Venner

Sheung Wan’s former cosy Nordic cafe, Hjem, has returned with a brand-new look and concept. The Hollywood Road space, now known as Venner, is a charming Scandinavian café that offers a delightful all-day menu, featuring small-batch cakes and expertly brewed coffee. Must-try items here include the classic cinnamon and cardamom bun, as well as the indulgent breakfast plate with authentically Nordic accoutrements like Jarlsberg cheese and homemade lingonberry jam. As evening falls, Veneer transforms into a casual wine bar and offers a curated selection of natural wines. Pair your glasses with small plates like savoury goat’s cheese cheesecake or dates wrapped in prosciutto, and you’ve got a perfect combo to end the day with.
