Taste of Denmark

It is the only Danish restaurant in SoCal. So you should not miss it. Menu is simple. Owners were very friendly and took care of us during the whole meal. We received a appetizer ( danish bread, some red cabbage, and strawberries) which was very tasty. Food is fresh and made upon order. Quantity is big. You will feel full for sure. The only thing that could be improved is offering some vegetarian/vegan options. It would be very wonderful.

I was so glad to finally visit Taste of Denmark. Having lived in Sweden, any Scandinavian experience is fun and reminiscent of my time in Sweden so I try to find anything from the Nordic nations to get just a little bit of that taste again. It did not disappoint, although I wasn’t able to order æbleskiver during my visit. I ordered the tartlet and my husband had the meatballs. Both dishes were rich and had big portions, but most of all were very authentic. I will be back!

Amazing hole in the wall to try authentic Danish cuisine. Owned by a husband and wife who moved from Denmark 5 years ago. She waited on me and was super friendly. Rye bread was loaded with seeds and nuts and exceptionally dense. Sweet pickles and remoulade were delicious, especially on the pickled herring open faced sandwich. Smoked salmon, avocado, and roast beef also available for the less daring. Be sure to get a fresh Danish pastry, easily the best in town!

this simple but legitimately Danish cafe offers that craveable rye bread (baked in house!) pickled herring, smoked salmon, pickled cabbage, roasted pork and all manner of deliciousness. the husband preps the food and the wife is front of house staff - can’t say enough good things about this homey little spot. be patient and you will be rewarded with Danish goodies!

This place is a hidden gem and incredibly delicious. Push past the unassuming no fuss menus and grab a table and try it! I don’t think you will be disappointed. Don’t believe me? Look at their Instagram and the incredibly beautiful food there. We had the hot smoked salmon and the meatballs and gravy and it was great. They started us with a complimentary appetizer that included their homemade rye bread. Finally we had the pancake balls.

We tried #tasteofdenmark and enjoyed all their dishes. Their #danish version of a #hotdog and #hamburger were a great variety from the usual. I can’t find the other things we ate on the online menu but it was worth a try if you want something unique. Tina really cares about the food she puts out. Don’t miss the fresh bread they make. #truetasteofdenmark . . . . . . #sdrestaurants #sdrestaurant #sandiegorestaurants #sandiegorestaurant #eatsd #eatsandiego #sandiegoeats #sandiegoeatslocal #sandiegoeatsgood #diningout #diningoutsd #danishfood #danishrestaurant

Excellent service, super friendly and tried to accommodate our needs. Food is awesome. I especially love the mayo and the rye bread. The meatball and gravy is also great.

Really cute little place with perfect lunch options. The open faced sandwiches are always fresh and are made with a special seeded rye bread which is very satisfying. The soups are cozy and delicious, and their meatballs very tender, and the Danish pastries are top notch. The pork is flavorful but sometimes a little salty for me. They're very accommodating of food allergies. The patio is dog friendly and their takeout is just as good as in person.
