At Heima á Fitjum, we’re proud to offer more than a place to eat. We open our doors and invite guests into our daily lives. We share homemade breakfast with freshly baked rolls, nut-nougat spread from grandma’s recipe, and salmon straight from the fjord. But more importantly, we share moments. Stories. Laughter. Silence. A sense of connection that lingers long after guests have gone.
