peasants DELI & ARCADE — Restaurant in Solvang

Okay so first trip to Solvang ever! I read amazing reviews about this place, and it really good! But to be honest, it wasn’t nearly as amazing as people made it sound. It’s a GOOD sandwich (I had the Mortadella with everything on it), but a couple notes (this is for me personally:

1. sandwich was PACKED with delicious ingredients, but I didn’t feel like they jived together. They tasted separate as opposed to one amazing flavorful bite.

2. the bread was amazing! Truly great, nothing wrong there.

3. Get the sandwich how YOU want it. I’m the kind of guy who can eat anything, but I wouldn’t get the house spread and sauces they thee on there again. I think that’s potentially what brought disharmony to the sandwich for me.

Atmosphere is SUPER awesome, nice outdoor seating and the woman working front of house was really nice!!

TLDR: Would come back again, but take my expectations down and make the sandwich EXACTLY what I want. It’s a pricey sandwich for the high-quality ingredients, so that’s worth it if you...

We were waiting for our table at Peasants Feast when we walked across to street to look into the Peasants Deli. We quickly changed our minds and decided on the deli, over the sit-down restaurant. What a great decision. Even tho we had several people in our group we were able to find seating on the indoor and outdoor tables. Between us, we order just about all the sandwich options available. And we can confidently say we made the right choice with the deli over the Feast restaurant. I got the hot pastrami sandwich which was so good. One drawback, I should have asked for melted cheese as that is my preference for hot pastrami sandwiches. And the lady behind the counter taking our order was awesome. Even tho it was busy, she was quick and accurate to take care of all of our special orders and helping with other needs. Even getting a cup of ice from next door for me. We will definitely be going back to Peasants Deli the next time we...

I've already shared this on Yelp, but I'll share here again too.

These are perhaps some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I can't even begin to describe the flavors, but the combination of ingredients in the sandwiches were perfect. My friends and I shared "The Godfather" and also "Chopped Italian Sandwich", and we were thoroughly impressed.

The deli is a small spot with some limited seating in the shop, but there is an additional arcade area where there is more seating available.

I believe Sarah, one of the owners, may have been the person who helped us with our orders. The day we came in, it was raining hard, so being in this shop was a pleasant surprise with its cozy décor and comforting space to take a break from the weather. The place also has a very clean restroom, which is always something I appreciate.

I wish I could take home sandwiches as souvenirs...
