Burgers, steak and lots of Angus beef! On top of the beef, there are also some seafood options.

Sun–Thu,; Fri Sat,

Carthage Steak

Some excellent steak as the name of the restaurant says. Additionally, since Klaksvík is a coastal town (or a town by the water, depending on how you define "coastal"), there are some excellent seafood options, including several types of seafood soup.

Dragin

Boat tours exploring the magnificent waters of the Northern Islands, passing through breathtaking fjords inside a historic boat (but with all the facilities). Tours depart from the harbour in Klaksvík, but only operate during the warmer months between 1 May to 1 October. Tours depart on Tu Fr at 18:00, and goes for approximately 4 hours.

DKK 500 per person

Fish & Chips Nóa

Serves fish and chips as the name implies. Crispy and not too oily. Don't be fooled by the "small" size fish and chips as the portion is enough to feed a very hungry customer. Also serves burgers and ice cream if fish & chips is not your thing. If you're dining in, order from the trailer outside and take the plate into the building. Free WiFi inside the building.

110 kr for small fish & chips

Frida Kaffihus

Café Fríða

Has the classics of most cafes, with some good salad and burgers in a modern building. There are some good views of the harbour, and what's better than having a coffee in front of some of the most magnificent fjords you could find! Bookings may be required though, and can be done via the website (or the English link, which may not always work).

Mon–Sat (closed Sundays)

Føroya Bjór

A brewery established in 1888 with tours that explain the history of the brewery along with alcohol in the Faroe Islands in detail. There is beer tasting at the end of the tour, but otherwise a great place to have Faroese beer.

Mon–Fri, Sat

Kvinna við róðrið

Woman by the rudder

A memorial statue of Fridtjof Joensen erected on the 100th birthday of Fridtjof Joensen, a local Faroese artist.

Roykstovan

A small but lively bar with some excellent food and some local Faroese beer and cider. The outside of the bar isn't easily noticeable nor recognisable at first, but look out for "Roykstovan" in white text with the word "pub" to the left and right of the door.

Daily

Viðarlundin Úti Í Grøv

Park of Klaksvik

A small park that very much resembles a typical Scandinavian rural setting (something that is unusual in the Faroes), alongside the bay with some excellent views of the town and the harbour. The small bridge is also a nice spot for photography.

Free

Vágstún

A small square garden with a memorial in its centre. It's right in front of the InterSport shop, and access to the garden is only from the front of InterSport.

Christianskirkjan

Christian's Church

This church was built according to the design of the Danish architect Peter Koch and consecrated in 1963. The name derives from the Danish king Christian X, when the church was consecrated to the dead. This is one of the earliest examples of modern Faroese architecture, which combines national traditions and trends of the modern world. The traditional Faroese wooden church was taken as a model, but the building was not constructed of wood, but of basalt, is much larger than traditional churches, and doesn't have a bell tower.

KÍ

Klaksvíkar Ítróttarfelag or KÍ play soccer in the Premier League, the Faeroes top tier, and often win it. Their stadium Við Djúpumýrar (capacity 2600) is central in town. The playing season is April-Oct.

Summarfestivalurin

For 2023: DKK 1100 per adult, DKK 250 per child (aged 6–12)
