Faroe Islands

Somewhere between Iceland and Scotland lies a string of 18 islands known as the Faroe Islands. Connected by roads, ferries and helicopters, the islands are a self-governing territory of Denmark.

Eat

Many of the restaurants and bars are located next to each other in the centre of Tórshavn:

Ræst
Áarstova
Barbara Fishhouse
Mikkeller Bar


Koks
The best restaurant in the Faroe Islands. Located in a remote former farmhouse near Leynavatn.


Heimablídni (Supperclub): Anna & Óli
One night we joined seven other strangers at Anna and Óli’s home for a Faroese meal. Heimablídni translates to “home hospitality” and is a unique experience on the Faroe Islands. Locals welcome visitors into their homes for a traditional home-cooked meal and also a glimpse into their lives.
