Awesome Scandinavian fare. Closed for dinner but they do amazing breakfast and lunch. Get there early (they open at 8) if you don't want to wait in one of Portland's infamous breakfast / brunch lines. Pro-tip: Order the aebleskiver for the table. They're little doughy battered balls of deliciousness.

A 25 minute walk or a 5 minute cab but worth the effort. Amazing and ultra affordable brunch food. Definitely not a place to go if you're looking for a light meal but if you feel like stuffing your face it's the place to go. Think Eggs Benedict and huge breakfast sandwiches.
