Food Tours in the Faroe Islands

You’re likely to get to try Faroese food on several of our tours/experiences, but the tours below are our favourite tours that are specifically built around food.

Tórshavn Food Tour

Take this carefully curated culinary tour through the capital of the Faroe Islands. Tours usually last 2.5 to 3 hours and you’ll stop off at 6 or 7 different places to sample local food and drink including hidden corners and tucked-away spots known only to locals. Along the way, discover the stories behind each dish and location while enjoying perfect photo opportunities in some of the most picturesque quarters of this Nordic capital. The vibrant harbour life, winding cobblestone lanes, and colourful wooden houses create an unforgettable backdrop for your culinary adventure.

Farmer’s Food Tour

In Klaskvík, the second largest town after Tórshavn, and main town in the Northern Islands, you can have a unique food tour with one of the oldest farming families in the Northern Islands starting in their sheepshead where you will be served traditional, Faroese appetizers from their farm, hear some stories about their family-oriented farming life and rich ancestral history, while first hand experiencing the life of a farmer in present day Faroe Islands.

Tórshavn Beer Walk

If you’d rather enjoy a guided walk around Tórshavn with a beer in hand then you can join an organised beer walk. Walks usually start at the Mikkeller pub before heading to the 16th century for at Skansin, throught the cobbeld streets of Tinganes, before finishing at the Oy brewery.

Best time to go

Despite their northerly location, the Faroes enjoy surprisingly mild temperatures thanks to the tail end of the Gulf Stream which tempers the chill. Strong winds and frequent rainfall are part of daily life, which summer highs usually around 15°C. If you want to escape the heat of summer, then the Faroe Islands is a great option!

Arrive expecting a mix of cloud and rain along with days of sunshine and endless views. Most visitors choose to come between May and August, the driest and warmest months, with July and August being peak season. In summer, the islands’ northern latitude means long days and near-twilight nights, when mountain silhouettes linger against the sky. Between May and August you can expect 16 to 20 hours of daylight.
