“Such a cute little place with amazing owners. Had lunch here and knew nothing about Danish food. The owner was so informative and we went with her suggestions. I loved the rye bread but my son said he wasn't sure it had enough bread to be called so 😆 Do make sure you end your meal with a danish. And make sure to order it at the start of your meal so they can get it into the oven. If I'd known how delicious they would be I'd have ordered more to go. I had planned to share the one I ordered but it went directly into my mouth. The chocolate milk typically drank in Denmark with the hotdogs was so good. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items on the menu. And the juices! My son is already planning to take his wife so you know it was good. Parking can be difficult. You will pay for it. In the heart of Hillcrest. We strolled over to No 1 after. So fun! Tables inside and out. And other bakeries nearby if you have a sweet tooth like me“

“Our experience at Alforon Mediterranean Lebanese Cuisine was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we felt the big hearts of the owners and their genuine love for what they do. Their hospitality is warm, personal, and sincere. They make you feel like you are a guest in their home, not just a customer in a restaurant.

The food is incredibly authentic, rich in flavor, beautifully prepared, and made with such care. Every dish tastes homemade, fresh, and comforting, like you’re enjoying a meal at your family’s table. You can also tell how clean and well-maintained everything is, which makes the experience even more enjoyable and reassuring.

The location is in an amazing spot, easy to access, and perfect whether you’re dining with family or friends. I also love the variety on the menu.

If you’re looking for authentic food, exceptional hospitality, and a place that truly feels like home, Alforon is a must-visit in San Diego. Highly recommended! 🤍“
