Áarstova
A traditional Faroese restaurant in a turf-roofed old house in the Tórshavn old town, known for slow-cooked lamb shoulder and local seafood. It is a classic dinner choice for travelers.
The restaurant is in a turf-roofed old house on Gongin Street in the old town of Tórshavn. The building was once a tavern and inn, and its close-set tables are part of its character. The official site emphasizes lamb and seafood. The signature is a shareable slow-cooked lamb shoulder, usually served with local potatoes and root vegetables. It also offers three- or five-course set menus and a langoustine soup. Dinner only. Reviewers recommend booking in advance through the official website. Prices are on the high side. It is a short walk from the old town harbor.
