HER MONTREAL

Katherine S. Evans, the sassy and stylish director of Opus
Hotel, recently moved from Vancouver to open the Opus Montreal. Here
are some of her favorite things:

Best place to practice your French?
Shopping on
Saint-Denis Street.

Off the beaten path shopping?
The antique stores
along Notre-Dame Street. I found sterling silver cutlery that perfectly
matches my grandmothers set.

Late-night eatery?
After 10 p.m., French bistro Leméac
does an amazing three-course set menu for $22. 1045 Laurier St. W.
514-270-0999.

Local designer?
Ive become completely obsessed with Marie
Saint Pierre. Shes a wonderful lady and I think her designs are
right up there with the best in Paris. 2081 de la Montagne St.,
514-281-5547.

Take-out spot?
The food at Yoy Sushi Bar is really
fresh. They deliver in 20 minutes and their albacore tuna is absolutely
to die for! 4526 St. Denis St., 514-844-9884.

Make-out spot?
Its a shameless plug but I must say
the Presidential
Suite at the Opus Hotel.

Best thing about Montreal?
Watching people come out
of the woodwork and filling up Saint-Laurent Boulevard on the first
sunny day of spring.
