The meal is advertised as non alla carte, but is essentially a buffet with salads and a selection of hot food. GF bread was available.

Being a buffet you have to hope there is no cross-contamination from other diners mixing spoons.

Only the beef in mushroom sauce was gluten free. It was tasty though somewhat uninspiring.

One of the best meals we had in Reykjavik. The staff was knowledgeable about Celiac and could provide recommendations. They gave us a basket of delicious gluten free bread as well.

We went for lunch and had a great experience. The server was very familiar with Celiac. She brought GF bread for my daughter and her own butter; normal bread and butter for me. My daughter had the salmon, I had the cauliflower risotto! Fantastic. When the server gave us the dessert menu, she mentioned that while the chocolate was GF, the cacao used in the cake was manufactured in a facility that was not 100% GF. Highly impressed with the level of knowledge. Service and food were phenomenal!

As soon as our table mentioned ‘celiac’ our server immediately responded by saying she would tell the kitchen so they could avoid cross-contamination. The staff are clearly knowledgeable and take it seriously.

The menu is fully marked for gluten and other common allergies and has lots of GF options - including almost all of the desserts. And they have good GF bread for the table.

Fik lam - og det smagte himmelsk. Professionelt personaler, der havde styr på glutenindholdet i deres mad, og sørgede for at tilpasse retterne, så de var glutenfri. Spiste også dessert; panna cotta - der dog var smagsneutral, men isen og saucen dertil gjorde noget godt for desserten. Alt i alt en rigtig god oplevelse

A good amount of choices for mains and 4 out of 5 desserts were GF! Everything was clearly marked and server was knowledgeable. They have a big sign up front asking folks to make them aware of allergies. The most lovely surprise was the gluten free bread they brought to the table for me which allowed me to eat the amazing homemade whipped butter.

Hostess and waitress both mentioned they would tell the kitchen I’m celiac. Waitress said my food would take a little longer to prepare so I was completely confident with the place. First time I’ve been brought my own GF bread before dinner! I had the Arctic Char and it was delectable.
