Barbara is a Seafood Restaurant at Gongin 4-6, 100 Tórshavn, Faroe Islands

Barbara Fish House is a seafood restaurant on Gongin, among the oldest streets of Tórshavn. Its turf-roofed house dates back centuries and served as the fictional home of the title character in Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen's novel Barbara, one of the best-loved works of Faroese literature. The kitchen works in the tapas style, building small plates around the day's fresh Faroese fish, so a meal here is as much a taste of local cuisine as a step into sixteenth-century Tórshavn. Dining within one of the city's oldest buildings makes the visit memorable for locals and travellers alike.
