    a take out box with rice and chicken

    As a frequent flyer, I always choose to fly with Air Canada because of the points and the perks. One of the perks is free access along with a friend to the Maple Leaf Lounge. I have been to this Maple Leaf Lounge pre-covid and after covid. Nowadays, you have the options of ordering food by using a QR code and that is pretty cool. Food is still meh regardless of which Maple Leaf Lounge you go to. At least now they have added chips to the food options and that is good. I don't drink but for those that do, they will definitely enjoy the time here. All food and drinks are included in the lounge access.

    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.

    If you're looking for a calm oasis after the chaos of security, this lounge is your golden…read moreticket--spacious, organized, and serving food that'll make you forget you're in an airport. 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've never been to this T3 Plaza Premium lounge (near gate B23) before. Unfortunately I seemed to…read morehave written a previous review stating I was at the US departure lounge, which this isn't. However, I see other people's photos and the interiors don't match either! I am currently flying international so I thought this was an international lounge. After I left the lounge, I discovered another Plaza Premium lounge near gate C31). So I asked the staff there. They said they were the official International lounge and I was in the Domestic lounge! So it appears Domestic and International departures have no security barrier between them, just the US departures have a secuirty barrier due to their advanced customs clearance at the Toronto airport. People using the lounge passes from credit cards are limited to 2 hours of use. You can pre-book your entry time if you wish for US$9/person. When you enter the lounge, you have to show your complimentary passes or purchase them. There is also a self-serve entry kiosk. The lounge looked clean. There are a few attendants picking up finished dishes and cleaning tables. We arrived at 07:00 with their breakfast service. There is plenty of options. There are 5 hot dishes (sausage, scrambled egg, potato wedges, baked beans, and egg burrito), oatmeal, salad (balsamic vinaigrette is available), cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, cereal, bakery items (bagel, bread, muffin), pop machine, and hot drinks machine. I like their milk hot chocolate. The latte was missing milk! The oatmeal is very watery and bland. There are 4 toppings but it didn't include brown sugar. The bar (for alcoholic beverages) opened before 08:00. All food and drinks are self-serve except for the alcohol. There are condiments. However, the condiment bottles/containers are with the food section, so i had to go back twice to put some pepper on my food; they don't have little pepper/salt packages. There are tables and counter seating for eating food, lounge chairs, etc. There is free WiFi. The lounge is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washroom and they are wheelchair accessible. Review 2026-112

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.

As a lounge primarily affiliated with an airline instead of a credit card, the lounge was fairly empty when I visited (dinner time Saturday night) and we were able to get in without any difficulties. It was generally quiet but felt not much different from waiting in the terminal. The staff clean the tables fairly infrequently so it was hard to tell which tables were in use and which hadn't been turned over yet. The food was decent- about the same quality as regular airport food and there were some vegan and vegetarian options of soup, build your own salad, and some hot plate foods. Of course there is a coffee machine and fridges full of canned Pepsi products, bubly sparkling water, and Schepps products. There is an open self serve bar as well with a pretty wide selection of liquors. The bathrooms were a little better than what's in the terminals, but still hit or miss on sanitation.

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. I did confirm from BA that this is "policy".... dumb policy .... but policy. Electrical outlets were very scarce. There were some in the floor that I managed to use. 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.

However still a great experience, it was fairy close to my gate. The reception was so friendly and notified us when our flight was boarding via (PA). It had a nice area for complimentary drinks (full bar) - however it is self service so my DIY Caesar was pretty terrible. They have specific hot meal times. 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.

When it got to my turn, since I had no time to spend in the lounge (too close to departure), A staff member scooped and boxed up the food for me, placed it nicely in a paper bag, gave me a bottle of water for me and my guest and I was on my way.

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.
