At evoleum, we are committed to showcasing inspirational women who share ourholistic vision ofbeauty

For this second interview, we have chosen to focus on the two inspiring women who run the plant canteen Sisters: Mathilde & Emilie Lacaze.  

In a few words, who are you?
Emilie: We're two sisters, Emilie and Mathilde, aged 37 and 31. We both come from the Paris region, where we still live. I'm also the mother of a 3-year-old boy.
For the past two years, we've been running an organic canteen and coffee shop together in the heart of Paris, which we've decided to call simply Soeurs.
Before that, we had a number of experiences in the luxury goods industry in France and abroad. My sister lived in Qatar for 5 years and I spent a year in London.

 

Your mantra?
Mathilde: Keep it simple and authentic

 

Your 3 favorite beauty products?
Mathilde: Once again, simple, authentic products: Marseille soap to get rid of small pimples, coconut oil to moisturize the skin and theeau de bouleau for luminous skin every day

 

What's the best beauty tip you've ever received?
Emilie: Beauty begins on the inside. Enjoying organic, seasonal fruit and vegetables every day, combined with a good night's sleep, is the first step to staying in shape.
Mathilde: Nature does things well. She provides us with the fruits and vegetables we need according to the seasons. All we have to do is follow and respect her.

 

What's the wellness routine you can't live without (yoga, ...)?
Emilie: We do facial yoga every morning and evening to relax our features, especially after a long day at the restaurant.

  

How did Soeurs come about?
Mathilde: We thought about the project for several years. During our travels, it gradually took shape in our minds.
We had to be ready and available both professionally and personally. In 2018, our planets aligned and we concretely started working on the concept full-time. Entrepreneurship is a great adventure that teaches us a lot about ourselves. After several months of looking for premises and putting together applications for the banks, we opened Soeurs restaurant, after 3 months of work, in March 2019.

 

Can you tell us more about your daily life as a restaurateur?
Mathilde: It's very intense, both physically and mentally, because my sister and I hold operational positions, but we're also managers. You have to know how to juggle these 3 roles, but today we can't see ourselves doing anything differently, because it's imperative for us to always be at the heart of our restaurant.
Emilie: Our job is so exciting. For my sister, it's the customer experience, which she loves, and for me, it's the creative side.

 

Your sources of inspiration?
Mathilde: Our sources of inspiration are varied. First and foremost, nature and the seasons, which we follow in developing our menu.
We also draw a great deal of inspiration from the principles of naturopathy, to ensure that our dishes are always balanced and full of goodness.
We also pay close attention to the different cuisines of the world, which are always very inspiring.

 

A good address to recommend?
Mathilde: Michel Bras' restaurant Le Suquet, high above Laguiole, which reminds us of our roots in Aveyron.gastronomic, vegetal and flavorful cuisine.

 

Rather Oxygénation, Radiance or Longévité ?
Emilie: Radiance
Mathilde: Oxygénation

 

We invite you to discover the restaurant Soeurs at 27 Rue Cambacérès, 75008 Paris, open Monday to Friday from 8am to 3pm.
