Brass Kitchen & Bar

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Brass Kitchen & Bar is well-regarded by the coeliac community for its dedicated gluten-free fryer, knowledgeable staff, and willingness to adapt most menu items — including burgers, fish and chips, and desserts — to be gluten-free. The kitchen is shared (it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility) but guests report clear protocols: a separate fryer for chips and pan-fried fish coated in cornstarch, staff who clean surfaces and change gloves, and a waiter who is himself coeliac. A few reviewers note that the 'gluten-free beer' is actually gluten-reduced, so coeliacs should ask before ordering. Overall, a popular, confident choice for safe gluten-free dining in Reykjavik.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

HappyCow lists Brass Kitchen & Bar as a non-veg restaurant with vegan options, including a Moving Mountains brand plant-based burger. The single HappyCow reviewer describes it as 'nice and filling'. No evidence of a dedicated cooking area, marked menu, or staff training for vegan prep. Call ahead to confirm what can be adapted.

The menu features burgers (including a vegan burger) and sides like fries and salad, but there is no allergen-marked menu or dedicated vegetarian preparation area. The kitchen serves meat and fish. Staff can accommodate if asked.

Multiple diners report getting dairy-free meals (e.g. dairy-free fish and chips, dairy-free desserts) and the kitchen is noted as accommodating requests. However there is no dedicated fryer or kitchen space for dairy-free, and the menu does not mark dairy items. Staff will work with you if you ask, but best to confirm your needs directly.
