Selected entries from the current guide for Tórshavn.
Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
PAZ holds two Michelin stars (2025) and sits at the summit of Tórshavn's small but serious fine dining tier. Chef Poul Andrias Ziska builds his creative menus around ingredients sourced from the Faroe Islands' own waters, farms, and fermentation traditions, placing the archipelago's larder at the centre of every course. At the €€€€ price point, it is the reference address for serious dining in the North Atlantic.
Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
At 8 Gongin in central Tórshavn, Ræst takes its name from the Faroese word for fermented and builds its entire set menu around that tradition. A turf-roofed house with low-ceilinged shared dining rooms frames cooking that holds a Michelin Plate (2025), a NextGen Award for chef Sebastian Jiménez, and a La Liste ranking of 75 points (2026). Open Wednesday to Saturday only.
Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
A Michelin Plate seafood address on Tórshavn's old town street Gongin, ROKS positions itself at the more accessible end of the Faroese dining scene, a price tier below Ræst and PAZ, while drawing on the same North Atlantic provenance that defines the archipelago's culinary identity. It offers a grounded introduction to Faroese seafood without the tasting-menu commitment of its neighbours.
Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
Áarstova on Gongin occupies a firm position in Tórshavn's small but increasingly credible fine-dining tier, with Opinionated About Dining recognition placing it among Europe's ranked restaurants two years running. Chef John Mikkelsen works within the New Nordic framework, seasonality, local sourcing, the Faroese landscape as pantry, in a capital that has quietly become one of the North Atlantic's more interesting dining destinations.

Bitin sits at 12 Niels Finsens gøta in Tórshavn, placing it within one of the North Atlantic's most quietly concentrated dining scenes.

Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
