We had lunch here with a table for 8, although they served us in English, they explained everything to us very well. And the food was very good and in good quantities, it is quite expensive but we knew this when we arrived in Iceland. They didn't have gluten-free bread, but they did offer us a gluten-free dish that was very tasty and a good quantity for two celiacs who were going. Recommended place and excellent service.

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!

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 shop was a little disappointing as it is quite small and has limited merchandise. However, I bought my favourite Hard Rock Café t-shirt yet. I buy one whenever I visit a country with a HRC. The staff were very friendly. We didn't have a meal, much as I would have loved to, as I am Coeliac and, although some of the food is gluten free, the chips aren't as they don't have a separate fryer. I wasn't terribly reassured that the concept of cross contamination was understood, so I decided not to risk it. If you are just gluten intolerant you would probably be okay. If you are Coeliac it's up to you whether you want to take the risk of possibly ruining your holiday if you were glutened.

The food was amazing and the service was top class. My group had a person with celiac and the staff was really careful to make sure her food was ok for her.
