"It may seem impossible to be even more charming than its Solvang surroundings, but peasants FEAST doubles down, and delivers. This daytime-only café from Michael and Sarah Cherney spotlights the seasons on its sandwich-driven menu. There's nothing ho-hum about what's between the bread here. Instead, the cooking is all heart and the selections show off a unique creativity (cue the pastrami smoked salmon sandwich). A cup of soup is the ideal partner—the carrot soup finished with Calabrian chili oil is a gratifying choice. Specials always deserve a glance, since items like the delectable beet greens grilled cheese appear daily.Dashing off to the next winery? Pop across the street to peasants DELI for picnic-ready rations." - Michelin Inspector
"Comfort food reigns supreme at Peasants Feast, where burgers, tacos, and what may be the best fried chicken sandwich in a 100-mile radius headline the menu. Owners Michael and Sarah Cherney approach each dish with care, a connection to local farms and producers, and an eye toward feeding regulars and travelers alike. This small cozy corner of Solvang buzzes daily, especially on weekends, where families can be found on the wrap-around patio or perched at sleekly appointed wooden tables inside." - Nicole Adlman
