They serve more casual eats in a brighter and more open space than their counterpart. A lighter version of a classic caesar salad, the kale caesar with tahini dressing, is a must.

Lagree Core Where? 5000 Rue Jean-Talon Ouest, Montreal, Quebec H4P 1W9 #160 Type of Class: Megaformer Pilates Description: I would describe Lagree as “Reformer Pilates on steroids”. It uses the same core principles (moving carriage and fixed platform that challenge you with added-resistance using springs), but they add in blasts of cardio and use moves that will have you feeling the burn and shake (during the workout, and sometimes for days after…YES). Length of class: 50 minutes Price: $32 + tax to drop-in. Class packs available. Subscribe to their e-mail list for promos! Commitment issues? F ..read more

#CRUSHEDIT 2380 Lucerne Rd, Mount Royal, QC H3R Sorry it took me a while to get these fitness posts going – but after a lovely vacation followed by a couple of crazy weeks at work, I’m back! Orangetheory is a fitness franchise that could be found all across North America. They use Heart Rate Based Interval Training, which burns more calories post-workout than traditional exercise for optimal results. You wear a small heart monitor during the workout that connects to a large screen showing your heart rate and notifying you when you’ve entered the “Orange Zone”.

My Top 12 of 2017 These are some of my most recommended spots of 2017 that will keep me coming back for more in 2018! I have linked each to an existing blog post where possible – so click away! 1. DAMAS 1201 Ave Van Horne, Outremont, QC H2V 1K4, Canada Most recommended of 2017 (and 2016 for that matter). Everything at this high-end Syrian restaurant, from the mezzes to the mains and even the desserts strike a perfect 10 in my books. It is consistently the first place I recommend to both Montrealers and out-of-towners. 2. PAMIKA 901 Sherbrooke St, Montreal, QC H2L 1L3, Canada Thai food with fl ..read more
