Nord

Another brunch spot you need to have on your radar is @nordhove Having visited regularly and been blown away each time, I couldn’t wait to try their newly launched menu and it certainly didn’t disappoint

This Swedish inspired cafe is effortlessly charming, with a warm, harmonious atmosphere and relaxed vibes that make it the perfect setting for a leisurely brunch. While the new brunch menu is the star of the show, Nord also serves a great selection of sandwiches and salads for lunch, alongside beautiful cakes, pastries, and exceptional coffee so there’s no shortage of reasons to visit

From the new brunch menu, we tried the Scrambled Eggs & Halloumi, fluffy scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, creamy garlic yoghurt, house chilli oil, and halloumi served on sourdough. It was absolutely delicious, the combination of flavours worked perfectly together. I added crispy bacon for extra texture and richness, which elevated it even further. We also ordered the Shakshuka, a smoky red pepper, aubergine, tomato and chickpea stew topped with poached eggs, za’atar, and sourdough toast. I added a side of avocado, which complemented the dish beautifully. It was hearty, vibrant, and packed with flavour, a truly satisfying brunch option. Nord is also well known for its pancakes (the pistachio pancakes are still one of my all time favourites), so it would have been rude not to try one of the new additions, the Lotus Biscoff pancakes with berries, banana, and crumble. Safe to say, they were outstanding. Made with delicate thin pancakes layered with Biscoff sauce, it was the perfect sweet treat to round off the meal, indulgent, beautifully balanced, and highly recommended

Overall, Nord continues to impress. The food is consistently exceptional, and the lovely family behind it make the experience even more special. If you’re in the Hove area and looking for fantastic coffee, a delicious sandwich, a standout brunch, or a little Swedish treat, this is an absolute must visit!
