You can't miss it, on the other side of the ferry terminal, near the museum, with its emblem painted on the whole side: a ram seen from the front. You can visit. It is the best beer in the archipelago. In 1883, Símun F. Hansen went to Denmark to learn the art of brewing. When he returned to the Faroes in 1888, he set up his own brewery in Klaksvík, the second to be established in the country. The first brewery was Restorffs Bryggjarí. Since 2009, and the opening of an office in Reykjanesbaer, the company has started to export its products to Iceland.

This is the state monopoly store. The Faroese can find strong alcohol and wine here, and tourists can buy a few local beers that are stronger than those found in town. The Faroe Islands had the longest period of prohibition in the world, from 1907 to 1992. In 1985, a national referendum on the trade of beer and wine, and the service of spirits, abolished the ban. Nevertheless, the prevention of alcoholism goes through this state trade. The minimum legal age for the purchase of alcohol is 20 years, and the law is not joked about.

This bakery produces a honey cake that is famous throughout Denmark, made to the same recipe since 1783, with modern variations, a Danish gingerbread to simplify.

A bright tea room where you can enjoy a tea or a coffee and a small terrace for the nice days outside. To taste and to take away.
