“Beautiful place. I went very early morning to get some breakfast. The place appeared to be new and clean . I didn’t get to check out the entire place , but definitely would visit on our next trip . There was ample parking area as well. Strongly recommended”
“It was very quiet on a cold winter day when we were visiting. No vendors were located outside of the market itself, so quite contrary to what I expected, but we still loved it. Plenty of street parking too. We toured the market itself, found clean bathrooms on the second floor with some art displayed, ate some bakery goods @ Le Moulin De Provence bakery and took photos with Ottawa sign.”
“Neighborhood shopping center with various service businesses (Jean Coutu, Maxi, SAQ, etc.).
Well done for adding an additional enclosure to bring in the grocery baskets, since the redevelopment of the Provigo into a Maxi. It wasn't a luxury.
All that remains is to improve a little the flow of traffic in the parking lot, which is clearly complicated, among other things, because of the large billboard which obstructs the entry and exit of vehicles.”
“Pedestrian orientated mall in car dependent neighbourhood. Needs a lot more residential density and transit accessibility if the commercial tenants are going to survive. I was there on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and there was almost nobody around. Which is a shame, because this is the type of commercial development Canada needs more of. The neighbouring Parc Central and skate park are very popular.”
“Stopped in 4 stores based on flyer deals . Very efficient . Publisac delivers all the paper flyers and we get what we need based on 25% plus sales. We would use the web based flyers more if they were user friendly.”
“The shopping center has a lot of varied stores, spread over three floors. Many of them are high-end, especially when it comes to clothing, especially for the fairer sex.
A very spacious and varied food fair, with several establishments having chicken as a specialty.
Interior access to the O-Train (Rideau station), STO bus service (terminus and departure point) on the MacKenzie Bridge, near the center. Paid underground indoor parking on several levels.”
“This is the big plaza off boulevard de la Gappe. It's technically called SmartCentres Gatineau, not to be confused with SmartCentres Hull which is on boulevard du Plateau and is considerably smaller. All these plazas kind of look all the same but I have to say that during this Covid-19 Pandemic, I felt much safer walking outside and going to stores in a plaza than in an enclosed mall. This is pretty much the only time in my life when I prefer a plaza to a real shopping mall, considering cold Canadian winters and my aversion to precipitation of all types, lol. This plaza is huge. The main stores are Walmart, Michaels, Dollarama and Winners. There's also a Bulk Barn, Bouclair, GNC, EB Games, L'Équipeur (which is Mark's in the rest of Canada, formerly Mark's Work Warehouse), Golf Town, Ardene, Moore's, Think Kitchen and Structube. For fashion, they have Reitmans, RW & Co, Tommy Hilfiger, Thyme Maternity, Addition Elle, and Aldo. They have a few banks and other services. Food options are limited to Barbie's (a BBQ place), Luxx Deli Bistro, Boston Pizza and Subway. It's nothing too special, but it has a Winners, so extra points for that, lol.”
“Ideal place for people like me with a weakness for older people when it comes to long term relationships. The food court is perfect for finding love between two AW cafes. I remember it as if it were yesterday, my beautiful Denis... We shared a brown chopped potato until our lips touched, then we succumbed to temptations and went to the family toilets with the largest cabins for some secrecy. My first love, rest in peace.”

“It is a shopping center hidden in the basement of a building... for a month I passed by it every day and I didn't know what was inside... one day for another reason I entered and I was surprised by the number of shops and restaurants they have. inside! Of course, almost everything closes at 3 or 4 in the afternoon! But it's cool! Because you avoid the heat, rain or cold outside and you have tables to sit at.
You have everything from bakery/cafe/pastry, to Japanese, sushi, Turkish, sandwiches, fried chicken and other options! I recommend it to you!”

“I was looking for glass bowls for a social dinner preparation, I tried my luck and they had some, the store is very large and above all super well stocked, there seems to be everything.”
