We visited Solving today, and found this traditional Danish restaurant. There were quite a few guests waiting in line. Inside the restaurant you could see very Danish style decorations. The food was very delicious. The service could be better, maybe from short of staffing. Highly recommend.
I love their crispy bacon The pancakes were kinda eggy like crepes. Very good! The jams here are delicious Tried the dutch style sausage. It was a very mild sausage, pretty decent but the bacon was the way to go imo Definitely gonna be my go to spot whenever I come down
Stopped in to try their famous Aebleskiver’s and they did not disappoint. They came out fast and fresh. Like little pancake balls with powdered sugar and raspberry jam. Nice to have dessert first sometimes. Shared a plate of meatballs with potatoes and gravy, veggies, and soup or salad. The menu has quite a variety. The service was friendly. Like a local family vibe. Plenty of parking nearby. The location was very clean.
Came to solvang the second time and had a chance to visit solvang restaurant. Famous for its aebleskiver, this place is definitely a great one to dine
The kind man in the Solvang visitor center mentioned that Solvang restaurant serves Danish ball-looking pancakes and since I am a big sweet tooth, I couldn’t resist checking it out. Food: 5/5 We ordered classic Aebleskiver - aka Danish Pancake Balls. The texture was exactly what pancake feels like, soft, fluffy and moist. It came topped with raspberry jam and powdered sugar, which sounds like very sweet but it wasn’t. I personally liked it a lot and it was nice to enjoy with some warm tea. Presentation: 4.7/5 It was simply plated without anything special - felt like in grandma’s house. Service: 4/5 Service was fast, but our server was not too welcoming. Atmosphere: 5/5 It felt like a cute little diner with Danish vibes. Value: 5/5 The plate with 3 pancake balls was priced at $5.25. Very fair price and good value! Overall Rating: 5/5
Very cute inside. To be honest I thought the sour dough toast was better than the pancake things they service. But it was very delicious and fresh. We would come back.
Like the Red Viking nearby, Solvang Restaurant serves a hodge-podge of American diner fare and Scandinavian specialties, the latter of which I enjoy far more than the former. Thus, even though it was mid-morning, I waited out the clock until 11am, so I could order off the lunch/dinner menu, and score myself the combo plate of meatballs, sausage, mashed taters, and assorted veggies. My wife went with the open-faced sandwich plate, which was more of a DIY affair than a true sandwich. Our entire order came out far faster than expected, hot and fresh (or cold and fresh, in my wife's case). Simple. Modest. Delicious. Put a sausage, meatball, mashed potatoes, or all three in front of me, and you know I am going to be a happy camper! Regretfully, I forget to order a small batch of Aebelskivers to go, as I had intended; I can't even remember the last time I had one, and now I am kicking myself for forgetting them! I guess now I have another reason to return to Solvang! Like its name, the food here at Solvang Restaurant isn't particularly creative or fancy: it's just simple, ol' fashioned home cookin', made with love, like it came out of your grandma's kitchen, and that all by itself makes it something special. A meal here feels a little bit like coming home for the holidays. If nostalgia has a flavor, then they are serving it up here in spades. Don't miss out!
Such a beautiful Danish atmosphere. The famous Aebleakivers were amazing. The food was delicious. we loved it!
We came to the Solvang restaurant for lunch while exploring Solvang. Great little restaurant with family friendly atmosphere, great food, and customer service. Would highly recommend coming here if you are visiting Solvang.
How can you go to Solvang without trying abelskivers? You can't. This place has something for everyone. Honemade delicious salsa. Best Denver Omelet I have had in years. Plenty of room and no rush.
