We are surrounded by nature, sheep and beauty, with the most amazing sunrise each morning, with views of the northern lights and shooting stars on the terrace in winter, waking up to birds singing in summer and front view seats to the ocean and all it's glory. Minimum of 2 people. 3 course menu Starter: Faroese Tapas with tastings of traditional faroese food. Dinner of the day. Dessert: homemade cake. Add a dinner - or Heimablídni as we say - to your cart.
