Experience our culture and heritage through our unique food! In the Faroe Islands, we love to share meals, whether in a traditional Faroese home or at a restaurant. Enjoy Faroese lunch and taste some of the world’s best raw produce that surrounds the 18 islands and the possibility to dine at Restaurant KOKS, which has a Michelin star. We warmly invite you on a journey with emphasis on local food, culture and amazing scenery. FRIDAY: Arrival with Atlantic Airways to Vágar airport. After checking into your accommodation, we suggest a walk around the town stopping at one of the many cafés to taste a beer from one of the two local breweries, Okkara and Føroya Bjór. Both Føroya Bjór and Okkara have won several commendations and prizes for their beer. If you are going to arrive early enough for dinner, then it is possible to pre-book a table at Michelin restaurant KOKS, one of the Faroe Islands leading gastronomic establishments. SATURDAY: Explore the old part of Tórshavn, Tinganes and Reyn. On the tip of this peninsula lies the parliament administrative buildings and the Prime Minister’s office. Here you will also find the charming part of town called Reyn with its tiny grass roofed houses. Make sure you go down to the pretty marina Vágsbotn and have a good cup of coffee in Kaffihúsið, as you take in the view of boats in every colour of the rainbow. Lunch is booked at the trendy sushi restaurant ETIKA, a restaurant backed amongst others, by the well-known restaurateur and entrepreneur Jens Rahbek. Here they serve delicate Faroese produce in classic Japanese style. In the evening, a table is booked for you at Restaurant Áarstova, a true gem, situated in the old part of town in a listed building. It is a charming place with open beams, small doorways, crooked angles, bags of atmosphere and as you would expect, excellent food.
