Everything we tried was wonderful. And the servers were so friendly, but not in that weird , "hi friends, how are we today? Way" (hate that...) Americanos.... Wow. So smooth. Heated half and half. We got the half order baked porridge, baked eggs with walnut toast and the breakfast hash with trout. We left satisfied and wishing we lived nearby. read more

We had planned a stop at Hood River as a fuel-stop and found this place as a nearby restaurant serving an early breakfast. Serendipity is so wonderful! Street parking, right next to the Mt. Hood Hotel (part of it?). Lovely decor, outside tables were set up but a little too chilly that morning. Loved the large bar and small tables setup with an inside set of booths. Friendly and warm service, coffee was served in glass mugs, felt like home :) We ordered the trout hash and the onion+mushroom hash. Both were unique and delicious! Served with warm walnut bread, just delightful! Highly recommend a stopover if driving through or even stopping for a hike at the nearby falls. read more

A really neat Swedish brunch spot located conveniently in the Hood River Hotel lobby. The old school fireplace creates a really cozy vibe. Note it could get busy on the weekends and service may get backed up, leave extra time if needed. The menu consists of traditional Swedish dishes. Highlights include: the Danish pancakes and smoked trout. The pancakes were super soft and paired perfectly with the maple syrup. For protein choice definitely go for the trout; it's smoked really well and the saltiness goes well with everything. Overall a great brunch spot, we'd recommend! read more

Food: 3/5 I got the Swedish hash with beef. It was nothing special to be honest and the eggs were overdone and rubbery. Just a normal hash for an overpriced price Service: 3/5 Staff was nice and friendly, but the food took a long time to come out read more

I've eaten here many times over the years and it's fantastic every time. The food is well-seasoned, fresh and delicious. At our most recent visit, Blake was wonderful. He was super-friendly and helpful and suggested a pesto that paired perfectly with our meal. Looking forward to coming back ASAP. read more

This place is a delight! If you're unfamiliar with Scandinavian style breakfast, I don't think there's a better chance to try it! Waitstaff was attentive and friendly, everything we tried was delicious and my husband really enjoyed the smoked trout! I loved the fruit fritters and sausage and the fact that they actually heated the cream for my coffee! Definitely a great place to enjoy breakfast/brunch in Hood River!!! read more

This is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Such a unique spot. The location is beautiful. Service was lovely. The food was so flavorful. I loved the pickled veggies and toast. My husband got these crepes with creamy goat cheese and a side salad. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot in the area! Super yummy, flavorful, and actually feels like real food which can be hard to come by atmosphere is cute but service does take a while! We didn't mind it as it allows us to chat more butttt for those in a rush not your place -- it's like a calming, breakfast charm that you don't wanna rush :) read more

Crazy different food. Breakfast is the best. Love coming here and always feel full and satisfied. Wait staff is usually great and friendly.

What a great find. Stopped for a Sunday brunch on a beautiful sunny drive home from Portland. On Main stream so was worried about parking, but luckily found a spot fairly close. Ordered based on previous reviews and it so worked out. Had great fluffy Danish pancakes, look like donut holes but tastes like the fluffiest pancakes. And both the lemon curd and the lingonberry jam were outstanding. We also had the fruit fritters and baked eggs and sausage which was also great. Overall not a bad bite to be had. The place was busy and fairly crowded and loud, which was OK, but if you are looking for quiet and relaxing, this is not the place for you. read more

We came at 9am on Sunday and were told it would be a 20 minute wait for a table. We were seated at 9:30am and our order was taken immediately by very friendly staff. The coffee came out right away and was refilled 4 times before the food came. 1 hour to wait for a charcuterie board and some donuts is insane. The place was half empty and still we waited an hour for the food to come. I expected it to be amazing because of how highly reviewed this place is, but honestly everything was average. Basic charcuterie board, the pancakes were just fried dough, the fritters were fried dough, the porridge was wildly average. Genuinely not worth waiting over an hour. read more

Wow, absolutely fabulous Swedish breakfast/lunch spot! My husband and I came here for the first time last month after we picked up our marriage license and were delighted at our experience at Broder Øst! The service was efficient and friendly as well as helpful! When we came back with my youngest brother our server recommended the breakfast sandwich with a potato pancake side to put inside it and it was phenomenal! He said it's the best breakfast sandwich he's had! The ambiance is cozy Scandinavian (Hygge!). We had such a nice meal that we made sure to come back before leaving town after our wedding! We recommended it to all of our friends and family who were in town for our wedding as well! read more

