Fiskastykkið: A hidden gem in the North Atlantic Ocean

Tucked along the Faroese coast near the striking Gjógv gorge, Úti á Gjógv offers guests an experience unlike any other. Originally a salt cod warehouse, the historic venue and café has been restored and can now host up to 120 guests for conferences, weddings, meetings, and other events. And the food has local flavours all the way.

Breathtaking rugged coastlines. Striking mountain views. Waves crashing against cliffs. Lush greenery. These are the surroundings of Fiskastykkið and Úti á Gjógv, a café and an event venue joined together by a glass alley. Built in 1912, the building was originally a salt cod warehouse, which has been restored. “It’s not just a place, it’s a story. When you enter the building, you’re stepping into that story,” says Jónleyg Joensen, manager at Úti á Gjógv and Fiskastykkið.

With three floors, Úti á Gjógv can accommodate up to 120 guests. Whether you are looking for a wedding venue, a place to host your next business meeting or a smaller conference, Úti á Gjógv is the ideal space. While you get the sense of being in the middle of nowhere, you are just 10 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes from Tòrshavn.

In addition to local ingredients, the team also uses locally made ceramics, handcrafted napkins, and flowers from the local area all year round.
