Tröll Expeditions Solheimajokull
Location: Vík, Iceland
“We did a glacier/ice cave hike with Tröll in Vík on the south coast of Iceland, and there weren’t any food/snacks served. The guides are beyond accommodating, and I definitely recommend it for anyone traveling here!”
Borea Adventures, Main Office
Location: Ísafjörður, Iceland
“No food served and clean offices. Great kayaking experience!”
Arctic Rafting
Location: Selfoss, Iceland
“We did white-water rafting through this tour operator on the Hvítá River about 90 minutes from Reykjavik. You can order food and drinks at an on-site restaurant afterwards, which is convenient as many tours run over lunchtime and there aren’t many food options nearby. Nothing contained nuts, and it was a great way to wrap up our adventure!”
Sky Lagoon
Location: Kópavogur, Iceland
“Must-do experience when you visit Reykjavik! Super clean and can accommodate an allergy to nuts. Less food options than Blue Lagoon, but the 7-step ritual was so much fun, and the views of the North Atlantic were stunning. The 7-step ritual has one step that is a body scrub containing sweet almond oil. Not an issue for us, but keep in mind if you have an almond allergy. “
Elding Whale Watching Akureyri
Location: Akureyri, Iceland
“Great whale watching tour and absolutely no food served. Many places nearby if you need anything to eat.”
Hagkaup
Location: Akureyri, Iceland
“Lots of safe food, just have Google Translate available for non-English labels!”
Strikið
Location: Akureyri, Iceland
“I emailed with this restaurant ahead of our trip, and they said the allergy was no issue. AMAZING food and great service.”
Djúsi Sushi
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“No nuts at the time of our visit, but assuming the menu might change seasonally, so always check. Their menu is in English and Icelandic and has symbols for the various allergens. Amazing sushi!”
Dass Reykjavík
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“Limited nuts on the menu and can easily accommodate an allergy to peanuts and tree nuts.”
Jómfrúin – Scandinavian Kitchen
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“Lovely little Danish restaurant in Reykjavik. Great with our allergy!”
Daddi’s Pizza Reykjavík
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“Great pizza spot and only pine nuts in the kitchen!”
Mr. Puffin – Bird Watching Reykjavík
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“No food served and very clean. Great if you want to see the puffins!”
Fuku Mama
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“They have many dishes containing peanuts, and their kitchen is super tiny. My son (who isn’t allergic to peanuts) enjoyed the food from here, but it’s a no-go if you have a peanut allergy.”
Troll Expeditions Silfra
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“We snorkeled the Silfra fissure with Troll. Since we are using snorkels, I asked about cleaning methods for the mouthpieces, and they sterilize everything with an alcohol solution between uses. After snorkeling, they offer hot chocolate and candy bars. They know the allergy information for everything! Hot chocolate was completely nut-free, and they said the candy bars contained traces of nuts (it ended up being almonds and hazelnuts, which were safe). Fantastic tour guide and absolutely amazing experience!”
Icelandic Street Food
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“This restaurant carries 3 different soups (lamb stew, spicy tomato, and shellfish) with or without bread or a bread bowl, rolled pancakes, and an Icelandic “Happy Marriage” cake (rhubarb and oats). No nuts in the restaurant. Perfect for a cold day!”
Kol Restaurant
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“There are a lot of hazelnuts on the menu and some items containing almond, pistachio, and cashew. Of those, my kids are only allergic to pistachio and cashew. I emailed with the restaurant ahead of our trip, and they assured me the allergy was no issue. They were very proactive and knowledgeable about the allergy and able to make all the dishes nut-free. Great food and service!”
Finsen Matur & Vín
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“My daughter originally ordered a steak sandwich here, although they mainly serve seafood. The chef wasn’t certain about the safety of the bread, so she just got a steak. Only the baked Camembert in the small courses contains peanuts.”
Kastrup Restaurant
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“Fantastic Nordic restaurant that is excellent with nut allergies, and all nuts can be avoided. They have walnuts on one salad and pine nuts, almonds, and hazelnuts on the menu. We didn’t order dessert, but I think there were safe options. Service and food were great!”
Pósthús Food Hall & Bar
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“Pósthús is a food hall containing several restaurants. You have to check with each one, but we were able to find safe food.”
Loo.koo.mas
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“I emailed with this restaurant prior to our trip, and they assured me they could accommodate us. They make these delicious donut-like balls that can be topped in a variety of ways. They have several loose toppings grouped together under a separate glass case. They included walnuts, a variety of chocolate chips, etc. We avoided it because the walnuts were in close proximity to all the other loose toppings. There are several sauces, including two nutty ones: a chocolate sauce (which is hazelnut-based) and a pistachio cream. The staff was extremely helpful as to what was safe and what should be avoided. The absolute best one my kids could eat had a caramel sauce, a vanilla cream, and cinnamon. They also have ice cream (no nutty flavors), but we were advised to avoid the chocolate one until they found out hazelnut wasn’t an issue. It was amazing, and they went above and beyond to help us.”
Reykjavík Fish Restaurant
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
“Nut-free restaurant! I did see that they sell some desserts under a cloche at the register that are probably from a local bakery. The desserts are not safe, but everything on the regular menu is.”
