This place is amazing. Great staff and the atmosphere was perfect for the time of year. I honestly loved the menu being so simple, because they could focus on the quality of the food. Furthermore, this place has an extremely interesting history which they fill you in on via a book on your table. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
Good food, but I did expect better for the price. The starter was amazing but the lamb was only good, and not especially memorable. Wine pairing was excellent.
Four and half star for this restaurant, convenient location being in Tórshavn, quaint, attentive staffers and good foods. Try out the lamb, that said, the lamb shoulder can only be ordered if you were at least a party of two, they would allow you to substitute that with lamb rack though. Not a big deal and totally understand the why, but it’s still mildly annoying that not all options are available for all guests regardless of party size.
Amazing. Truly a great restaurant. Yes you will pay for it but it is worth every krona in comparison to other area restaurants. Reservations can be made easily via the website and are recommended. The building is beautifully renovated and provides a perfect accompaniment to the meal.
One of the best authentic restaurants in Tórshavn. The menu is fixed, i.e. you choose from a limited number of options in 3 or 5 course menu (you can also make two course if you skip the dessert). The lamb shoulder is amazing, make sure to try it if you're at least two at the table. It's quite a large portion, and is served with potatoes and vegetables. The restaurant staff are very friendly. The price is finally on the par of the other traditional restaurants in the area. Definitely worth it.
