Restaurants
 Food
lovers really appreciate Solvang. They adore the
Danish pastries, cookies and breads prepared in
our bakeries, and they relish the frikadeller
(meat balls), medisterpolse (sausages) and
rodkaal (red cabbage) served in many
restaurants. No visit is complete without
tasting aebleskiver, the jam-draped, powdered
sugar-dusted Danish pancake balls. But visitors
also can choose from a wide variety of
restaurants preparing traditional American and
ethnic cuisine.
