Leif Sørensen

Bringing Faroese Nature to the Dinner Table

Among the Faroe Islanders Leif Sørensen is known as the “Faroese” cook. By transforming local raw material into tasty and delicious dishes, our Faroese cook is putting the city of Tórshavn and the Faroe Islands firmly on the culinary map of the world.
 

Leif Sørensen combines his vast knowledge of international cuisine and food culture with his passion for preparing food from local raw material. Using Faroese raw materials originating on land, at sea and in the air, Mr. Sørensen transforms the meal into an exquisite emotional and intellectual experience. Drawing on his extensive experiences and understanding of Faroese as well as international gastronomy, he passes on his knowledge to his guests spiced with stories on the origin of the particular dish and its traditional ingredients, which he uses in new and original compositions, creating a culinary treat and eventful presentation of the meal.
 

This innovative focus on the best Faroese raw material has been inspired by the New Nordic Cuisine: “The food we eat should reflect the pureness, freshness and simplicity of the Faroese nature outside our windows”, says Leif Sørensen - thus bringing Faroese nature to the dinner table.
