HAPPENING GOURMAND

Happening Gourmand – the name says it all: food, food & more delicious food! I had no problem in temporarily ditching my diet last week to attend this media event, where we got a glimpse of some of the amazing dishes that are part of the reduced price lunch & dinner menus offered by 7 restaurants in Old Port from January 7th – February 7th (777 – is this a lucky number or what?) The participating restaurants are: Bevo bar & pizzeria, Modavie, Méchant Boeuf, Suite 701, Taverne Gaspar, Verses Restaurant, Vieux-Port Steakhouse & Kyo bar japonais. Some of these restaurants…

It’s not easy to just snap into the ‘new you’ once the clock rings in midnight! It’s a nice thought, but it’s easier said than done. It’s been 10 days after the New Year and I did not start eating well or exercising regularly…yet! Today marks the 1st day of that resolution, and it’s ok that it’s about 2 weeks late. There are two great motivators to help you begin: 1 – not fitting into some of your clothes (guilty) & 2- brand new workout clothes! So, having trouble zipping up my favorite jeans reinforced this resolution. Equipped in all the…

NEW YEAR’S EVE 2016: THE PLACE TO BE

I always wait until the last minute to make NYE plans: story of my life! And I am not the only one! Everyone whom I asked thus far does not seem to have any plans either. What usually ends up happening is that I host a party at my place with family & friends. This year however, I’m too exhausted to host it. I’d be happy to show up to someone else’s place with champagne in hand, but nobody seems to be stepping up. So, this year, I decided to switch it up a little and hit up the Grand…

LE SAINT JUDE

Located in the heart of the Plateau, Le Saint-Jude gym/spa complex fills out the walls of a historical landmark. This church structure has preserved it’s facade, but has been completely broken down & renovated inside to create a space for physical activity, as well as relaxation. The gym offers a personalized training program, supervised by a kinesiologist as well as several group courses ranging from yoga to spinning. After your workout, a complimentary 15 mins sports massage is a must to help your muscles recover quicker. Then, grab a smoothie to fuel up, and finish off your stay at the…

JACK SALOON OLD PORT

If you’re a foodie & a fan of good music, you need to check out Jack Saloon! Located at 262 St-Paul Est in a historical building dating back to 1712, where you can still see the relics of the fortifications of Ville-Marie, the place offers a very unique decor, carefully segregated into 4 sections inspired by the Civil War. Well curated wall paper & posters ornate the walls of each section, creating an ‘out of a Tarantino movie’ mood & vibe. The live band, the red lighting & the wood all create a warm atmosphere of rock & roll with a western twist! I…
