Nice pub with good selection of local draught beer. You can even sit outside and have a look over the eastern harbour. Pub is near the SSL bus station.

From the outside it says “Essabarr” and I couldn’t find a sign that said Natur (but may have missed it). Anyway, it was one of the only sit down places on the Tórshavn map that was actually open and serving lunch on a Monday. And it was awesome. Chili con carne and steak salad were amazing. Definitely go!

Great place near the harbor. Not common for Americans, but you'll definitely feel welcome! Great local draft beers & a few specialty drinks.

Absolutely delicious burger, the best in the Faroe Islands I'm sure! Be aware though, when they write/say "burger and chips", they mean chips in the American sense (and no, they don't go that well together).

Cool waitress, and had a very good and fresh steak salad. Oh, and some of the best views on the Port!
