Hi Friends!

Usually I am a big planner in terms of food on vacation and this is mostly just because I am so scared with my allergy of not having something to eat or causing problems with whatever group I am in. It sucks when you’re hungry and wandering around trying to find food that won’t make me sick. All that said, I didn’t plan ANYTHING in terms of food for this trip. It just totally slipped my mind. While we were there we didn’t eat out much very much. We stopped at grocery stores and then mostly cooked food at our Airbnbs! There were a few places we did eat out though and I wanted to share those with you guys below!

Where to Eat Gluten Free in Reykjavik, Iceland

Krua Thai Restaurant - We were visiting Rainbow Road and the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church right around lunch time and we were so happy to stumble into the yummiest food we had in Iceland! They had a lot of gluten free options and the waiter was very knowledgeable of my gluten allergy. I honestly think that our waiter was the owner as well but nonetheless, knowledgeable! I decided to get the Pad Thai and I added chicken, it was SO good! We were also able to get whatever spice level that we wanted. Dustin got the chicken Kuayda Pad with rice and it was like a red curry. It was also able to be made gluten free! The portions were huge and I ended up taking about half of mine to go for later, side note, it reheated well!

Coffee shop in Penninn - We went in to browse the bookstore and grabbed a coffee while we were in there. The bookstore was so cute and had so many options book wise. I know it was the middle of June when we were there but Dustin and I both got a pumpkin spiced latte and it really just hit the spot! It was so good, not too sweet, so good!

Rost Reykjavik - This was a coffee shop that was closer to the cruise port but we stopped here for breakfast before we got onto our ship! To eat I got the hot ham and cheese on gluten free bread, it was good! Dustin got one of their specials that was specific to that day but it was out of his comfort zone and he still loved it. To drink I got the one of their special lattes that was being advertised on the chalk board but it had like caramel popcorn on top and was so good! It was definitely more of a sweet treat rather than a regular coffee situation! Dustin just had a latte and liked that as well!

Like I said, we were only there for a few days and we did eat in our Airbnbs for the most part but we did eat and get coffee at a few good spots! Have you eaten at any of these spots? I can’t recommend the Krua, the Thai restaurant enough and it is right next to rainbow road. Definitely worth the spot! Let me know if you eat at any of these spots! If you have any questions you can comment below or as always you can send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Much Love,
