There is no McDonalds on the Faroes, but Burger King has arrived. In TÃ³rshavn you can find fast food restaurants at the shopping centre SMS and City Burger is situated in the Town center.


Most traditional Faroese cuisine involves meat, either lamb or fish. The traditional Faroese kitchen mainly owes its food traditions to the archipelagoÂ´s harsh climate. This is due to the fact that in earlier days the food culture on the islands was not very extensive. It is hard to find a Faroese dish on the menu of a restaurant, but it is possible at certain restaurants and hotels.

Distinctive Faroese foods include:


SkerpikjÃ¸t, dried mutton that has been hung for over a year and is eaten raw

RÃ¦st kjÃ¸t, meat that has been hung for a couple of months to mature before cooking

RÃ¦stur fiskur, dried fish that has been hung in the same way as rÃ¦stkjÃ¸t

Turrur fiskur, dried fish

Grind og spik, whale meat and blubber

Rhubarb since it is easy to cultivate
