Solvang Restaurant

Solvang Restaurant
Home of Arne’s Famous Æbleskiver

Located in the heart of downtown Solvang at 1672 Copenhagen Drive, Solvang Restaurant is a beloved local gem and a must-visit for anyone exploring the Danish Village. We’re best known for our world-famous Danish Æbleskiver—delightfully fluffy pancake balls served warm with raspberry jam and a dusting of powdered sugar. Whether enjoyed as a dessert or paired with traditional Medisterpølse sausage for a hearty meal, they’re a treat you won’t forget.

Step inside and you’ll find more than just a meal. Our restaurant features:

Handcrafted Danish woodwork by the late Ferd Sorensen, knighted by the Queen of Denmark
Authentic village crests, Danish proverbs, and Hans Christian Andersen murals
A cozy, storybook atmosphere full of Solvang charm

We’re open daily at 7 a.m., closing at 3 p.m. weekdays, 5 p.m. weekends, and 4 p.m. during summer months. Open most holidays—call or email us for seasonal hours!
