Photo de Subway
Subway
177 Boulevard Saint-Joseph, Gatineau, QC J8Y 3X1
Le service dans cette filiale de Subway est courtois et rapide. Les repas sont diversifiés et les prix sont compétitifs. Par contre, la machine pour payer par carte est un peu lente et les sacs en papiers sont très fragiles.

Subway
Quebec Canada, 438 Boulevard Saint-Joseph, Gatineau, QC J8Y 3Y7
Cette filiale de Subway est bien entretenue. Les repas offrent beaucoup de variété pour tous les goûts. Le service est courtois. Les prix sont raisonnables. Par contre, le service peut être un peu lent lorsqu'il y a plus d'achalandage sur l'heure du dîner. Ce n'est pas la faute des employés, mais plutôt dû au manque d'employés travaillant sur place à ces moments-là.

Pizza Pizza
434 Boulevard Saint-Joseph, Gatineau, QC J8Y 3Y7
Ce Pizza Pizza offre de délicieuses pizzas avec plusieurs plats d'accompagnement pour des prix raisonnables. Le service est courtois, mais il manque parfois d'employés. Vu que les employés ont plusieurs tâches à accomplir, cela peut prendre un certain temps avant de pouvoir commander et payer sur place.

La Pataterie Hulloise offre de la restauration rapide comme des hamburgers, hot-dogs et poutines. Le service est généralement rapide et courtois, mais il y a beaucoup d'achalandage à certains moments. Les prix sont légèrement élevés pour la qualité offerte. Les repas goûtent bons, mais devraient être consommés avec modération.

Le cimetière protestant des pionniers de Chelsea est un secret bien gardé. Il se situe entre la rue principale et les cascades à proximité du terrain de pique-nique d'Old Chelsea.

La Cigale
14 Chemin Scott, Chelsea, QC J9B 1R5
La Cigale offre des crèmes glacées et des laits frappés d'une excellente qualité. Le service est très courtois et rapide malgré l'achalandage en printemps et en été. Les prix sont par contre un peu élevés à mon avis.

Le sentier du Mont-KIng est d'une longueur d'environ deux kilomètres. Il est assez accidenté et de difficulté moyenne.

La vallée offre des vues impressionantes sur le lac Black. Il y a plusieurs marches bien entretenues qui mènent au sommet du mont King. Les vues sont à couper le souffle. Vous pourrez alors voir Hollow Glen, Luskville, Aylmer, Hull et bien sûr Ottawa au loin. Il y a quelques panneaux informatifs sur le chemin et un monument au sommet. En tout, cela prend environ quarante-cinq minutes à une heure pour fair la boucle du sentier en toute tranquilité.

Le terrain de pique-nique du Pingouin est bien situé dans la nature. Ce terrain est très grand et on y trouve des toilettes publiques, des grandes cartes du Parc de la Gatineau, des tables avec des bancs, plusieurs sentiers pédestres et un grand stationnement.

51 Boulevard Fournier, Gatineau, QC J8X 3P5
Ce Couche-Tard est un bon petit dépanneur de quartier. L'espace est grand et le service est courtois. Les prix des boissons et de la nourriture deviennent par contre de plus en plus dispendieux à un rythme effréné.

46 Rue Bédard, Gatineau, QC J8P 6V4
L'épicerie Parc de la Montagne est plutôt un petit kiosque. On peut y trouver des boissons et des friandises, mais aussi des produits congelés et même des films. De plus, c'est un des rares endroits qui offre encore des billets d'autobus. Le service est calme et courtois. Le seul élément qui manquait lors de ma première visite était un désinfectant pour la main à l'entrée pendant la pandémie.
 
 
Photo de Supercentre Walmart
Supercentre Walmart
2277 Riverside Dr., Ottawa, ON K1H 7X6
I recently went to this Walmart to buy a few new pants for work. As I was looking for the fitting rooms, I was rudely told that they had been closed for the past year and that they won't open ever again. When I asked how people could try on their clothes before purchasing them, I was told that I should just buy some of them, try them on at home and bring them back if they don't fit. I consider that option a waste of time and it's also unnecessary pollution to drive back and forth for no reason like that. I won't go shopping here again and will find my pants elsewhere.

Le Restaurant Café Mont-Royal est bien situé au centre-ville de Chicoutimi. Il y a des stationnements gratuits et des arrêts de bus à proximité.

Les banquettes sont très confortables. Le restaurant offre des déjeuners et dîners pour des prix raisonnables. Il n'y a pas énormément de choix et le menu est simple.

Supercentre Walmart de Hull Est
425 Boulevard Saint-Joseph #1, Gatineau, Quebec J8Y 3Z9 -  
Je suis récemment allé au magasin tout en respectant les consignes sanitaires comme suivre les flèches indiquées par terre et garder une distanciation de deux mètres des autres clients aux caisses. Un autre client a alors tenté de me provoquer et de m'insulter à plusieurs reprises pour me forcer à m'approcher davantage des clients devant moi pour réduire la longueur de la file d'attente. J'ai ignoré ce client et continué à respecter les règles sanitaires. Le client s'est alors plaint à un employé du magasin. Celui-ci m'a demandé d'avancer au lieu de mettre l'autre client irresponsable et impoli à sa place. Vu que je suis conséquent et responsable dans la vie, j'ai décidé de ne plus aller à ce magasin. J'irai désormais aux magasins à Ottawa, même si cela signifie un détour pour moi.

(Avis d'origine) Billings Bridge Shopping Centre offers a good variety of stores. The environment is clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Access to public transit is convenient and quick. The structure of the building is however a little bit complicated due to its narrow width and extensive length.

Aubrey Falls Provincial Park is certainly worth a detour. A trail leads from the small parking lot to the falls which takes about fifteen minutes to reach.