Nice little restaurant attached to a hotel. We were told that there would be about a 20 minute wait before being sat down, which is understandable. Did see that about half the restaurant was empty though, so figure they were just a bit behind on orders. We were promptly sat right at the 20 minute mark then immediately had our order taken which was good. But then we waited about 50 minutes for our food to arrive which was a bit frustrating. I personally would not have minded to have waited longer for a seat if it meant getting our food sooner, we could have used that time to walk around the city center, or may have considered an alternative for a quicker breakfast. Once we did get our food, it was ok, nothing spectacular in my opinion. I would say it offers some more traditional and unique options, but personally do not think it's worth the wait. Giving it 2 stars moreso for the atmosphere and staff, and because the food was unique in that instance. But I would say this is a spot to go to if you have no rush or plans made for the day, good for those willing to wait or take breakfast nice and slow. read more

Food was good! We drove here to check out the area and my cousin recommended this restaurant. It took quite some time to just put our name down for seating (they dont have a lot of servers) and then about an hour before being seated. We were warned about their slowness so we walked around and went shopping until being called to come in. Probably wouldn't go back but happy we got to go. Our server was very nice. read more

The best breakfast experience I had during my trip to Colombia river gorge. This place is cozy and stylish and serves an amazing Swedish food. I had a Swedish breakfast board and loved every element of it. Rye bread, cheese, smoked trout and not too sweet granola yogurt- everything right to my taste! My husband loved his Swedish hash on a cute skillet as well. Service was friendly but took a little while for food to get to our table. Nice place to have breakfast or brunch if you are in Hood River. read more

Friendly service and delicious Swedish brunch in a charming space. Worked well for my fussy kids, as well! I enjoyed the Lefse Breakfast, while my kids loved the Danish Pancakes, which are little balls, as opposed to the wide flat pancakes we're used to. We were there on a Monday, but still there was about a half hour wait around lunchtime. We checked out the nearby Waucoma bookstore while we waited. read more

I love Broder back in Portland and I was super excited to try this place. It has the cutest setup and each table is thoughtfully set. The food was excellent as always and it was so cozy on a cold rainy day. I highly recommend. Probably not for picky eaters but definitely for anyone with actual taste read more

It was all very good. read more

Great breakfast in downtown Hood River. The bacon was amazing as well. The menu has some Swedish-themed food and generous portions.

OMG!! I was so excited to try this place and I was NOT disappointed! I am Norwegian and my husband is Swedish. When looking for places to eat here in Hood River I found this place and because of our heritage we had to try it. I had the Lefse, (Norwegian crepe) with chèvre and a salad. I added the Lingonberry jam. It came with a perfectly dressed salad and an egg over easy. He got the Swedish Board it was amazing! Came with Chèvre, fruit, 2 cheeses, pickles, ham, and more. He loved his and we are still talking about it! The coffee was good and they bring warm frothed milk! The interior is super cute and clean. The server was so nice!! I can't say enough good about it! Hopeful to eat there again before we go home. Don't miss this place if you're in Hood River! read more

WOW. Such a great breakfast I'll think about for a while, unique food with lots of love put in. Highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, but the waitstaff was beyond impressive. We had the hash, bacon and eggs, and shared the pancakes. My father is older and doesn't hear very well, and our server was so sweet and gentle with him. It really warmed my heart and made us all feel at home. Can't wait to return read more

We arrived 12:20ish on a Saturday and put our name down for a party of 3. We were seated 15 min later. Of what we ordered, we really enjoyed the danish pancakes. We wish we had ordered the full order instead of half. The lefse was also really good as well as the baked egg scramble. It was a nice cozy vibe inside the restaurant. I was glad I didn't have to raise my voice at all to be heard. It's adjacent to a hotel, which provides for a nice waiting area. read more

Wow. We stumbled across Broder Ost while walking around Hood River on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was packed. It was by far the busiest place on the main drag, but the food looked so good that we were willing to wait. The wait was about an hour but well worth it. It was challenging to make decisions because the menu is extensive, and everything looked so appealing. My friends and I split the lost eggs and the Danish pancakes so that we could have a taste of the savory and sweet. The lost eggs were a bit like how poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce is often served, so I found the Danish pancakes to be more unique (and very tasty). I don't drink Bloody Marys, but my friends had Bloody Marys which they really loved. Broder Ost is located in a quaint hotel and also has limited outdoor seating (in addition to indoor seating). read more

