We just arrived in Portland the day before, so we were excited to try some of the local restaurants. Our son surprised us and brought us to Broder Cafe. He was extremely excited himself, so we knew we were in for a treat.
The menu was unique, so I knew I had to study it to make sure I picked the perfect meal. I was certainly excited to see it, and it didn't disappoint.
Our meals were something that we've never tried before and simply delicious.
If you are in this area of Portland...stop by and see for yourself. You may have a hard time deciding, but I assure you that whatever you choose, it will bring a smile to your face.
I definitely need to talk about the waitress and waiter who helped us. I wish I had gotten their names as they are truly an asset to your business. They were pleasant, knowledgeable, and excited about everything they said. They simply made our experience even more enjoyable.
Thank you for making our time with you memorable. It was an amazing dining experience!!
It’s something different for sure. Tired of American style breakfast so I come here for try. Warming! It’s a long wait (an hour) so be sure you come early or pick a less busy day.
Food is really creamy and cheesy. I don’t hate it at all, it’s something new to me I think it’s actually good! The price are reasonable… you may think it’s not a lot of food based on the picture but it’s a lot! Don’t order too much!
So, so, so good!! There was about a 30 minute wait on a Saturday morning and it was so worth it. I'm gluten free and they have gluten free menu items or ones they can alter to make gf, the waitress was very knowledgeable! I had the lost eggs with gluten free toast and gf panko crumbs. Best gluten free bread I've had in my 3+ years of being gluten free. The espresso martini was strong and yummy. The potato pancake is gluten free and so good with the jam. 1000% recommend this place!!
The kind of food you want to eat when it’s cold and raining outside. We shared the house-smoked trout hash and meatballs, which were very hearty and filling. We enjoyed the meatballs especially, and the accompanying creamy sherry and lingonberry sauces. Although it’s a bit of a cramped space, our counter seats allowed us a great view of the preparation of our food.

Wow wow wow, this place is good
Coming after hiking Multuonmah Falls, we wanted food that was both hearty and healthy, and we couldn't of been more pleased with Broder. While I wasn't exhilerated by looking at the menu at first glance, it didn't take long for me to realize why this place was able to expand into 2 other locations and is a local favorite.
Our waiter was great, she was knowledgable on the food and even gave us the pronounciations of the different cuisines. We decided to each get a main and nibble on some of the other foods.
AEBESKIVER (8/10)
Its not often that I like to start of my lunch with sweets, but these little puffies were very flavorful and the included lemon curd and jam added more yumminess. Really good for a group.
BORDER BORD (9/10)
The menu said "great for sharing" and it is very true. This board of cheeses, trout, veggies, and crackers gives you a small glimpse of the various flavors you get in the main course. The cheese was soft but bold, with a great creamy flavor with just a hint of subtle sweentess, it all combined very well.
TUNNBRODSRULLE (9/10)
I was expecting a hot dog and instead I got a sandwich with incredible pickeld vegtables and a delicious sausage stuffed inside. I loved every bit of it, using my fork to finish it as it started to fall apart a bit. There was a really good crispness with the vegtables and while the hot dog wasn't huge, it packed a really good amount of tanginess that stuck with me.
Other things I nibbled on:
LAMB BURGER - This wasn't pink like a normal burger, but the goat cheese on it was shockinly yummy and allowed the chewy meet to sit just right
KOTBULLAR - Oh these meatballs were gooood. I really liked how soft they were while still having a meaty tase. The jam was a little sweet, but it included bread to help balance everything out.
Broder Cafe is one of the more memorable meals we had in Portland. It had an incredible friendy staff, and unique Scandanavian food that was flavorful and fun. Highly reccomend checking this out.
We were in Denmark and Norway last month and wanted to satisfy our cravings for Scandinavian fare. Broder never disappoints. In fact, you’ll find an outpost of Broder at Nordic Northwest, a Scandinavian nonprofit in SW Portland.
Since brunch is a competitive sport in Portland we like to go early, put our name down on clipboard, and wait for them to officially open. You can help yourself to a hot cup of coffee too.
My favorite is the Lost Eggs, which has thinly sliced, flaky ham with eggs, spinach, cream, and a crunchy panko topping. My husband enjoyed the Swedish hash. There’s an extensive drink menu with an aromatic turmeric latte we order every time. You can order off the lunch menu for breakfast, so if you’re craving smørrebrod with your morning coffee, no problem.
If you’re lucky, you may even spot a Hollywood celebrity having a super low key breakfast like we did last year. (“Frodo!!!”)
Food and drinks were amazing. Our server was also incredibly nice and attentive!
My only complaint is the seating accommodations. Tons of seats outside but no heaters to keep it comfortable in the winter- at least on my visit a week ago.
For the price and caliber that this restaurant is on, it would be nice to see a more comfortable outdoor set up for the winter months.
Such a great meal and experience. The food was incredible and the service was top notch! The golden milk latte was so good!
OUTSTANDING!! New favorite brunch spot!
Every dish was delicious, service was wonderful and vibe is great!
Delicious brunch place for a spot of Scandinavian(particularly Swedish) food! 😋😋
They’ve long wait times - is recommend being there when they open. My friends and a I were there 5 minutes after opening and had to wait 10-15 minutes! But it was worth the wait. The food was delicious!! I tried their Finish oatmeal pancakes - it was yummy and so unlike any oatmeal I’ve had before! I loved the pancakes too! With the lingonberry jam and lemon curd - 🤤😋
If you’re in Portland, don’t miss out on this place! 🙂
