Arguably, the best way to experience any culture is to integrate with the locals. And what better way to do this than over a delicious, traditional meal?
The Faroese phrase “heimablídni” translates directly as “home hospitality,” and all across the islands, you can enjoy a traditional Faroese home-cooked meal and authentic and intimate dining experiences in people’s homes.
”hosts go out of their way to create the best possible experience for the guests. It’s not just about the food. Guests get to spend the evening to truly soak in an authentic Faroese culture and learn about the people, politics, music, and more.”
- Ragnhild and Jóannes, eatlocal.fo
