NORD Hove

Head west along Western Road towards Hove and you'll find yourself in front of NORD, a bright, unfussy space that's become something of a local favourite for people who actually care about their breakfast. The vibe is distinctly uncomplicated—no Instagram theatrics, just proper food and coffee that doesn't mess about. You're looking at the kind of place where the sourdough is properly done, the eggs are treated with respect, and the coffee is exactly what you'd want it to be. It's the sort of neighbourhood brunch spot that makes you wonder why everywhere else feels so desperate by comparison.
