Bitin Open Sandwich Shop
Bitin
A small Nordic open-sandwich shop in the city center. Prices are reasonable by Faroese standards, it is often full at lunch, and it is a good option for a quick meal.
Bitin is on Niels Finsens gøta in the city center, facing the tourist information center. It specializes in Nordic open sandwiches, including black cod, hand-peeled shrimp and egg, and roast beef, and also serves fish and chips, fish soup and salads. Each open sandwich costs about DKK 55-65. Gluten-free and vegan options are available on request. The shop is small and busy at lunch, and reviewers recommend arriving early to avoid running out. The official website lists closing at 21:00, while a third-party listing says it closes at 15:00, so check before going in the afternoon. Closed on Sundays. About a 10-minute walk from the harbor.
Opening hours
Monday-Saturday 11:00-21:00 (official site); third-party listing 11:00-15:00; closed Sunday
