While the food selection isn't particularly varied or exciting, they have standard food court fare. It's fine as long as you're not here to Instagram it. What matters is that they have wifi (which requires a PT phone number to access) and outlets, along with a variety of seating options on two levels. There's also wifi downstairs from Auchan, which you can use while sitting at a coffee shop. The whole mall is clean, new, and generally pleasant. It's not a big mall, so it doesn't have a huge selection of stores. I'm told the Forum is better. Still, the Forum is not in the middle of a neighborhood and just outside of downtown, while Alma Shopping is. Alma Shopping is also connected to a nice pool and gym facility.
