Where are good places to shop in the Ottawa/Gatineau area?

Question

Hey, Im going to Gatineau this weekend and would like to know where there are any good malls either in Ottawa or Gatineau?

I wear alot of clothes from West 49, Urban Planet, Boathouse and shoes from Stance.

So if you know of any malls with those stores or stores with similar clothing, please tell me :D

Answer 1

These are the main Shopping malls in Gatineau/Hull

-Les Galeries De Hull  - 819-770-7925

320, boulevard Saint-Joseph , Gatineau , QC J8Y 3Y8

-Promenades De L'Outaouais (Les)  - 819-568-1158

1100, boulevard Maloney Ouest , Gatineau , QC J8T 6G3

But the following are the 3 largest shopping malls in Ottawa in order from largest down. If I was you I would go to One in Ottawa cuz they're alot bigger and more selection.

-Bayshore Shopping Centre  -

613-829-7491, 100 Bayshore Drive , Nepean , ON K2B 8C1

-Rideau Centre

50 Rideau street Ottawa, Telephone : [phone]

-St Laurent Centre  - 613-745-6858

1200 St Laurent Boulevard , Ottawa , ON K1K 3B8

Answer 2

The Rideau Centre in Ottawa has an Urban Planet, I believe, and a few similar stores.  That's the main downtown mall and has the most activity.  You'll also find some shops outside along Rideau Street, just outside and to the East of Rideau Centre.

The Byward Market (outdoor markets just north of Rideau) and Sparks Street (pedestrian street a couple of blocks down from parliament, west of the canal) are also worth checking out.

There are West 49 locations in Bayshore (West End), St. Laurent (East End) and Place D'Orleans (further East suburbs).

Bayshore also has a Stance location.

Answer 3

Those are all fairly standard stores at most malls so any mall would do. I'd probably go with Bayshore on the Ottawa side. It has pretty much everything Rideau Centre has and you don't have to deal with downtown traffic or parking. Just exit the Queensway and you are instantly there.

As someone who lives in Ottawa I find it odd that anyone would travel here to shop. The shopping is awful. I always wait to buy stuff while travelling. I haven't bought any cloths in Ottawa despite living here for almost 9 years. The stores are just awful.
