    Burger
    Kaori T.

    Great service! I'd like to come back here and try other things, noteably the chicken sandwich which seems like the thing to get! Opted for a burger, and though it was good - it just felt lackluster. My beau called his salad "boring" which is a first (as he is the healthiest eater I know). They gave us a great seat with little room to spare for closing so that was very nice of them. Love the atmosphere. Felt very homey and comfortable.

    Key Lime Pie. Perfect ratio if sweet and sour and textures
    Reina C.

    If you're in Solvang, this place is a MUST! I came here for lunch right when it opened at 11am on a weekday and within 11:30am the place was already getting packed. The chicken sandwich would be my favorite entree of the 3 entrees I tried. My table ordered a different item on the menu with a different side so we could sample and share everything. I really liked the corn soup. French dip was good but it personally wasn't my favorite. I'm also normally not a key lime pie person but I read the reviews and it convinced me to try it. It was a good balance of sweet and sour ratio as well as balanced texture. The top reminded me of a toasted marshmallow. If I ever do come back to Solvang, I'll be sure to come back here and try the grilled cheese. I also wanted to try the Mac and cheese but we had already ordered too much. So until next time....

    Solvang chicken and mushroom tacos

    We came here on a Friday around 1:45pm. We were seated immediately in the patio since we had our dog with us. Not too long after us several groups came and the wait quickly became 30-40 min. Seems like they're busy even on off hours and rightfully so! The solvang chicken sandwich was so juicy and tender! I'd def come back for that. The ambience inside and outside had such a cozy vibe to it.

    Amazing French Dip sandwich!

    If you were to tell me that I'd visit Solvang twice in a year I'd say "yeah right". If you added that I'd also be dining at Peasant FEAST both those times I'd say "REALLY!!!?" PF is an exceptional restaurant that serves exceptional food. I've only been here twice and the second time was better than the 1st. My only disappointment was that I couldn't get what I got on my 1st visit in February. And ya know what? That's ok. It presented the opportunity to try new things! This time I got at their French dip sandwich with a side of potatoes. OOF! If it's on the menu do try it and wash it down with a cold beer (or wine is nice too). The service was as excellent as the 1st time and the vibe also perfect. The patio area is pet friendly so sure bring your fur baby along (they'll bring out some water for them too!) Overall: Yes there are many fine dining establishments in Solvang to try but I'm telling you...this is the only spot I want to stay true to. Misc: They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays so plan accordingly. Enjoy!

    Brussels salad (gluten-free)
    Stephanie J.

    Truly dog friendly! Enjoyed lunch on the patio with hubs and pup. Staff very attentive to food allergies/aversions - made sure my order was gluten-free. Shared the Brussels salad - would have it again BUT ask for "light cheese". Never thought I'd say this but way too much cheese . Hubs enjoyed the pastrami smoked salmon sandwich.

    Brussels Sprouts Salad
    Joyce Z.

    My favorite restaurant in Solvang has to be our lunch at Peasants Feast, especially with the appearance of the horse drawn carriage from our patio table. The pastrami smoked salmon sandwich does not actually have pastrami but the pastrami spices are present in each bite of the smoked salmon. It worked so well, I wish I didn't have to share but with so much good food, unless my stomach is bigger, sharing allowed me to try more things. I was so happy that we had an option to have a cup of butternut squash soup with that sandwich making it the perfect soup and sandwich combo. The shaved Brussel Sprouts salad is so addictive that I couldn't stop eating it and was a great way to get more veggies in our diet. Even though I over ordered to try everything I wanted, shaved Brussels Sprouts salad, halibut tacos and pastrami smoked salmon sandwich with a cup of butternut squash soup, I regretted not coming back for dinner to have it all over again.

    Gold Coast Grilled Cheese (bottom side up view)
    Mark K.

    This place is right downtown and has a lovely patio and dining area, and is always popular, so when I saw a chance for a late lunch without crowds, I jumped into action - and I'm glad I did! For my first visit, I am now a fan. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, with lots of natural light. I was quickly seated by a large window that looked out onto an area with tables for a bakery next door. Ideas for dessert? The menu is varied enough for folks, and I focused on the Gold Coast Grilled Cheese sandwich (sharp cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella, caramelized onions, parmesan crisp, The Baker's Table pain au levain vegetarian) with a choice of sides. I had also noticed a new offering, a creamy Fennel soup with local olive oil, and toasted almonds. I choose a cup of that soup for a side. The sandwich and soup came together, and the soup was steamy hot - literally! The sandwich has a side served up with grilled parmesan cheese, and the opposite side (or flip side, as I want to say) has the traditional grilled look. I have photos of both sides here. The soup was indeed creamy, and at one point I was trying to figure out how to answer someone who asks, "What does it taste like?" And I still don't have an answer. However, it does have a slight herbal licorice taste, but not at all overwhelming, and if you don't eat licorice, you may notice it but not be able to place it. However, if you don't like licorice, I think you would still enjoy this soup, as the flavor is very subtle. It was extremely delicious. The sandwich, with the parmesan crisp and mixed cheeses, was very cheesy, and I loved that. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service wonderful, with water refills on cue and quick service for ordering and closing out the bill. My server, Maggie, was top notch - thank you! If you are in Solvang and want a quality meal at a decent price (for Solvang) come here, and if they are less busy than usual, all the better!

