The Best Places to Eat Around the Santa Ynez Valley

"There’s no better way to start the day than with a proper Danish breakfast. While the wait times at the more popular morning spots in Solvang, like Paula’s Pancake House, can be daunting, there’s usually ample room at Ellen’s Danish Pancake House. Opened in 1947, the local favorite turns out Danish-style breakfasts, pancakes, and other diner staples in a boisterous room." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
