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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Ari Pearlman

Nice place with gluten free pasta!

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.

Emily Logan

Amazing 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.

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!

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.

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 🤩

Evan Hirsch

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

MaryAlma Collins

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

Carl Falcone

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

Jaspreet

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

Leslie Withall

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

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.

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:)

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.

Jan Illek

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

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.

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

Paola Benchimol

Theo Pay attention with Cross contamination

Emily Logan

Had gluten free pad thai

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!

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.

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!

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.

Silvia Trentin

The food is unreal, so tasty and prepared with so much care. They have gluten free options. Great location and great view from the windows. I love the fact that they don't serve whale meat.

Anna Champ

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.

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.

Nora Meier

Super yummy food, lots of vegan options. Everything can be made gluten free. Nice staff and good quality food, totally worth the money!
