OK, first the good news: there is not a single McDonald's in Tórshavn. The bad news: there is a Burger King. I'm sure it's just fine, and no doubt a godsend for anyone traveling in the area with children. It can also serve well as a budget meal, I suppose, especially for homesick Yankees craving a Whopper. I didn't eat here, but the burgers smelled just as good as they do around my home.
Favorite Dish: If I recall correctly, a Whopper value meal runs about Kr 60.

If you're looking for a fill-the-tank meal and don't really want to cook for yourself, consider Sunset Boulevard, a sandwich shop in the SMS Shopping Center not far from the soccer stadium. You get a decent choice of sandwich or wrap "combo meals" to include "healthy fries" (baked french fries) and a drink for around Kr 65. It will not be the culinary highlight of your trip, but it's quick, (relatively) cheap, and filling.
Favorite Dish: I had some sort of chicken-and-cheese sandwich or other on ciabatta with "salsa" (more or less chopped tomatoes with a mild green pepper or two and a little onion thrown in). Sara had something similar, only in a wrap. Nothing to write home about, but perfectly edible.

Our hostel didn't include breakfast, so we decided to see what else was available. The tourist office pointed us to any number of hotel breakfasts. I asked about the coffeehouse across the street from the bus station; we were told the place had only "very basic" breakfasts, and that we'd be better off just paying up at a hotel.
Well, thanks a lot for the advice, but we tried Kaffistovan anyway. Their selection of breakfast food was just fine, from bread and cheese to pastries to cold cuts. We liked it so much, we came back every morning for breakfast during our stay in Tórshavn.
As far as I know, this is the only coffeehouse open early in town. On weekdays, it opens at 7AM. Saturdays, it opens at 10AM. Kaffistovan is closed on Sundays.
Favorite Dish: We especially liked the pastries. I think my favorite was the croissant with Nutella filling. The first morning, the cashier even made pancakes specially for Sara (Note: pancakes are not normally served for breakfast in this part of the world).
The food selection is a la carte. Depending on what you get, breakfast will cost you between Kr 20 and Kr 45. A large coffee costs Kr 10; refills cost Kr 5.

The restaurant that belongs to the 4-star Hotel Foroyar on top of the road Oyggjarvegur has a relatively small card, but what they offer is real quality. It is a 4-star restaurant with a great view over the city. We ate there once when the sun was shining over the city, so excellent views!

It was a recommened stop - i had only a coffee and it was fine. There is a smoking and non smoking section - however as ever to get to the non-smoking section you must walk through the smokers!
