EAT & DRINK

Cod tongues, fermented lamb, fresh mussels, craft beer, fine wine, and homemade pastries – the Faroe Islands are a taste for every craving!

One of the best parts of visiting the Faroe Islands is exploring the food scene, where every meal tells a story. In the past decade, visionary chefs such as Leif Sørensen and Poul Andrias Ziska—now head chef at the 2-star Michelin restaurant Paz—have transformed Faroese dining. Their work has put Faroese flavours on the world map and shown that traditional dishes belong just as much in fine dining as they do around the family table.

Only on such an isolated volcanic archipelago could a culinary DNA encoded by the will to survive thrive with such character and pride."

New restaurants continue to open, from harbour-side spots like Skeiva Pakkhús to the grill house The Tarv. Ræst offers a deep dive into Faroese food heritage with the kind of fermented dishes locals have enjoyed for generations, while Heimablídni invites you into Faroese homes for authentic meals and warm hospitality.

Whether it’s coffee by the harbour, fresh seafood with a view, or a Michelin-starred tasting menu, eating in the Faroe Islands is every bit as unforgettable as the landscapes.
