Moodyville’s (North Vancouver)
I make it a rule of mine to spend time with my close friends on a regular basis, and I think I’m pretty damn good at it. Also, as you may remember, I love the North Shore, especially the city of North Vancouver and the area around Lower Lonsdale. I also have always had a soft spot for Mom-and-Pop-run, small hole-in-the-wall kind of places, and brunch is pretty much my favorite meal of the day. Given that earlier this year, I spent a full 2 weeks in North Vancouver (house-sitting for Ianiv and Arieanna), I thought of coming back to Moodyvilles for brunch. Earlier this year, I had brunch there with Arieanna and we both enjoyed it a lot. The place is small enough to be cozy, yet big enough to hold about 30 people seated comfortably. I ordered scrambled eggs with hashbrowns and toast, which is as always, comfort food. 
Comparatively speaking, Moodyvilles is sort of the North Shore equivalent to the Nice Cafe. Small, cozy, warm, comfort food. I have to admit, though, that just walking through the Lonsdale area (not the Quay, but the area around 1st and 5th Streets, and surrounding perimeter) there are a LOT of great-looking restaurants just waiting for me to visit for brunch. If only I had that kind of cash to just spend my time having dinner to review restaurants!
If you live in the North Shore, I’d seriously recommend Moodyvilles. Even if you’re not in the actual Lonsdale area, it’s a small little place that should provide you with a sense of home and a respite from the craziness of day-to-day life.
