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.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

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
