Description

[edit]

Broder (Swedish for "Brother")[4] refers to a small chain of Scandinavian restaurants in Oregon. There are locations in Portland, Hood River, and Astoria. The menu includes æbleskiver,[5] a breakfast sandwich with eggs,[6] lemon-dill pesto,[7] and trout hash.[8] Broder has also served bacon, fritters,[9] lamb burgers,[10] meatballs, Danish pancakes with lemon curd and lingonberry jam,[11][12] Bloody Marys,[13] and Swedish coffee.[14]

History and locations

[edit]

The business is co-owned by Peter Bro and Martin Hulth.[15]

Broder Café,[16] also known as Café Broder or simply Broder,[17][18] operates on Clinton Street in Southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood.[19][20] American chef Andrew Zimmern visited the eatery for an episode of the Travel Channel series The Zimmern List.[21]

In North Portland, Broder Nord opened on North Interstate Avenue, in the space previously occupied by Gotham Tavern.[22][23][24] It had a seating capacity of approximately 90 people and featured a grab-and-go market.[25][26] The restaurant relocated from Interstate Avenue to Mississippi Avenue,[10] in the Boise neighborhood. In 2024, Broder Nord launched a hotdog window called Bra Hund (Swedish for "good dog").[27]

Broder Söder ("South" in Swedish) operates in Southwest Portland.[28][29][30] It opened on August 4, 2015.[31]

Broder Øst operates in Hood River.[32][33] The eatery's name translates to "Brotherly East" in Norwegian.[34] Chad Hinman, a longtime manager at the original restaurant,[35] is a co-owner.[36]

Broder Strand opened in Astoria in 2023.[37]
