"🍎 Kronan is a great discount grocery store located in the heart of touristy Reykjavik, just off of the main walking street.
🇮🇸 If you are self-catering, this is a great place to stock up before you hit the road and discover all of Iceland's natural wonders.
A couple of things to try:
😆 “Feed the Viking Instant Meals." Just add water & enjoy!
👉 Flavours include: Creamy Mexican Chicken, Chili, Creamy Fish Soup, Couscous (Maui Surfer-style), Icelandic Lamb Soup.
🌭 Icelandic Hot Dogs
👉 There are many hot dog wagons around the country and most gas stations sell them in their hot food area. But you can also buy all of the fixings and make your own,
🍅 Icelandic Tomatoes & Cucumbers
👉 The geothermal energy fuels greenhouses around the country. Buy some locally grown produce and enjoy!
🇮🇸 Flatkaka
👉 Is unleavened Icelandic rye flatbread. Sold in stacks of half circles, it's soft, with a distinct rye flavour and a bit of charring. Use them for sandwiches or as the Icelandic version of a tortilla.
🇮🇸 Rúgbrauð
👉 Found in grocery stores and bake shops, it's the modern version of hverabrauð, which is baked in the ground by the heat of Iceland's natural hot springs.
It's dark, dense and a little sweet. It is often served with smoked salmon but delicious on its own with just a little salted butter.
💕 Icelandic Licorice
👉 Icelanders are crazy about black licorice. You can try the basic sweet bites. Or one with soft black licorice covered in milk chocolate.
⏰ HOURS: 9 am - 9 pm "
