Asking Mon Lapin's Vanya Filipovic for a last-minute gift guide

People working in Montreal's hospitality scene are bona fide lifesavers. We have the best of times with them, turning our nights into pure magic, and they're always on point if things go sideways.

So what happens if we're scrambling for gift ideas at the very last second, when the holidays are right around the corner?

We figured, hey, why don't we ask someone who knows exactly what to do when we need some guidance during hectic times? Why not ask someone who's a master of their craft and has real commitment to authentic artisans like Vanya Filipovic?

SAY HI TO VANYA

A luminary in Montreal's vibrant restaurant and wine scene, Vanya's a reputation for seamlessly blending her roles as the founder of Dame-Jeanne Imports, the ex-drink director for renowned restaurants Joe Beef and Le Vin Papillon, and now co-owner of Mon Lapin.
