  3. Café Natúr

    The city's most atmospheric café pub is the hub of Tórshavn's raucous live scene at weekends. They serve a good range of brews and several great-value bar meals. The recommended if misnamed 'Tortilla' is actually a filling burrito-and-salad plate.

  5. Gallari Jinx

    Perched behind big picture windows overlooking the main road, this narrow, artfilled diner-café morphs into a hip youth barscene at night. The espressos are good while tsatziki or goats'-cheese and pesto sandwiches offer salvation for vegetarians.

  11. Tórshøll Pub
