The cool girl’s guide to Montreal: See Anik Lacasse-Richard’s favourite shops, eats and more

“I just launched my own fashion brand. I was always on the lookout for cool basics, so I thought, ‘Why not make my own line?’ That’s when Ménage À Deux came alive.”

“I recently had a great facial at Spa Eastman in downtown Montreal. It also has a thermo–therapy space, which is great for a work escape.”

“Even before I worked at Boutique Unicorn I loved shopping there for the great selection of Quebec designers and unique jewellery.”

“I usually wear very bold lips, but this fall it’s all about nude: light foundation, a smoky eye and beige lips.”

“I could seriously eat pasta and pizza every day. One of my favourite places is Dolcetto & Co.—its small, yummy dishes are great for sharing.”
