GOURMET
With exquisite commodities recognized by the elite of gourmet chefs of the world, there is every reason to taste the local food, regardless of being traditionally prepared by a housewife at home or at a gourmet restaurant. If the aim is for a more international cuisine, especially Tórshavn boasts an impressive range of restaurants for its size, the range going from fastfood like burgers, bagels and fish & chips to Mediterranean and Chinese kitchen.
RUN Put on your trainers and enjoy a run in the beautiful scenery, savour the peace and quiet and fresh air. Take part in one of the regular runs which are arranged for those who just want to exercise, but also cater for the more experienced.
