    airport lounge for Air Canada
    Ingrid S.

    Meh. Even the most limited of United lounge had more choices in it. This Maple Leaf Lounge was in the U.S. departure terminal. As of June 12, 2023 both espresso machines were inoperable and the coffee was Luke warm. Maybe they just don't like Americans.

    Good not great. There isn't consistency for Maple Leaf Lounges which can be annoying and disappointing. Apart from the many Maple Leaf Lounges in Canada and around the world, this is one of the worst, which is surprising because its in Toronto (Canada's largest airport). To be clear, this is the Lounge for Domestic Flights only (Toronto to other Canadian cities). What I've found in the international lounge, and other lounges in other Canadian cities (Vancouver, Montreal etc) is there is usually a large selection of hot food. Unless you just happen to be at this lounge during peak meal times (11am-1pm, or 5pm-7pm) you'll be stuck with nachos/salsa, veggies, salads and SOMETIMES a soup. Of course, as per all Maple Leaf Lounges, there is a generous selection of unlimited alcohol (beer, wine, spirits and mixers). For those non-alcoholic-drinkers there are coffee/tea/hot-chocolate machines, as well as fridges full of pop/juice. Why I only give this 3/5 stars is of course the lack of hot food. If you don't have a lounge pass I would not go here. This is because there are Plaza Premium Lounges which although they don't have the size and amount of seating as Maple Leaf Lounges, always have hot food. For the price of 1-time access you're better off buying a pass for Plaza Premium or just purchasing an entire meal with drink at one of the Airport Restauraunts.

    Beautiful clean lounge with plenty of sitting arrangements. Their food selection was pretty good and healthy too.

    Breakfast. Better than the usual.

    The dirtiest lounge I have been to on the globe. Beyond disgusting. The floor is covers in food and all of the tables are sticky.

    This is a reasonable size lounge with full food counter, full-service bar, free WiFi, washrooms,…read moreand shower! There is a different section for business class passengers, where the chairs are more luxurious. There is a person who will cook a pasta of the day right in front of you. The rest of the food is self-serve. The food is reasonably good. They constantly replenish the items. There is salad, soup, hot food, bread, chips, cookies, cold drinks, and hot drinks. At the bar, you can get beer, wine, and cocktails; cocktails are at an extra charge. If you don't have time to spend at the lounge, you can get a box of food to go. You can reserve lounge access at an additional charge. The business section is for Cathay Pacific business class passengers only. I had a quick look inside. There are not many people in it at 13:00. The food seems upgraded. There is a KLM Lounge next door. With a lounge pass, you can choose either but yhe food at Plaza Premium is better. There is free WiFi. The lounge is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms which are wheelchair accessible. There are also family and nursing washrooms. Review 2026-157

The moment we cleared security, it felt like we stumbled upon a traveller's haven. The lounge is right after security, which is a blessing when you just want to drop your bags and relax. The space is enormous, with ample seating, and it never felt cramped even with a steady flow of guests. Whether you're a solo traveller or wrangling a group, there's a spot for everyone. Now, let's talk food and drinks, because that's where this lounge truly soars. The menu was extensive (and yes, I regret not snapping photos for proof!), but every dish we tried was delicious. We kicked things off with a tomato basil soup that was so good it could make you forget about your flight delays. For mains, the lemon pepper fish, chicken in curry, rice, fresh greens, and assorted desserts hit the spot beautifully--comfort food done right. Drinks are a treat too: I enjoyed a Great Lakes beer, which is part of their complimentary selection, though if you want to indulge in the finer spirits, be prepared to pay a little extra. A small note for fellow travellers: wait times can stretch during rush hours. We had to scan a QR code to join the waitlist, but honestly, the reception staff run the place like a well-oiled machine. From managing the line to the smooth entry process, everything was systematic and stress-free--a rare sight in any airport. All in all, this lounge turned our layover into a mini vacation. Great food, an inviting atmosphere, and staff who know how to keep things moving make this spot worth every minute of the wait. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait--and in this case, they come with curry, craft beer, and a comfy seat.

