It's neither the biggest mall in Ottawa nor the one with the most exciting stores, but St. Laurent Shopping Centre is a great one, with quite enough of what you need.

The mall is going down hill if the landlord does not tend to the level of cleaning in the food court. Tables and especially the baby high chairs are disgusting, left with food from days if not more.
