They have a gluten free pizza. Which was so delicious

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ben

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

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.

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

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.

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!

I'm not into sports but we went there because my husband wanted to have their food. He enjoyed watching sports while we had dinner. We are from the US so he got to watch American football. He enjoyed his burger and fries with a gluten free bun. Also got to enjoy a gluten free beer. I ordered a vegan burger and onion rings, which are also vegan. I was not going to order at first because the vegan burger is grilled with the meat. But then the server asked the chef if he could cook it separately. And they did! I really appreciated that effort. My husband was glad we ate together. I also had their apple cider which was so delicious.

Based inside hotel center midgardu, good restaurant at competitive prices with a varied menu, my husband is gluten free and they altered the meal to accomodate gluten free foods. Staff are attentive and friendly. Nice atmosphere.

Yuliya N

Extremely limited gluten free options. Most restaurants had nothing gluten free. Otherwise, there was one sushi salmon sushi roll that I was told was gluten free, truffle fries, and a few items at the Indian place that could be made gluten free.

Simon Fox

Great food and many gluten free options for coeliac people.

Penny Isolampi

My husband and I went here on a whim. I cannot recommend it enough. The Reykjavik mule was 10/10. We did tapas and had: pan fried perch, potatoes, carrots, butternut risotto, and the seafood soup. Everything was amazing and gluten free. I will be back!

Andrea Chaknis

My partner had the fish and chips, which he said was "okay." I have celiac disease and I don't eat seafood. I asked the young gentleman at the counter if the chicken could be made without bread crumbs and he said, "yes." So I ordered that. When he repeated the order back, I again specified "with no breadcrumbs." That's twice, for those keeping track at home. When the order arrived at my table, the chicken was very breaded. I gently explained to the waitress that I couldn't eat it and I explained what had happened with her colleague at the counter. I was in no way rude. She asked if I wanted to change my order to the only gluten free item on the menu, the arctic char filet. I declined, politely. The gentleman from the counter then came hot into the dining room to refund me cash and started yelling at me that he told me it had breadcrumbs and I should have told him I needed gluten free. I responded that the conversation we had was as I recounted above. He literally YELLED at me, totally creating a scene. I was diagnosed with celiac disease over a decade ago and I have traveled extensively in that time. I have NEVER had a problem before, and I've certainly never been yelled at by an employee in the dining room over a simple misunderstanding. I would suggest that this young man undergo further training before he is allowed to interact with customers. Or perhaps he needs to work on his communication skills.

WARNING Items on menu are marked gluten free, yet are in fact not gluten free. I found out too late and have been in pain since visiting. They did offer to remove the items I ordered from the bill but not sure if they followed through on it as my father in law took the bill. Food was slow and flavours were ok. The atmosphere was nice.

Claudia Tramonte

Magnificent! Reindeer, shark, puffin, whale, lamb, surf'n'turf... a spectacle of quality and quantity! Quiet and relaxed atmosphere Very kind and professional staff GLUTEN-FREE friendly cuisine and we had no problems. Cost proportional to service, quality and Iceland…

Andra Radu

Decent food, good service. Gluten free options
