Tapas, like books, cars, and husbands, are designed to be shared with those closest to you. Indulge in the best of Spanish-style sharing with today’s Groupon to Bacchus Cafe & Wine Bar in St. Albert. Choose between the following options:

– For $17, you get $35 worth of dinner fare.
– For $10, you get $20 worth of brunch fare.

Bacchus Cafe & Wine Bar’s rotating menu complements the freshness of ingredients used, many of which are sourced from local suppliers. Visitors rest in a vibrant, art-filled space, lounging like child princes on couches and stools while enjoying delectably prepared tapas. Evening diners nosh on light items, such as an herb-crusted, Italian-style sardine ($6), oven-baked between crusty bruschetta and melty mozzarella, or a truffle oil-kissed mushroom and spinach crostini ($13). Meat-seeking taste buds pen four-verse love-raps for the calamari, prawn, and chorizo, served with sautéed onion, garlic, and peppers ($15), or the spice-marinated bison meatballs, bursting with mozzarella and baked in tomato sauce ($17).

The eatery’s brunch menu proffers intrameal eats, such as a veggie-filled frittata ($8) and an open-faced chicken sandwich, garnished with tomato, pesto, and feta on olive bread ($9). An extensive wine list traverses New and Old World locales like a dizzy conquistador, with wines such as a Pelee Island gewurztraminer ($7 for 4 oz.) and an Argentinean Joffre Passion malbec ($7 for 4 oz.) making the cut.

JoJo’s Cafe whips up a sensory bouquet of caffeinated quaffables and palate-beguiling pastries in a charming European-style café setting.

After perusing the menu, sip on a concentrated dose of concentration-boosting espresso ($2.50), or invite some dark chocolate and steamed milk to the beverage bash with a bliss-portenting mocha ($4.50+), all made from premium Italian coffee beans. Iced lattes ($5) and iced mochas ($5.75) offer a cold coffee alternative to patrons overheated by yeti-skin body suits. The bistro is also filled with the bold scents of baking biscotti ($1.50) and artisan cinnamon buns, made with sourdough bread and a rotating cast of mix-ins, such as pecans, blueberries, cranberries, or the bubbling laughter of baby rainbows ($4). For heartier fare, JoJo’s prepares a daily selection of breakfast and lunch paninis, built from freshly baked bread, seasonal ingredients, thick cuts of meat, and seasonal veggies ($7.50).

Curves
http://www.curves.com/
Valid at 13 locations.

Today’s Groupon brings together likeminded ladies to increase fitness, morale, and results: for $38, new clients get a two-month unlimited basic membership to Curves (a $196.35 value). Choose from 13 participating locations: Blue Quill Shopping Centre, Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Castledowns, Ellerslie, Fort Saskatchewan, Kingsway, Manning Freeway, Millwoods, Old Strathcona Shopping Centre, Spruce Grove, St. Albert, Stony Plain, or Terra Losa Westend.

Curves is a fitness centre designed exclusively for women. Your membership is only valid at the location you choose. Each membership can be used towards unlimited visits and free weight-management classes with trained professionals.

With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men’s bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were “accidentally” installed in the women’s locker room. At Curves, you’ll move around a circuit of hydraulic-resistance machines that have been designed to work with women’s bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine manoeuvring and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

For 30 minutes, you’ll move around a circuit that positions machines inward so that you’ll have a chance to laugh with your fellow fitness frontierswomen. Because you’re all at different stations, you won’t feel like you’re in competition with anyone but yourself—and a soundtrack of fun, upbeat music will include cues to let you know when it’s time to move on to the next station. You’ll raise your heart rate and burn calories during a complete aerobic and strength-training workout. Meet new friends and plan a girls’ night out between laboured breaths, or invite along some of your current friends as friends instead of as shields against the creep ogling you at the juice bar.

Reviews
Epinions.com users give the fitness centre a 3.5-star average, and Viewpoints reviewers give it a rating of 4.08 stars out of five. Curves has more than 44,000 Facebook fans.

Today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of food and drinks at Steak Village, located in Sherwood Park.

Steak Village lures in casual diners with a menu of quality strips and dishes that delight in exploring only the freshest ingredients. The 8-ounce prime rib spotlights slow-roasted Sterling Silver premium beef that has been handcut to high standards and culled from the top 12 per cent of its class to deliver a platter of juicy flavour and the answer to Fermat’s Last Theorem ($23). The beef-dip wrap explores Steak Village’s versatility by pulling short ribs into a blend of caramelized onions, shredded cheese, and a pimento aioli ($16). A blue-cheese-steak salad grants light lunchers a satisfaction typically received only by sitting on a sibling’s face ($15). Red Seal chef Emil Yim reminds meat eaters of the merriment of saving a seat for the second stomach with decadent desserts, including the chocolate-truffles trio ($9) or the inverted peach melba ($9). A mod interior meshes white tablecloths with colorful plates and wistful aromas, infusing the space with an ambience of casual decadence.

On February 25 and 26, Kerry Unger makes shadow puppets in the spotlight after repping Canada as the only native out of 27 jesters on the New Faces of Comedy showcase in Montreal. On March 18 and 19, West Coast comedy kaiser Simon King combines stream-of-consciousness improvisation with aggressive written material, running the gamut of political humour to absurd suggestions. Each weekend highlights a new cutup with a variety of witticisms that play pied piper to the audience’s ingenuous engagement.
