcha lattes I've had. Definitely will go again!

Jaclyn W

We stopped here for a quick bite on the way to see music at Harpa. The tacos were delicious! Gluten free and dairy free friendly!

Abby Hangyas

My husband and I will go on record to say this cafe has the BEST Hot Chocolate we've ever had, in any country, ever! I am gluten free and there were many food options to enjoy as well - the almond pastry and gf bread with butter, ham and cheese were fantastic. My husband really enjoys the waffles. Already have another trip to Iceland planned and this stop is one of the first on the list!

Myne S

Nice restaurant! The server was really helpful and nice. There were lots of gluten-free options, also for celiacs. The hot chocolate was not really my cup of tea but that could be because it’s just different in my country. All the food tasted amazing though. The restaurant was clean except for the toilets.

emily

ABSOLUTELY EAT HERE! It was that amazing we are here twice! The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond! Nothing was too much trouble! The first night we went for a beef steak and then the next night we went for a variety of beef steaks, burgers along with whale and horse steaks! All the food was AMAZING and the best steak that I have ever had! I also have a gluten allergy and the staff were knowledgeable around what could be eaten and there were loads of options! We also celebrated my mums birthday here and the staff definitely added to the celebrations to make special memories.

Ben

Very friendly service. Had 1 meal I could have that was gluten free and vegan. Not cheap for what it was.

Kimberly Wilpon

If you are celiac or have a gluten sensitivity, I’d highly recommend this restaurant for you. The staff was so knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to create most things on the menu gluten free. They brought out fresh bread that was gluten free with an olive tapenade. The lamb was delicious. But the star was the coconut crème brûlée with passion fruit ice cream.

Jaspreet

Amazing food - highly recommend - plenty of vegan and gluten free options - perfect

Marie Woodard

Ashton Dahle

The food was amazing. We both got fish and it was the best we have ever had. They accommodated my gluten allergy and the service was great.

Jan Illek

Nice food, even gluten free. Really nice staff a knows about the alergens.

Meredith Alfred

We had so much fun here! My wife and I are visiting Iceland for our honeymoon and had to stop here as we were missing our kitty cats back home. The cats at this cafe are clearly well-loved and we had a great time getting to spend time with them. The beverages were good and so were the pastries. I had a delicious vegan and gluten-free raspberry cake that I will be dreaming about for days to come! The space is small so I would not recommend bringing a group larger than 4. They even sell some merchandise such as shirts, stickers, and artwork! We will be back next time we are in Iceland!

Emily Logan

Had gluten free pad thai

Michael Kriegal

Best meal in Iceland. The lamb was probably the best lamb I’ve ever had. Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Partner has a gluten intolerance and they helped us navigate the menu and were great with substitutions. Highly recommend!

Pirjo Krabye

Lovely food, at breakfast a separate table with food and toaster for people with celiac disease. Had a room on the 12th floor facing west and sunset. Fantastic view! Fridge, kettle with accessories, slippers and dressing gown. Lots of cupboard space. In the large bathroom, both a shower cubicle and bathtub and organic small items. The room is only cleaned on request the day before. The only negative was the slightly long walking distance to the center for those with leg problems.

Ashley Bernal

Stopped here during the Reykjavik Geopark tour. The soups are good (and gluten free) with one refill. This is a very expensive restaurant in comparison to ones in Reykjavik. The soup and coffee is self serve which is very convenient. The service is very fast for anything else that is ordered. All in all, a good experience, just unusually expensive.

Imola Tóth (Mollie)

I came here twice because the food was so delicious! Both times I ordered the gluten free option (arctic char with potatoes) and ordered extra fries and sauce. I found it a bit hard to find good gluten free food in Reykyavik but this place never disappoints. The shop is cute, and staff is friendly and helpful with the gf options. Don't come in lunch and dinner time cos it's packed but any other time it was easy to grab a table.
