Since starting The District Brasserie in 2007, Jeff and Paul have strived to create a social dining atmosphere in North Vancouver. Real food. Real drinks. No microwaves.
When it comes to the hospitality industry, Paul Mon-Kau has pretty much done it all. “I've been in the industry since I was 14,” he chuckles. “You name it, I've done it: bouncing, selling restaurant equipment, general managing, bartending, kitchen — all of it.”
And now, he's got another title to add to that list: chef and co-owner of The District Brasserie, a Lower Lonsdale staple since it opened its doors back in July of 2007. With its unpretentious atmosphere, eclectic brunch and dinner menu and progressive Dutch-Belgian fare, The District has proven so popular with North Vancouver residents that Paul and his partner Jeff have already had to expand their operation multiple times, including into other locations in the neighbourhood (including The Little District Roadhouse).
Weekend brunch starts at 10 am, so be sure to reserve your morning to experience the modern lumber camp décor at The District Brasserie. The pint serving of orange juice goes down well with the vegan scramble or the croque madame (like the croque monsieur, but with an egg on top). A brunch bowl or crab cake bowl will send you off with enough energy to make it to dinner.

First opened in 2007, this Lonsdale Avenue hotspot has a fine selection of local Burnaby brews and Belgian beers on tap. The District attracts a steady steam of regulars thanks to its nightly drink specials, fun and bustling atmosphere and an open-air patio that makes it the perfect locale for summer beers with friends. The service is friendly and warm and the wait-staff is knowledgeable about the drinks on the menu, so you can find exactly the right drink for you.
