I am thrilled to announce that by popular demand we are now offering a second Faroe Islands Tour in September 2026.
When I visited the islands recently, I realised that the combination of incredible food, dramatic scenery, and deep local culture was simply too special not to share. Over four unforgettable days, 12 lucky guests will join me for an immersive, all-in culinary journey through this extraordinary destination.
Together, we’ll explore the very best of Faroese gastronomy:
Restaurant Ræst, where chef Sebastian Jiménez weaves his Mexican roots into the islands’ traditional fermentation techniques, and where Karin Visth has just been awarded the Special Service Award by Denmark’s White Guide — the same guide that named Ræst one of the country’s best restaurants.
Restaurant Paz, where former Koks chef Poul Andrias Ziska has already earned a well-deserved two Michelin stars in record time.
Restaurant Áarstova, famed for its traditional Faroese lamb and seafood, served in a beautifully restored historic house in the heart of Tórshavn.
The tour also includes a truly unique Skerpi Experience — an intimate lunch beside a calm fjord where seafood is lifted directly from the water, prepared moments later, and served in a small wooden hut that perfectly captures the purity and simplicity of Faroese cooking.
One of the most magical moments of the tour will be an open-fire breakfast in the kitchen gardens of Restaurant Ræst, set right on the edge of the sea. As the fire crackles, we’ll gather overlooking a sweeping stretch of coastline, surrounded by the same herbs and plants used in Ræst’s fermentation-driven cooking. With the scent of smoke in the air and waves rolling in beneath us, this simple, elemental breakfast becomes something unforgettable — a rare chance to experience Faroese produce, landscape, and tradition in their purest form.
To elevate the journey even further, we’ll head out on a boat adventure to Hestur–Klæmintsgjógv, exploring sea cliffs, hidden grottoes, and one of the most impressive sea caverns in the North Atlantic.
We’ll also hike the iconic Trælanípa trail, finishing at the spectacular lake-over-ocean viewpoint and the dramatic waterfall that plunges straight into the Atlantic — one of the Faroe Islands’ most breathtaking natural sights.
We’ll stay at the stunning Hotel Føroyar, where every guest enjoys a sea-view room and full access to the hotel’s serene Ress Spa — the perfect place to unwind each day.
There is also an option to join us the night before we fly to the Faroes at Scandinavia's newest three star restaurant Kadeau in Copenhagen at an additional cost of just 550 GBP

Limited to just 7 guests
6 days. 3 countries. 19 Michelin stars.
An immersive journey through the very best of Scandinavian dining, moving seamlessly from Stockholm to Oslo and on to Copenhagen, with every detail taken care of — including flights at civilised times, luxury hotels, and an unforgettable night deep in the Swedish woodlands.
We begin in Stockholm at ⭐⭐⭐ Frantzén, before flying to Oslo for an extraordinary evening at ⭐⭐⭐ Maaemo, enjoyed in the intimacy of their private dining room.
From there, we continue to Copenhagen, arriving in time for one of the most ambitious dining experiences in the world at ⭐⭐🍀 Alchemist.
A major highlight of this year's tour is a visit to Noma (⭐️⭐️⭐️🍀) in Copenhagen. Reopening following its acclaimed Los Angeles residency, Noma remains one of the most influential restaurants of the modern era and one of the world's most sought-after reservations. Dining here offers a rare opportunity to experience the restaurant as it embarks on an exciting new chapter in its home city.Copenhagen then delivers one of the great days in global gastronomy: lunch in the private Inspiration Kitchen at ⭐⭐⭐ Geranium, followed by dinner at ⭐⭐⭐ Jordnær — a perfectly balanced six-star day showcasing the elegance and precision of modern Nordic cuisine.
We then step away from the cities and into the wild, travelling to ⭐🍀 Knystaforsen, where Nicolai and Eva Tram have created something truly special — a place of smoke, fire, and deep connection to nature. Along the way, a surprise lunch awaits.
After a night in the forest, we return to Copenhagen to close the journey at one of Denmark´s most grand hotels. A refined private lunch at ⭐ Marchal, set within the iconic d’Angleterre, where a specially devised menu for our group showcases the great traditions of art de la table — from duck à la presse, pithiviers and turbotière to crêpe Suzette and the theatre of the cheese chariot, the chefs at Marchal will be showing off the absolute best of Marchal´s menu and opening up just for us in a private salon.
Throughout the journey, we stay in some of Scandinavia’s finest hotels — carefully chosen not just for their luxury, but for their sense of place. From refined city icons in Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen to a truly unique night deep in the Swedish wilderness, each property has been selected to complement the rhythm of the tour. Expect comfort, character, and the kind of understated elegance that defines Scandinavian hospitality.

We will also enjoy a private tasting of Txakoli, the distinctive white wine that has become synonymous with the Basque coastline. Produced from indigenous grape varieties and traditionally poured from height to enhance its freshness, Txakoli offers a fascinating insight into the region's winemaking heritage and gastronomic culture.
Following the tasting we continue to Garena, one of the Basque Country's most exciting dining destinations. Set within a beautifully restored farmhouse overlooking the surrounding countryside, Garena combines contemporary creativity with a deep respect for local ingredients and traditions, offering a fitting celebration of modern Basque cuisine. A surprise for my guests on the last Basque tour this was unanimously a highlight (as I knew it would be) and will now feature on all my tours in this region. A highlight of the tour will be an exclusive evening at Rekondo, famed for its legendary wine cellar and collection of mature vintages. Few restaurants in the world offer such a remarkable combination of Basque cuisine, hospitality and vinous history. The opportunity to dive into this world famous wine list is quite frankly impossible to resist. We will certainly have the opportunity to visit the cellar here also.

We'll also enjoy two completely different experiences at Txispa—its acclaimed tasting menu and an intimate evening dedicated to its exceptional yakitori menu. The weekend is completed with a visit to the iconic Casa Julián in Tolosa, where perfectly matured beef is cooked over glowing charcoal in what many consider to be one of the world's greatest steak restaurants.
