Garðurinn

Almost all daily dishes and soups are gluten-free (marked *G on the menu), and several coeliac/GF reviewers report no symptoms and knowledgeable staff. A separate toaster is used for GF toast. However, the kitchen is shared—one reviewer noted 'no dedicated kitchen'—and at least one older review mentions getting glutened. The menu is not 100% GF across the board (one spinch tart has a 'gluten free option' rather than being always GF, and a carrot cake was reported as not GF). Given the strong positive signal from multiple coeliac diners but the shared kitchen and one historical incident, this is best classified as Tier A—strongly trusted but not a dedicated facility.

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.

Every dish on the weekly menu is marked *V (vegan) in addition to *G. The venue's website says 'homemade vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes'. Multiple reviewers confirm almost everything is vegan. The kitchen is shared and the menu changes daily, but the consistent all-vegan marking plus staff knowledge places this at Tier A.

The venue describes itself as a 'family restaurant' serving homemade 'vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes'. The entire daily menu is vegetarian—all dishes listed (carrot loaf, lentil soup, spinach tart, korma, ratatouille, tofuballs) are vegetarian. The kitchen is shared but the menu is fully vegetarian by design, so this is Tier A.

Dairy-free

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

Several FindMeGlutenFree reviewers mention 'Good for dairy-free', and one reviewer with dairy allergy said the staff went out of their way to confirm ingredients. There is no dairy-specific marking on the menu and no structural information about dedicated equipment or a dairy-free kitchen. This thin signal qualifies as Tier E—call ahead and confirm.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
