MontrealToronto

Sophie grew up in Montreal and has been covering the city's French-inflected dining scene for most of her career. She has strong opinions about what makes a room feel right — lighting, pacing, the gap between tables — and she is not shy about sharing them. She writes about bistros, wine bars, romantic dining rooms, and the kind of restaurants that make a night feel shaped. Her guides are known for their emphasis on room tone alongside the food, and for occasionally making readers feel guilty about their last date-night choice.
