OY Brewing — Local services in Tórshavn

This is the most chill and best-value restaurant I've encountered so far in the Faroe Islands - and they even include fries 🍟 with lunch!😃

🐟Fried Fish and Chips Only 135 DKK, which is much more affordable than Cap Horn. The fish here is done in tempura style - lightly coated in flour and deep-fried, but the fish inside is steamed through high heat rather than fully fried. This method preserves the natural flavor and freshness of the fish, and the fillets separate like garlic cloves - so fresh it practically screams it!

If you like bold flavors, you might want to pair it with one of their sauces. The restaurant offers BBQ sauce, mayo, and a local specialty butter sauce - the same one I had previously at Café Pollastova. So it turns out that sauce isn't exclusive or homemade; you can probably find it in local supermarkets.

The arugula in the butter sauce adds a touch of bitterness to cut through the richness of the fried dish, while enhancing the meat’s aroma. A perfect balance of flavors.

This place is also famous for its beer, and the entire restaurant is decorated in a cool, industrial brewery style. Even the bathroom mirrors look like beer barrels! The oystercatcher and puffin clinking glasses on the front door is absolutely adorable.

Overall, this is the best-value dining experience I’ve had in the Faroes - delicious food, great atmosphere, and competitive prices! Highly...

Interior and atmosphere is nice, it's inside a brewery so alot of industrial design.

Food & drink (3 out of 5) We tested the Bacalao brandada and the Pork sausage, cheddar and jalapeño w/side dishes Sauerkraut and Homemade cucumber salad.

The food taste good but you get tiny portions! For 270 DKK (36 USD) you expect more.

We also tested a new beer on tap, recommended by the bartender. Bartender didn't ask if we wanted a small og big glass, just tapped a big one. 140DKK (18,5 USD)

Value for money (2 out of 5) Total: 410 DKK (55 USD)

Service and staff friendliness (4 out of 5)

Glad we tested out OY, will we come back, probably not for the food, but they got a couple of beers on tap we want to test...

Great beer, wonderful food - can’t go wrong. We hiked up from the city to get a few steps in, had lunch, and visited the National Art Museum on way back. The beer - think we have tried most of the brews on our visit to the islands - is very enjoyable. Fun to see and have a pint in the place it is made. If brewing smells are not your favorite, there are outside picnic tables. Special shoutout to the little takeaway place at the brewery. The kimchi chicken sandwich and fries (curry flavored?) were an unexpected surprise. Super juicy chicken well-balanced with the toppings. Note - very messy, but worth the multiple napkins and mandatory hand wash. Recommend to all beer lovers...
