As someone with Celiac Disease, eating in restaurants while travelling can be tricky. Reykjavik Kitchen was exceptional in every definition of the word. Not only was the service great, the meal (beef tenderloin) was mouth watering. The menu is clearly indicated GF where applicable and they had many options. I plan on coming back here several times as they have a few other traditional items I would like to try, such as lamb and meat soup. And they had GF bread with the delicious butter.
BEST FISH AND CHIPS IVE EVER HAD!!!!!!
I’m gluten free so I haven’t had much but this was AMAZING!!! And the fries were amazing even without sauce. The service was also amazing. We even got a great recommendation for an ice cream place that sometimes has gluten free cones (they didn’t this time but it was still great) and got talked into trying the shark meat. Even though it was rainy and cold, there’s a good atmosphere around the truck.

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.
It was very busy and there were only about 6 tables.
Ordered a large milkshake to share and two burgers with fries. Our food was delivered, and our milkshake was forgotten. I went up to the counter, and the man asked what we had again. I said large chocolate, but when it he made it, he made a small. The table next to us said this is the large. I didn't feel like going back up there as my food was getting cold. The gluten free bun was good.
It was good, just disappointing.
Five stars across the board! Food was incredible, staff was delightful, and the kitchen was so accommodating for my dairy and gluten allergies. Had the lamb tartare, the arctic char, and the roast potatoes with chimmichuri. Honestly, wish I would have eaten dinner here also because it was so good.
Strongly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a fabulous bite to eat in a very nice environment.
SO GOOD.
The Lobster Soup is a MUST TRY in Iceland. It’s celiac friendly and lactose free.
Good chunks of tender, melt in your mouth lobster. I will be dreaming of this soup for the rest of my life.
My mom had the shrimp skewer with sweet chili dip & potatoes which were also 10/10.
The chef was very accommodating and told me that almost everything on the menu could be made GF. I ordered the steak it was great and cooked to perfection. They cook my steak on a separate area and made sure to change gloves. The person taking my order wasn't sure about GF options but immediately went to ask the chef.
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
I am a symptomatic celiac and they were able to make potatoes in lieu of fries and served one of the best burgers I've had in a long time on a GF bun. My husband had a normal reindeer burger and said it was delicious! I would eat here again knowing I was well cared for the first time!
Service was great! Food was even better! As a celiac they were aware of myneeds and the menu clearly labeled. I was able to get a 3 course gf meal here. Very good choice.
We had an amazing experience. It’s been the best restaurant that we have tried until now in Iceland: amazing food with wide variety, gluten free options, very nice service and a beautiful place too. Plus, affordable prices. Couldn’t ask for more!
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 🤩
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.

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!
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!
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.
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.

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.
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 😁😁
I felt like the menu was created just for me! Gluten free, potato free, good spice, loads of veggies and creative menu that didn’t default to potatoes- this last detail is actually the most magical- everywhere we went it was a challenge to find veggies that were not potato. Fantastic flavors and super satisfying- wish we could have brought this restaurant home!
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.
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.
If you get the chance to visit this tomato, please do. Absolutely gorgeous greenhouses, lunch served right inside among the plants. Staff was kind enough to give a tour. Gluten free bread available with the soup but is not guaranteed to be free from contamination, so they do offer a very filling salad as an alternative. One of the best lunches I've ever had, such a unique experience.
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.
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.
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.
Great to find a vegan gluten free restaurant right in the middle of Reykjavik. We enjoyed our pad thai and pineapple rice. Both well presented and good portions. Prices are not bad to be in Reykjavik, lower than average as far as we could see from various menus around. We admire the values and ethics of this place both in terms of respect of nature and environment and for the inspiring and hopeful name. Thank you and keep up the good work.
This was such a fun find with great pizza!
I’m celiac and did not have any issues with the gluten free pizza. The lady was super cautious in telling me that they do share an oven but they have separate pans and such, this is fine for me but be cautious if you’re sensitive to that. They were able to cook only my pizza in the oven so it wasn’t cooking with a non-gf pizza, however, they were not busy at the time and I don’t know if they can always offer that accommodation. This also made my pizza come out 5ish minutes before my husbands (not gf) which we were fine with. This was probably the best gluten free pizza I’ve had as well. 10/10 would recommend and go back
Every bite of each meal was delectable. I was skeptical of the veggie burger as usually in many restaurants it is dry and tasteless, but this is the best one I ever had in my life. So much flavor in the veggie burger. I highly recommend it.
The staff is very nice and social, we had a little chat as well and they are all very helpful.
The tea and coffee are complimentary which is very kind of them.
There are many tasty options for people with dietary restrictions: options for vegans, vegetarians, lactose free and I believe even gluten free but I am not 100% sure.
Highly recommend eating here as it is just so worth it.
We found ourselves here because two people in our group have celiac disease and needed safe gluten free options to eat. This was on our first night in Iceland, so we were tired and not being as careful as we should have in terms of checking pricing. Our meal was outrageously expensive (especially for the small portion sizes and casual atmosphere), and what really killed us were the three margaritas we ordered. They were $23 each!! And they weren't even good. The food was good, though.
You know you are in a special location if you keep the menu at your table to read through it during dinner.
This place has history and personality and you feel hit.
Oh, and the food is amazing. Just to be 100% clear
Vegan/gluten free/lactose free and children sized portions/meals are of cause part of the menu.

This restaurant was fantastic! Went in on a whim, and we were pleasantly surprised. Great service, very nice staff who served us, and the food was incredible. Great variety of options (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free) and everything was super fresh. This was the most expensive meal we’ve had so far, but it was definitely worth it as it was the best. The local beer was also quite good; got a pale ale that we ended up buying more of for later.
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.
Celiac friendly