    Spicy chicken sammy
    Erik N.

    That spicy chicken sammy was so delicious, it was almost too hot. Almost. The place also has a real nice atmosphere and nice bathrooms. Def wanna come back here!

    Hot chicken sandwich
    Naomi W.

    What an amazing spot! Was in town for a few hours and stumbled upon a friend's recommendation for Peasants Feast. Michelin bib gourmand for a good reason! I got the hot chicken sandwich and WOW. Chicken was perfectly fried and seasoned and the added cabbage and herbs made it feel so fresh and light. 10/10 recommend the sandwich. My parents got the grilled cheese, also delicious but still cannot get over the chicken sandwich. Got the frozen lime pie dessert and also was delicious. Interior is very cute and cozy and they have outdoor seating as well. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Kids menu

    I'm the type of person who researches a place before visiting - spending the weekend in Solvang last week was no different. I kept coming across peasants FEAST and knew my family and I had to add it to our list. They were Michelin recognized in 2024! We decided to check them out for lunch on a Saturday, we showed up right when they opened and got a nice seat outside on their patio. The restaurant slowly started filling up more and more after we got there so glad we arrived when we did! They do not take reservations so it is first come, first served. We ordered the Kids Orecchiette with Butter, Lil McFeast Burger and the Solvang Hot Chicken. We got some drinks on the side as well including the Fresh Squeezed Lemonade which my daughter was obsessed with. I really enjoyed the food - it was fresh and well seasoned throughout. I asked for less spice on my Hot Chicken, but it was still spicy and tasty! Overall, it was a good meal, not my favorite of the trip, but still worth checking out for sure! Service was also spot on and she gave great recommendations! We would definitely give them another shot next time we're in Solvang! I really want to check out the Pastrami Smoked Salmon Sandwich and the Nannie's Frozen Lime Pie next time! Check them out!

    wonderful restaurant that deserves its spot on the michelin guide! everything was well worth the money and sitting through the heat for. you can find lots of public lots/street parking nearby! we came around 1:00pm as a table of 5 and beat the late lunch rush so we had no wait (to sit outside). some of the chairs do burn up if they're not in the shade so beware if you're wearing shorts or a skirt. we ordered three of their chicken sandwiches and one burger. i asked for my spice on the side since i didn't know how spicy it'd be, and they were able to accommodate! friends said the burger was the juiciest burger they've ever had, and everyone raved about the buns and the crispy potatoes. the salad was also really solid and helped break up the greasiness well. the chicken sandwich was incredibly juicy and held its crunch well. everything was fantastic! if you're willing to share as a table, i would have half of the people get salads and half get the potatoes. while they are good, the portions of potato are HUGE and we ended up having leftovers too! my one very minor gripe was i think the potatoes needed more salt out the fryer. that's literally it HA i'm okay with it being pricy because the chefs know what they're doing here for realsies. servers were nice as well! would definitely revisit to try something else

    Mushroom Tacos
    Diana T.

    Mushroom tacos were a good vegetarian option, but it needed more flavor! Salsa on the side would have been good too. Our friends enjoyed the grilled cheese and BLT

    Hot chicken sandwich
    Tammye B.

    Percent lunch spot. The outside seating has enough shade and the line was super short at opening. Shauna was our server. She was super friendly and answered all our questions. The wine selection was good and the food menu had a variety options. The portions were bigger than expected. We got the hot chicken sandwich and potatoes and the Kobe dip with the tomato soup. I have to say that the soup was my favorite thing there. I could of eaten a giant bowl.

This place is non-descript yet just off the main park downtown, and an easy walk from most of the major hotels in town, or the central parking lot - plus lots of street parking as well. It seems rather small, with one area for bar seating and small tables, plus a larger dining area "next door" to the bar, but I like the bar ambiance, so it may be challenging on busy tourist days. Luckily, I travel on non-busy days and have always had a good seat. The ambiance is great, with a typical, colorfully decorated pub feel with TVs offering an invitation to relax and have a pint - or two! The menu is varied, and I had planned for what I wanted, but when the server/bartender/boss offered the daily special as an option, I quickly jumped at the chance. The special was a queso dip with house-made chips, and I had to try it! Sadly, I also ordered my usual, the Cobb salad. Sadly, because after the "appetizer" arrived, I quickly realized the full consequences of the saying "your eyes are bigger than your stomach!" The dip and chips were plentiful in both, and for me would have made a great meal on their own. But I was committed and managed to finish the salad. On my previous visit, I had the mac 'n cheese and the Cobb salad, along with a Guinness dark! That was sooo tasty as well! The food at this visit was great, and the service was as well. Sam, who is the owner, bartender, server, and jack-of-all-trades, is always friendly, professional, and efficient, no matter how busy it is, and this visit was the only one outside the kitchen. If you're in the area, give them a try! And leave room for dessert - I have yet to do that, but you can learn from my mistakes!

