Did you ever think what is really out there, behind the end of the world? Well, think Koks. Most of the people I met didn't even know where is Faro Island, then driving to Koks seams even more mysteriously. Parking at the lake, then taken by their restaurant's SUV, driven by one of the chefs on a dirt road and only then - you will find your self in a mountains cabin. Inside, watch your head since the ceiling is very low, then, once you are sitting on your chair - prepare for a unique, very different culinary experience. You will eat parts of animals you probably never thought of, mostly from the sea but not only, a lot of fermented food as this is one of the primary preserving traditional technique. The plates styling is minimal and gives respect to the ingredients. The service is warm and friendly, yet very professional. If you have an open mind and not just looking for a comforting stew - then you definitely should visit Koks.

If you're seeing this just do it. I could write paragraphs on how great this place is, how great the food is and how great the people are. This is something you should experience if you're visiting the Faroe islands. You get to try the most amazing food while also being educated on the history of the ingredients and how the dish came to be. One of the best things about this experience is when you first arrive and the whole kitchen staff is there to greet you. It's such an amazing experience.

I’ve visit KOKS just after it was granted its first Michelin Star, on the former location, close to Tórshavn, and that was a unique experience. They serve only food prepared with local ingredients. And, talking about such a remote place, that’s single. PROS: - the place was amazing, with a great view to the bay; - the food was amazing; - I had the “local ingredients juices” instead of wine paring. And that was the best choice ever. Even mushroom juice was served. It was amazing! - the staff was very nice and attentive; - the ambience is simple and elegant CONS: - my stomach started to hurt just before leaving the restaurant. It lasted for few hours. I don’t know what happened, but that was not good. Maybe because of different food to my body? Maybe some raw food? I’ll never know. - I almost broke a teeth with a fish/crab bone (check the picture)

I had an amazing dinner here just yesterday night. We opted for the juice pairing because I was driving and I thought I shouldn't drink. I counted 16 course. For each dish they will present the dish to you, briefly describing what's in it and how it was prepared. All the dishes look so amazing, it's like a piece of artwork. They certainly taste delicious. They have like 5-6 tables I think. They will just serve that number of people for dinner for the day. That's it. As guests you have all the time to enjoy the food and the view. Yes the view! Breathtaking. You will need reservations. It is very expensive, good for special occasions, or when you feel like indulging.

I'm not a fan of fish/sea food, actually I hate it usually, but for Koks I made and exception, and it definitely paid off. The food is amazing, very unique and tasty, beautifully served and accompanied by great atmosphere. There were so many dishes, and highlights during the evening. The entire experience was superb. The wine pairing and the juice pairing both are incredible. Really elevated the entire evening.

The most exquisite and memorable dining experience worthy of its Michelin stars! Start at the hut by the lake, with a bit of Faroese history, some beer/kombucha and snacks. Then get a bumpy ride up, with sheep milling about as the jeep makes it’s way to the restaurant. There, the food is served, each one so unique that it takes you along for a gastronomical ride. The staff are well-coordinated and thoughtful. The most amazing and remote foodie destination.

Undoubtfully, Koks offers an experience beyond what one would expect from a Michelin restaurant. It starts right from the lake hut, where the owners welcome you with the traditional Faroese snack and a story about the restaurant and its connection to their land. Then it continues through a short and bumpy ride in a beaten Land Rover along the lakeshore, sometimes going to the water due to the lack of road. By the time you reach the restaurant, located in a three-hundred-year-old farmhouse and see the line of cooks greeting you on entrance, you think you're prepared to any surprises. However, when you step into the old building with the ceiling so low that most people have to bow, you realize that it's just the beginning of the fantastic journey that carefully unveils the story of the culinary tradition of the people that inhabit the windswept northern islands. The attention to detail, presentation and choreography of serving is impeccable. But it's not the food that you are after when you visit Koks: it's the story of the land, sea and people that you get to learn through the twenty courses of the dinner. Don't get me wrong, the food is amazingly varied, given the scarce seasonally available local ingredients. It's the theatrical act and the story that gets you hooked up. We were lucky to attend the annual Faroe Islands Seafood Festival and tried some of the traditional Faroese food the day after visiting Koks. In fact, we enjoyed some of the simple (and free!) meals more than their sophisticated counterparts, served at Koks. But it would be impossible to feel the connection to the land and people without a good storyteller that walks you through the story behind every course. To sum up: it worth taking a two-hour flight from Copenhagen to spend an unforgettable evening in a farmhouse turned into a Michelin-starred restaurant run by one of the most amazing teams of the present day.

An exquisite and out of the ordinary experience! This restaurant, totally off the beaten path, delivers a unique combination of world class haute cuisine with a very clear local touch of Faroe tradition and products, genuine hospitality and pride in their work, and a venue in a breathtaking landscape, where you need a 4WD Jeep to take you the final distance. A visit to KOKS is a memory of a lifetime!

This Michelin star restaurant offers an evening long tasting menu, super imaginative with emphasis on local ingredients - lots of super fresh seafood, mutton and a lot of local berries . Other than the food which was very good (some dishes better than others but there were 18 so who can remember all), the venue is very special - a wooden hut you get to on a ride by their own land-rover after a lakeside welcome tasting in a wind drying shed for mutton. The waiters and sommelier are all charming and very knowledgeable, the service is impeccable and the whole experience is well worth the substantial bill at the end. If you are a Foodie this is a place not to miss while visiting the Faroe islands.

I’m attaching a photo with information about how to visit Kok’s near Ilulissat, Greenland. This is where Kok’s has temporarily moved to from the Faroe Islands. They encourage a night at the hotel which houses the temporary restaurant in Greenland. But you can also visit as a day trip but it’s an all afternoon and evening affair that includes round trip boat transfer from Ilulissat. Sadly, they don’t cater to vegetarians or vegans.

We are travelling a lot and we always go to the Michelin Restaurants on the way. This one is clearly the best one we visited so far. The restaurant itself is breathtaking, the staff is absolutely wonderful and the quality of the food is perfect. An amazing experience from the second they pick you up in their Defender in the parking space until they drop you there in the end.

Amazing place - just getting there is Wonderfull. The setting in a old farm house is beautiful and the food makes this place among the best restaurants in the world. Innovative and a very nordic kitchen with the most fresh ingredients you can get - except for their fermented lamb with is long time preserved making it the parma ham of the north. Get a reservation, you will not regret, even though you have to fly to the fantastic islands of Faeroe.

Fantastic experience. Lots of seafood and also Faroese inspired dishes. Perfect service and beautiful surroundings. Can only recommend to visit this restaurant if possible.

This is the first Michelin 🌟 restaurant I've been to... it's a perfect follow-up to the Chef's Table series (if you've ever seen it)! KOKS is located in a pristine, remote place (it's a small adventure to reach it), & the menu items are sourced from local Faroese (often wild/unusual) ingredients which vary based on the season/catch-of-the-day. I recommend the juice-pairing for the tasting menu which is also prepared locally (unlike the wines which are imported).
