One of the highlights of my recent restaurant tour was another visit to the Faroe Islands and to ⭐️⭐️ restaurant Koks @koks_restaurant But one of the highlights of any of the travelling and eating that I’ve done was when chef Poul Andrias Ziska of Koks @poulandrias picked me up from my hotel and drove me to the spot where the local fishermen and harvesters of seafood drop off their catches and where the chefs at Koks drive by every morning to collect these treasures to take to the restaurant.
Before I knew it, I was standing on a short wooden pier surrounded by incredible scenery watching Poul pulling crates of live shellfish out of the water and selecting a couple of each specimen to enjoy with some shots of warming aquavit. I’ve been to hundreds of Michelin star restaurants in recent years and even the most intricate and luxurious three star meal doesn’t come close to standing in the cold drizzle watching Poul dispatching fresh shellfish with a simple pocket knife and handing over some of the best seafood in the world to pop into my mouth. Horse mussels, langoustine, Queen scallops, razor clams and mahogany clams decades old all washed down with aquavit and conversation. Unbeatable. And the following meal at Koks wasn’t bad either. Actually better than my previous visit I felt. There are exciting times ahead for Koks with new investment found they will hopefully be moving to a brand new premises in the coming years. From what Poul was saying, the plans are very ambitious indeed. Something to keep a close eye on.

Next was a trip to the Faroe Islands and to ⭐️ ⭐️ @koks_restaurant . World famous now as the place to go for pristine seafood and interesting local aging and preserving techniques, this really was a trip I was excited about. And it didn’t let me down. A restaurant and an area of the world that I really can’t wait to get back to. .

Koks, the World's Most Remote Foodie Destination? Koks is definitely a destination dining, it takes some effort to get there. The Faroe Islands are overwhelming, words can't describe the beauty of this pristine country. In Faroese, koks means a flirt, or someone who fusses over something in pursuit of perfection. (The restaurant’s name was not chosen because of its swaggering phallic connotations in English.)
Poul Andrias Ziska, a twenty-eight-year-old chef and a native of Tórshavn proudly deserved the 2nd star in 2018. Less