The spicy wings had great flavor--more on the spicy side than "hot," which honestly made them even better and more enjoyable. The Reuben with onion rings was done right--classic, satisfying, and the onion rings were perfectly cooked with a great crisp. The bread on the sandwich had the perfect crisp as well, which really brought it all together. And the standout was the spicy melt burger. My friend ordered it medium rare, and it came out perfectly medium rare--juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly as requested (which doesn't always happen, so that's worth noting). Everything was executed really well, and you can tell they take pride in the kitchen. Easy 5 stars. Would definitely come back.

To the restaurant's credit, they quickly apologized and replaced the food without any issue, which we appreciated. While the service hiccups were an inconvenience, the staff handled the situation professionally.

When we got to her counter, she seemed annoyed and said that the Amber Beer we wanted wasn't served at her bar and we had to go to the smaller one down the walkway (the Amber was on her menu board, by the way). We got to the smaller bar where the smart guy was and he said he could get us the drink but needed to go to the larger bar we just came from because that's where the tap is. We told him what the woman said and he just shook his head and apologized. This adventure alone took a good 25 minutes. Next up, the food. We saw a sausage combo plate that a young female waitress was carrying and asked if they were different sausages, her reply was "No, All three are the same". We asked the only bartender we could trust and he said they were all different and described in detail what they were a the flavor profile. I thought the ambiance was nice and Danish but the beer and the combo plate was just ok. The owners need to do some remedial training with the staff and teach them how to not only speak with customers but to know what they are serving and where to get it. No pics necessary, but I'd love to go back and allow them to do it again and I will improve my review.

The dish comes with large florets of cauliflower, so we had to cut it up into smaller pieces. For my entree, I got the Local Miso Black Cod with spinach, sesame dressing, and miso butter. The fish was moist and flakey. I enjoyed it! I also tried the New Zealand Rack of Lamb that had asparagus ratatouille, crispy potatoes, and lamb jus. This dish was not bad, but the portion seemed a bit small for the price.

    I'd Gather Not One…read moreof Solvang's newest restaurants isn't known for its æbleskivers or Danishes, but rather for French-Asian fusion, and is led by Indonesian-born head chef and co-owner, Budi Kazali. They promise to bring you bold flavors using fresh seasonal ingredients in an elegant but approachable space. The Good: * Reservations via OpenTable™ * Free street and city lot parking nearby. * Dog-friendly outdoor dining * Right on the downtown strip in Solvang, next to our favorite bakery. * Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) was delicious and hit all the right notes. The fried chicken add-on was a different story, though... See below. * Caesar Salad had a delicious flavor, but Carissa found the salad to be a bit overdressed for her liking. I didn't mind it, but I like an obscene amount of dressing on my salads, so go figure? Salmon was a little undercooked for her liking, but again, I wouldn't mind it a bit pink. So, comme ci, comme ça. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Meh: * Not all the outdoor spaces are shaded/covered. * Prices are a bit absurd for certain items. Yeah, I know it's über-touristy Solvang, but jfc. $12-14 for a beer? And don't get me started on $12 for some of the blandest and most minuscule serving of fried chicken ever. * We arrived ten minutes early for our reservation, and the hostess seemed very annoyed that we were. In fact, she made us wait until it was time for our reservation to the very minute--despite the restaurant being at less than 10% capacity. * Service wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't say it was good, either. More on this below. The Ugly: * I ordered the Hazy IPA they had on tap, and when it arrived, I could tell it wasn't a particularly "hazy" Hazy IPA. But I figured some are better than others. For my second drink, I asked for the Clown Shoes IPA they had in a can. When the waitress returned with it, she admitted that the first beer she'd brought me was actually the same Clown Shoes IPA. Apparently, they'd run out of the Hazy IPA and decided to make the substitution without asking me. It's not a huge deal--I probably would have made the same substitution myself--but I definitely wouldn't have ordered a second one if I'd known it was the only IPA they had in-house. Like I said, it's not the end of the world, but for some reason, it just feels a little devious. Would they have made a substitution without asking a wine connoisseur? I would hope not, but now it kind of makes you wonder. Conclusion: Not a great experience here, from the hostess to the waitress to the food. I wish them luck.
