What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Brŏder Sŏder is a hidden gem (like "You're not in Beaverton anymore, Dorothy") in the Scandinavian Nordia House cultural center. From the stunning entryway to the last bite of Æbleskiver, what a wonderful brunch experience. The dishes were elegant with simple, fresh ingredients. Beautiful presentation and flavors. Service was welcoming with attention to detail. The atmosphere: the wood-slat ceiling and décor brings warmth to the large, open space. Loved that there was a hum of chatter with music at the perfect volume for a convo (Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel; Both Sides Now, Tonic Mitchell; Lady, The Commodores). Can't wait to go back."
"Broder Soder is amazing not just from a food and beverage perspective (which is delicious), but also from a cultural perspective. Since they don't do reservations at time of writing, there's likely always a bit of a wait, and immersing yourself in the cultural offerings and the Ole Bolle Troll are a wonderful way to pass the time. The food itself is incredible. The lefse plate is delicious and savory, and I can't recommend the lox sandwich any higher- just as good as the old historical benchmarks in NYC, although a different styling, of course. The drinks are also a delight- Holiday Gogg was yummy and warming, and the hot chocolate and mochas were amazing and soothing. The abelskiver is a must-buy and is the perfect start to your meal and always a delight! Cannot recommend any higher!"
"Party of 4. Service was excellent. Space is beautiful, clean, and airy. Food was delicious, plentiful, but 2 of our entrees arrived after they'd cooled a bit. Did not stop us from enjoying the meal. Outdoor seating is well-behaved dog friendly. We will be back"
"Delicious Nordic brunch spot! Loved the Savory Lefse Breakfast — crispy potato crepes with runny eggs and red pepper coulis. The Shaved Ham Benedict was hearty and flavorful, and the Æbleskiver were the perfect sweet finish. Cozy vibe, great service."
"Super sweet server (Casey?) made our visit a pleasure. A little wait, but very worth it (see pix.) Highly recommend the Steelhead Benedict. Don't miss a walk on the grounds after your Ebelskivers to see the Troll House. Priced fairly for the quality, portion size, & overall experience. Not to be missed if you're visiting PDX."
"Coming to this cafe was my first time having Swedish brunch! I was surprised by the options on the menu (not being familiar with many of them). Checking..."
