Monkeys Reykjavik

The menu marks several dishes as gluten-free (glútenlaust) and the 5-course set menu can be made gluten- and lactose-free with modifications. The kitchen works with gluten, nuts, seaweed and shellfish in a shared space and states it cannot guarantee cross-contamination-free preparation. A gluten-free diner community site reports the kitchen is 'accommodating' and 'sensitive and knowledgeable' about coeliac needs, but notes 'some risk of cross-contamination'. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer is mentioned. Best for coeliac diners who are comfortable asking staff to adapt dishes and accept shared-kitchen risk.
