Dining with Local Farmers | Heimablídni Supper Club
Dine with farmers in their private home filled with atmosphere and personality. Wife and husband hold a farm on copyhold tenure as the 9th generation. You are invited to join an evening rooted in local and sustainable production, preparation and tradition.
This is a small group experience only. Only bookable for groups of 8 people or more.Next to a floor-to-ceiling window in the village Velbastaður on Streymoy island, you will enjoy a five-course meal, a welcome dram and drinks. This exclusive experience comes with a sweeping view of the Hestfjørður fjord and Koltur island.
Recipes handed down through generations shape the food you will be served. Each dish, each bite conveys the warm feeling of tradition and home.
Culinary skills are a legacy that you are blessed to receive from home. As a farmer’s daughter, Anna learnt as a child to prepare and preserve food from the sheep living freely in the mountains and to cook traditional dishes.
The mothers of farmers always insisted that only the best would do when it came to cooking. They went above and beyond the ordinary. In addition to serving delicious food, they set beautiful tables with fine china and silver cutlery taking pride of place.
Both in their 50s, the couple has had the great fortune of being included in the kitchen from very early on, and that has contributed greatly to food and cooking playing such a big role in their lives. This is your chance to sit at their table for an evening enjoying an intimate dining experiences.
As the 9th generation of custodians of this farm, they set great store by making sure that it retains a level of activity and value that will entice one of their children to take over when they one day retire.
Heimablídni translates directly as “home hospitality”. You are invited into a private home to get a true sense of the culture and food tradition in the Faroe Islands.
You will be served vegetables and meat that are 100% organic. Everything is locally sourced and taken straight from the farm.
What are you waiting for? Make sure to get a first-hand experience of culture, sustainable, local cuisine in the Faroe Islands flavoured with rich conversation. Check availability by choosing a date.

Es war bei unserem Besuch ein sehr schöner Abend, mit spannenden Gästen und sehr leckerem Essen. Die gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und es ist ein Abend der in Erinnerung bleibt.
Danke dafür.
Eine Kleinigkeit: Aufgrund der vielen Menschen war es sehr laut gewesen. Für Leute mit Hörgeräte kann es vielleicht etwas schwierig sein.

Super nice and well organized family and a beautiful home with fantastic views from dining room.
BUT the price do NOT match food / beverages
Too much lamb (two courses)
No fish, only scrimps.

Fantastisk gjestfrihet å kunne komme hjem til dere og få servert en fireretters meny bestående av ekte færøyske råvarer. Hyggelig å møte forskjellige nasjonaliteter og høre gode historier ved bordet. En virkelig flott avslutning på vår ferie. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Outstanding dinner – a true highlight of our trip. Ola and Anna are wonderful cooks and hosts. The meal was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Each course was from their farm – fresh, traditional and paired with a Faroese beer.
We dined with 13 other guests who were all enjoyable in conversation. We especially enjoyed talking with our Australian and Ukrainian guests!
Lastly, the views from our table overlooking the water and other islands was otherworldly – I took so many photos of food and views.
Highly recommended!!!
Enestående middag – et sant høydepunkt på turen. Ola og Anna er fantastiske kokker og verter. Måltidet var deilig og omtenksomt tilberedt. Hvert kurs var fra gården deres – ferskt, tradisjonelt og sammen med en færøysk øl.
Vi spiste middag med 13 andre gjester som alle var hyggelige i samtalen. Vi likte spesielt å snakke med våre australske og ukrainske gjester!
Til slutt, utsikten fra bordet vårt med utsikt over vannet og andre øyer var utenomjordisk – jeg tok så mange bilder av mat og utsikt.
Sterkt anbefalt!!!

I was absolutely delighted we found this experience. The food drink and welcome were absolutely fabulous. I could safely say that the roast lamb was the best I have ever tasted. We took a taxi from Torshavn and that was a great decision because the drink was plentiful. Thank you so much to the whole family

This was such a great experience. Anna, Óli, and their family members were very welcoming and top notch hosts. Their son in law was very kind and answered some general questions about the Faroe Islands we had. Every course of the meal was delicious and it was so fun to meet other travelers and hear about their lives. They also have the best view ever!

We cannot begin to express our gratitude to Onnu and Olá. They are a lovely couple who made us feel so welcome! This diner experience, bringing people together by traditional Faroe cooking and sharing their way of living is so special. We absolutely loved it! If you visit Faroe, visit Onnu and Olá. Thank you so much! Tusind Tak!!

Wonderful Evening with Anna and Oli
What a phenomenal night! Everything about this experience was perfection. Anna and Oli welcomed us to their home with such hospitality and led us to their dining room with huge picture windows overlooking a beautiful sea view. From there, the night was off to a bang — a homemade aperitif made from rhubarb, snuggles with their newest sheep dog (still a glorious puppy), and then dish after dish of fine farm-to-table Faroese delicacies (unbelievably delicious) paired with Faroese beers of all sorts. Anna and Oli were so kind to tell us all about their life and the special events of raising sheep (there are annual sheep beauty contests!). We felt quite lucky to be joined at the table with curious and fun travelers from the U.S. and Spain. My sister and I left smiling from ear to ear and will remember that special night as emblematic of the kind, authentic, extraordinary Faroese people.

Excellent dinner! We were at home and so much welcome, not only as guests but also as members of the family. The food was so authentic, with many local stories about the host’s family. The BBQ was outstanding with such a great view of the shore. This experience was UNIQUE. I do recommend it.
