West End locals can indulge in some sophisticated brunch fare with a Nordic twist at Lokal + Co on O’Connell Street. The cafe blends clean Scandinavian design aesthetics with a menu of meals that incorporate a few Nordic tastes, without being intimidating to local diners. A quick browse through the menu shows off a few Nordic touches, evidenced in meals such as as house cured gravlax with rye soldiers, goats curd and pickled baby beets and the Danish open rye sandwich with sardines, egg, fennel and radish. Lokal + Co also serves delicious Allpress Coffee, a tea from West End Tea Co. and fresh juices. The cafe also opens for dinner and wine on Friday and Saturday nights, with its fresh Scandinavian vibe carried through to the evenings.
