Review of Old Iceland

Went here for my birthday dinner. I’m celiac and my daughter has a severe peanut allergy. The staff was very knowledgeable and put together an amazing 3 course dinner for our group with wine pairings for the adults. No peanuts were used anywhere in the restaurant so my daughter could feel safe eating everything. We started with some delicious cocktails made from local Icelandic liquors. Many were gluten free, even more were distilled so if you feel good with those you’ll have many more options. They had table bread that was maybe the best bread I’ve ever eaten with whipped butter and blueberry salt. We started with cured salmon appetizer with caviar and house pickles. Only modification for mine was no rye bread with the caviar. I ate mine with the gf bread they gave me and it was amazing. Second course was cod with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. The sauces were beautifully flavored, subtle and well executed. Finally, desert was a brownie which I couldn’t have so they made me a strawberry gelato with a cream sauce and fresh sliced strawberries which was to die for. Finished the meal with some gluten free rhubarb liquor. Absolutely wonderful. The service was kind and hospitable, taking care of all our needs. Note: this is a very small restaurant so you will definitely need a reservation, especially if you have more than 2 people with you.