I'm giving 5 stars for the service. I didn't catch our server's name, but he was so charming, patient, & helpful. We told him we were on an adventure to try this food that was new to us. He gave us some advice & suggestions and we love it! The sausage was a little dry, but the pickled onions & the beets on the eggs were SO good. The bread was delicious, too! There was more food than I could eat in one sitting! read more

It's lovely to see Broder's expansion into new places, and the Hood River øst location offers folks something new and different. The spot is centrally located within walking distance to anything you need. Parking is normally ample, it seems, even on a busy Saturday downtown. The adjacent hotel is lovely, and surely guests who stay next-door should make this brunch location your go-to during the stay. We were lucky to be seated right away, but, the service felt rushed. The team of nice staff was always checking in on us, and would often leave before we had finished asking questions or submitting orders. We were sat in the middle of the restaurant right next to a few busy areas for staff, so its perhaps our proximity to the action that delivered our feeling of being rushed. The prices here seem better than in Portland, which made it easier for us to order several boozy drinks, starters, and entrées. I enjoyed the pancakes for the first time, and I was excited to learn that the seasonal fruit would be blueberry. Who doesn't love a local blueberry pancake in Scandi style?! There is plenty of space outside and in, so anyone will be able to enjoy their experience here. I would love to return in winter when the fireplace is working with cozier vibes. read more

Not the greatest first impression, but we ended up enjoying our food. We arrived for breakfast Sunday about 5 minutes before they were to open. Along with 3 other customers, we started to enter when an employee outside turned the sign to "open" and welcomed us in with him. We were quickly yelled at from behind the bar by the only female employee to go back out, that they weren't ready. We all exited... Cue the 2nd male employee approaching and turning the open sign while welcoming us all again, only to be told another NO by the clearly frustrated female employee. Each time the guys apologized to her and us, but at this point we were a tad turned off...not by the mistaken welcomes, but by the unwelcome feeling we were getting from her. Not until she approached and turned the sign herself did she allow us in, but with some sass and the impression we were being somewhat scolded, leaving us with a not-so-welcome taste in our mouths. We considered leaving to try another nearby breakfast, but ultimately decided to stay and give them a try, as the 2 male employees waiting tables were extremely friendly and seemed to be working hard to turn around the bad first impression. The place is cute, connected to the hotel next door...both with a fun vibe. Loving the menu and wanting to try multiple items, we ended up choosing too much and only making it through a fraction of our food. The eggs were tasty, bacon cooked well, potato pancake full of flavor, and pancakes fun. The guys were especially good about making the rounds with coffee refills. Bummed to say I'm not sure if I'd return or not. The food was unique and enjoyable. Service provided from our waiter, great. But unfortunately first impressions are sometimes those that last longer. read more

Eggs, toast & pancakes with a Scandinavian twist! Having visited the Portland location many times, I was excited when they opened up a Hood River locarion and evidently so was everyone else! Long lines are common on weekends and during tourist season so I come midweek when there is little or no wait. Before I get to the food, lets talk aesthetics. The 2 story restaurant is beautiful! The simplicity and craftsmanship of the interior is the perfect backdrop to the gorgeous dishes served here. Everything is plated artistically including the cocktails. While there are so many items on the menu that look and are good, I tend to get the same thing because I love it so much! The baked egg scramble with applewood smoked bacon and whipped fig ricotta is a flavor bomb! Served with walnut toast from White Salmon Bakery, one of the best bakeries anywhere, is so satisfying and crave worthy that I tent to get it every time. And of course we get the aebleskivers (Danish pancakes) to share! Unlike American pancakes which tend to be heavy, the aebleskivers are so light and fluffy That you can have several without ripening stuffed. Dipped in the sweet & tart lemon curd and lingonberry jam they are the sweet component to compliment the savory for a perfect brunch meal. The edleflower spritz or lavender collins are unique & refreshing brunch cocktails that go perfectly with the food. Even though I get a cocktail, I always start with a coffee with cardamom cream which not many restaurants or coffee shops serve. I'm a sucker for anything with cardamom, especially coffee, and theirs is fantastic. They also serve lunch but brunch is always what I get. read more

Was going to come here for lunch and brought our dog. The reviews said it was good and was looking forward to trying it. Someone told us it would be a 10 min wait and that he would out together a table for us. Waited 20 mins. 2 groups were seated before us and not one time did someone inform us how many people were inform of us or if the wait time had changed. I understand they were busy for the lunch rush but the operation seemed to be lagging behind. read more
