Whats the north terminal like ?

I've just realised that we're departing from the North terminal. Whats it like there in the way of shops and restaurants ?
Am I right in thinking its not as good as the South terminal ?

I much prefer the North terminal. It seems to be much calmer and quieter. I think it does have fewer shops, but I don't think that there is a narrower range of shopping than it the South terminal. It's also easy to get between the two terminals by a short monorail.
