Restaurant KOKS

Restaurant KOKS, which was awarded its first Michelin star in 2017 and was awarded star number two in 2019, originally started as a restaurant at Hotel Føroyar. It soon developed its own identity and moved out of the hotel, first to Kirkjubøur and later to an isolated farm among sheep and mountains by Lake Leynavatn on Streymoy. The restaurant with its 26 seats was located here until the end of 2021.

Plans are made to build a brand new restaurant with overnight accommodation on Streymoy. In the meantime, KOKS has moved to the village of Ilimanaq south of Ilulissat on the west coast of Greenland. According to the plan, KOKS will move back to the Faroe Islands in 2024. From spring 2022, KOKS will also, under the name ROKS, operate in the two restaurants Ræst and Fútastova in old central Tórshavn.
