  • Where to Eat in Torshavn, Faroe Islands
    ►Read the blog: davidsbeenhere....
    Here we explore the best flavors of the Faroe Islands’ capital city of Torshavn. In this episode, David visits the three best restaurants in the capital: Aarstova, Koks and Etika. Our first stop is Aarstova. Situated in one of the oldest houses in Torshavn (dating back to the 1600’s), this unique restaurant specializes in rustic Faroese cuisine. Using local ingredients and family-style serving, Aarstova plays off the antiquated atmosphere of the house giving its guests a truly memorable dining experience. If you love shellfish, fish or lamb (their signature braised lamb leg dish is amazing!), then a visit to this idyllic Torshavn restaurant is a must!
    The Faroe Islands are known across the world for their incredible seafood. The Faroe Islands’ capital city of Torshavn is (surprisingly) home to only one sushi restaurant, Etika. Etika takes the Islands’ ocean specialties and crafts them into some of the world’s most delicious sushi creations. With such fresh ingredients including some of the world’s best salmon at their fingertips, Etika is able to produce delicious arrangements with standards and quality that compete with the best Japanese restaurants. If you are a sushi lover looking to sample some of the freshest sushi in the world, dining at Etika is an absolute must!
    And we saved the best for last, Koks Restaurant. A contemporary, fusion restaurant perched on a hill overlooking the small capital, Koks serves up traditional Faroese cuisine with a Michelin Star-worthy twist. Each selection on the menu has been infused with native ingredients and flavors, giving guests an exclusive taste of what the Faroe Islands have to offer. I decided to go with a delicious tasting menu. What better way to explore the best of what a destination has to offer than through its food? Next time you’re traveling to the Faroe Islands, make sure you stop into Koks Restaurant- an incredible culinary journey!
    Thank you for watching Where to Eat in Torshavn, Faroe Islands!

    This is very nice that someone has actually made a video of the food we have here on the faroe islands, and I can already say that this video was not cheap to make, because Koks is very expensive and so is årastova, if you come another time there is now a food truck that's named Streetfood and it has dried ish meat that we call Ræst Kjøt and it's in burgers and it's amazing, so that's 100% recommended

    I was in the Faroe Islands in 2000 and the food was pretty awful. The last thing that the Faroese wanted to eat when they went out was fish or lamb, as they had these coming out of their ears. I wanted to try puffin but that was not available. There was no restaurant serving traditional dishes with the produce of the land. At one restaurant in Thorshavn I had a calzone pizza stuffed with spaghetti! My, it really seems that things have changed! 20 years ago hardly anyone went to the Faroes on holiday. Now it seeme to be very fashionable. I hope it doen't get like Iceland though with too many tourists. But the islands are just so beautiful so I don't suppose I'll be able to talk any more about Europe's 'hidden natural paradise'!

      The resturant scene has changed alot the past 10 years, with alot of fine dining and using local resources. There are still a few steakhouses around, but the quality has changed alot. I would not go out for a bite 20 years ago either😊 I think it is beacause of two chefs that have worked abroad and wanted to open their own place here. I see these comments everywhere these days. So what if you are from a village or town,. It has nothing to do with the original post.
