Ræst
A fermentation-themed tasting restaurant in a turf-roofed old house, listed in the Michelin Guide, presenting the Faroese tradition of ræst as a full menu.
The name means fermented. The Michelin Guide describes the dishes as bold, creative and well balanced, and recommends the shared long table in the turf-roofed old house. The menu revolves around fermentation and aging and may include ræstur fiskur, garnatálg, sperðil, skerpikjøt and game birds. Chef Sebastian Jiménez also brings in Mexican flavors. The fermented flavors are strong and reviews are divided, with some diners finding them overpowering.
