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...Read More

Long wait — around 40 minutes — but the hostess and our server were super sweet. The danish combination (meatball, sausage, pickled red cabbage, gravy, and boiled veggies) was delicious and next time I’d get it again and split it in half with someone else. I...Read More

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...Read More

Waiting time was acceptable during peak-hour lunch (15mins). Nice decor, it brings "Danish" ambience. Food was great, the mustard sauce goes well with sausage. The Eberskiver is a must-try!

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...Read More

Came for their famous Aelbeskivers and loved them! The service was really fast, the waitress was super nice, and we will be returning! They allowed us to put our strollers off the the side and were helpful when we left.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. We were seated and served really fast. The danish pancakes were so good, as well as the two egg breakfast. The place is really charming and everyone is really friendly.

Appetite struck while strolling through Solvang. Decided on Solvang Restaurant. There was a wait but seated fairly quickly. Once we were seated, we started off with mimosas, served in individual mini champagne bottles and delicious orange juice. It was brunch. So we got the sausage platter and the...Read More

Very cute local spot - similar to a US diner but with a Danish twist! Must try the Æbleskiver, they were delicious. I also had the open faced sandwich which was filling and tasty.

Great breakfast spot. So much on the menu, so there’s something for everyone from the regular US affair, to some things that were more Danish-inspired. I would recommend this place to a friend visiting the town for sure.