I was also half dead with a cold and trying my best to hide it so they'd let me through the gates. First thing I noticed was that sleek, shiny, lounge-y atmosphere. Damn, this place looks like a hotel and was beautiful. Small, but with shiny wooden decor and large windows that looked out onto the runway. Off to one corner was a discreet area for a shower. This must be where the frequent flying elite brush up. I sat at one of the comfortable seats and just stared outside until I had to go. Blissful. One of the main benefits of the lounge is of course, free food and refreshments. I'm guessing they rotate through different international fare. That day, I was only up for something soupy because I was sick. Luckily for me, they had laksa noodles. Even more luckily for me, I found it very tasty. Sipping away at my laksa and unlimited earl grey tea certainly helped put me to sleep for 8 hours straight on the plane ride afterwards. Yes, there were more people than I thought there would be. Yes, there were a surprising amount of families and kids. But this isn't some 18+, extra exclusive lounge. If I have my family with me and earned/paid my way into the lounge, what am I gonna do? Leave my kids outside? I happened across a previous review that starts with: "It blows my mind when I see 4 and 5 star ratings for this lounge. Have you never been to another lounge before?" No, Jordan. I haven't. Because I'm a broke af young adult that just finished paying off college debts, goddammit. Chill. Let me enjoy your privilege for once. (17/100) - 2018

It's a huge space with multiple areas including a children's area. There are also showers. For dinner they offered 2 kinds of soups, a salad bar, a meatless pasta, a mushroom with tofu (so salty!), rice pilaf, Asian bbq chicken, chips and salsa, 4 kinds of cookies and 2 kinds of cakes. There's also coffee machines, canned pops, canned sparkling water, juices, spirits and wines. Food was below average. I would rather not come back. I stayed an hour and no one had removed my plates.

The Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge was very full when we arrived. There were 3 of us, and by happenstance we found 3 chairs...in a hallway. After setting up base camp, I went on the prowl to see what foods were available. It's a large lounge, and with it being pretty packed, it felt chaotic, but on the plus side, there is a lot of natural light. First let me start with the good- they had a nice array of beverages that were self serve- including 7-up with real sugar. Not corn syrup. It was so good! The food though, was a bizarre assortment, and few options at that. I walked the spread about 4 times before I grabbed a plate because I could not wrap my head around what I was seeing. Nothing made sense. There were 4 steam pots- one with a meat entree, one with a veggie dish, one with steamed rice and something else I cannot recall. There was also a salad bar, but it lacked true variety and the dressings were limited to oil and vinegar. There were 2 soups and...wait for it- tortilla chips! To go with what, I have no idea. Once I surveyed the food assortment, I helped myself to a citrus chicken dish, rice and veggies. The veggies were the best part. They were seasoned alright, but nothing to really write home about. The rice was, well; just rice and the citrus chicken was bland. I could barely detect a citrus flavor. Once I got back to our base camp, it was my husband's turn and he got chicken soup with tortilla chips, lol! The food offerings, just didn't measure up to other lounge offerings, and the odd assortment of food just seemed like a farce. Once we ate our food, it was time to head out. The lounge was getting even more congested and being seated in the hallway was a bit claustrophobic. For a lounge of this size, the food options are shockingly small, but within that, the food quality and assortment is an afterthought. The great service and food I'm accustomed to receiving on Air Canada flights is nonexistent. It's almost like a different brand.

There is some stupid rule that while OneWorld Emerald Members can use the First Class Lounge, they aren't actually allowed to eat or drink there, even though the lounge has a service restaurant and a bar.

There are no showers or restrooms--at least according to the staff who really wanted to be anywhere but there. If you have nowhere else to go and you need to sit in a dry, hungry, quiet and you enjoy indifferent service, come here.

We were able to catch the 5 o clock dinner time. They had some hot foods like a dumpling station, pasta station, some meats and a cake station. Nice sit down meal. Free wifi, but not too many outlets available for plug ins.

The wait was about 20 minutes, which was reasonable. However, once inside, it was difficult to find a seat due to how packed it was. The hot food selection was very disappointing, and I honestly can't believe people pay $$$ for this level of service. The offerings included frozen basa fillet in a coconut-based sauce, overcooked chow mein, mayo-heavy coleslaw, and frozen chicken dumplings--overall worse than a decent food court meal, or even an average airplane meal. I understand that a domestic lounge may cater to short-stay travelers, but since international passengers are also being accommodated here, there should be a wider variety and better quality of hot food options.
