My partner and I had terrific food and wonderful service here! Tina and her husband are really quite special, and their care and attention to detail shows. In addition to food and drink, they have some delicious Danish candy for sale. We cannot recommend them any higher, and will definitely visit when we are in San Diego!

We had a delightful and delicious experience at the Taste of Denmark, the best meal we’ve had in some time and certainly the best service too. The Grill Bar Burger was just perfect - juicy and flavorful. And we loved the balance of flavors - a little punch for the pickled cabbage, the creaminess from the remoulade and the crunch from the cracklings. Their rye bread paired with their remoulade was like nothing I’ve had before with whole sunflower seeds throughout the bread, the texture was such a nice surprise. Can’t wait to come back to buy a whole loaf of it. We loved the service and learning more about Danish food. There clearly is so much care taken with the preparation of the food and sourcing of the ingredients. We are so super lucky to have this unique restaurant in the neighborhood. ❤️

Food was delicious but also fairly heavy with the sauces. I might ask for sauce on the side. Hotdog has a great pop and meatballs were delicious. Also justa heads up the burger is made with pork belly, not ground meat.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.
