Gluten Free Iceland

Iceland is the first country other than the States that I am travelling to since being diagnosed as Coeliac 3 months ago. My boyfriend and I are taking a 5 day trip to Reykjavik and I hope to have stories of delicious gluten free treats and beautiful northern lights to share with anyone thinking of taking a similar trip. If any gluten free travellers out there have already been to Iceland then please share your experiences here!

Gluten Free in Reykjavik

Reykjavik

I spent a fantastic few days in Reykjavik this winter and didn’t have any problems finding lots of gluten free things to eat :-)

The hotel we were staying at provided breakfast but it consisted, as I had predicted, of bread, ham and cheese slices, corn flakes and muesli so nothing that I would be able to have. Luckily, I had come well prepared with a bag of my favourite gluten free, organic corn flakes so each morning I would pour my own bowl of cereal with the milk provided. (more…)

Reykjavik research

I’m heading off to Iceland in just over a week so I’ve been looking into what I can find out about Reykjavik and any gluten free options that may be awaiting me! So far I haven’t been able to find much….When I travel I love eating out so my first port of call was to do some research into any restaurants in Reykjavik that offer gluten free options. I came across  http://www.celiachandbook.com/index.html which provides a list of restaurants in lots of different cities that have been found to cater for the gluten free of us. For Reykjavik, the list is pretty short so hopefully I’ll be able to help them out with a few ideas after this trip. For now though Indian Mango (http://www.indianmango.is/ENGLISH/) is somewhere I’m definitely going to have to try! The menu on their site says that all of their main dishes are gluten free…Too good to be true right? and everything sounds delicioso too!! Stay tuned to find out….
