Íslenski Barinn - The Icelandic Bar
The venue's own menu marks two main courses as 'Glútenlaust / Gluten free' (the slow cooked lamb shank and the sheep's head), and the menu header asks guests to consult their waiter about allergies. An aggregator listing confirms gluten-free buns and beer are available, and describes the staff as trained and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is shared and gluten-free items are not systematically marked across the full menu. Cross-contamination risk is managed by staff awareness but no dedicated equipment is mentioned. Coeliac diners should verify procedures on the day.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The menu clearly lists a Vegan burger and notes that the chicken salad and soup of the day are available as vegan courses. Vegan mayonnaise is listed as a side sauce. These are menu-level accommodations but the kitchen is shared and no dedicated preparation area is mentioned. Staff should be consulted for cross-contamination concerns.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
Several vegetarian items appear on the menu including a creamy mushroom soup, side salad, and a soup of the day that can be vegan. The menu marks these clearly, but the kitchen is shared and no dedicated vegetarian prep area is flagged.

Dairy-free

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.
The menu is heavy on cheese, cream, and butter across almost every section (cheese-topped burgers, creamy soups, skyr desserts, whipped cream). No dairy-free alternatives are listed. Staff may be able to adapt on request given the allergen-conscious menu header, but the default kitchen is dairy-rich. Call ahead to confirm options.
