Best Nordic Restaurants Hong Kong Near Me

4worldlovers: After 5 years of service in one of our favorite cities in the world, time has come to say goodbye to Frantzén Kitchen and Hong Kong, for now.

4worldlovers: Hjem — meaning ‘home’ in Norwegian — emerged from Co-Founder Elin Fu’s reminiscence of her life in the small southeastern town of Hamar in Norway. Now based in Hong Kong, rather than longing to go back, Elin reconciles her frequent cravings of rye bread with herring and dill right in the heart of the city on Hollywood Road. The Nordic diet also made a significant impression on Nelson Htoo, Co-Founder, after his visit to Hamar. Mindful mealtimes inspired finding joy in the simple pleasures of life — a much-needed shift in focus, especially for those that have adapted to the rhythm of city-living.

As a space of respite and calm, Hjem aims to be the go-to for an authentic Nordic experience. Our menu embodies Norway’s healthy gastronomic identity, boasting fresh produce that places attention on principles of slow and conscious eating.

Through good, nutritious food and irresistible coffee, Elin intends to share with the world the culture and cuisine that she finds comfort in, hoping that wherever you’re from, you too will find a piece of home at Hjem.

Hjem boasts a diverse entry point into the Nordic diet that is often lauded for its health benefits. We specialize in traditional open sandwiches — or smørrebrød — for which we use premium toppings that best encapsulate true Nordic flavors, like for our signatures such as Arctic Prawns, Beef Pastrami, or Blueberry-cured Salmon. With the same precision and focus on quality, our food menu comprises a range of Nordic staples from savory to sweet, using simple yet timeless ingredients essential to the rejuvenating diet.

Best paired with our dishes are our signature beverages; we believe a simply good drink is all you need for a hygge moment — finding contentment in the things we often take for granted. Whether it’s coffee or a cocktail you are after, we focus on all our beverage offerings with the same mindful and considered approach. We have partnered with various independent businesses such as Plūkt to bring you a selection of handpicked Nordic teas; local brewery On the Wagon for refreshing kombucha; coffee made using the finest beans from local roasters Starting Over Espresso; and finally, our signature cocktails crafted by our bar team are not to be missed.

Since moving away from the quaint town of Hamar in Norway, Elin has always been compelled by the food scene in Hong Kong — new concepts were always on the horizon, but she found that they never could quite fill the void of comfort food from home. Having always wanted to be an entrepreneur, Elin took a deep dive into F&B and shortly after, Hjem was born. She envisions Hjem to be a home away from home and hopes to share the joy she finds in the familiarity of Nordic delights. Stop by for a coffee and a chat with Elin about life in Norway!

Gaining traction in the local F&B scene with his inaugural concept Club Rangoon — the first authentic Burmese restaurant in Hong Kong — Nelson continues his passionate foray into creating innovative concepts. With Club Rangoon, Nelson intended to introduce the underrepresented cuisine of his homeland to diners in Hong Kong. Grounded by a similar vision, Hjem offers a Nordic edge and flair to the local culinary scene. Bringing to Hjem his expertise as a restaurateur, Nelson aims to create an experience that guarantees the comfort and functionality of Nordic culture.
