Welcome to Fjósið
Located in the village of Bøur, Fjósið is a unique restaurant situated in the top part of a barn. We provide a farm-to-table dining experience with ingredients sourced from our farm, including lamb and cow, as well as local salmon. Open to the public seasonally, Fjósið also accepts year-round bookings for private dining, meetings, and events.
A Barn with History
Fjósið is located in a simple, carefully renovated barn that reflects the quiet charm of Bøur. We’ve kept the space true to its original form, preserving the natural simplicity of the building while making it a welcoming spot for our guests. It’s not fancy, but we believe the rustic setting adds a down-to-earth atmosphere to the experience, offering a peaceful place to enjoy a meal. Our aim is to create a space that feels comfortable and familiar, where the focus is on good food and good company.
Local Ingredients
Our approach to food is straightforward: we use what’s available around us. The ingredients in our dishes come from our farm or nearby producers, ensuring that everything is fresh and local. We raise our own lamb and cattle, and work with local salmon farmers to offer simple, honest meals that highlight the flavors of our region. By keeping things local, we can offer dishes that are both fresh and connected to the community, all while supporting small-scale, sustainable producers.
Rooted in Community
Fjósið is run by people from the local community, and we keep it that way. It’s a small place, and we like to keep things simple, focusing on creating a familiar and relaxed atmosphere. Being locally owned, we value the connections we have with our neighbors, and our goal is to provide a space where everyone feels welcome. Whether you’re from nearby or visiting, we want Fjósið to feel like a place where people can come together, enjoy honest food, and feel part of something local and genuine.
What we offer
About us
Heri is the farmer and the one who came up with the idea of making part of the barn into a restaurant/venue. Jenny is the wife, boss, chef and cleaner.
Our friends Eystein and Ellef, who run Bluegate.fo, add a bit of adventure to our experience. They offer sightseeing tours on their fast boats, making it easy for our guests to enjoy a day on the water and a meal in our barn.
Eyðfinn, Heri's cousin, helped turn the barn into what Fjósið is today. Together with his wife Poula, they’re a big part of our day-to-day life here, helping in the kitchen and keeping the place running smoothly.
Tórður, Eyðfinn and Poula's son, is about to become a constructor. He’s been involved in making Fjósið a reality and represents the next generation of our community, blending old traditions with new ideas.
