Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, International

It was quite busy for a Tuesday afternoon at Pearson Airport. In fact, even though the lounge has a large area and variety of seating options, it was so busy that it was hard to find a spot to sit and I was travelling alone.The staff were all friendly and cleaned up fast upon traveller's departing the lounge.Food was good. During my visit I enjoyed an orange juice, grilled chicken, rice and salad. It is buffet style. There were also burger slidders, soup, fruit and a variety of make your own salad options, but I didn't have a chance to try everything. I had two cookies and coffee for dessert. I was happy to find both oat and almond milk as a substitute option for milk, of course cream and milk is also provided. Coffee was by a machine, with different options, black, cappuccino, etc. If your interested in alcohol beverages, I noticed three beers on tap, table wine and a variety of common mixer alcohol choices that are self serve.All in all I would still go back to the lounge, as I have free access through my visa card, and the gate areas tend to be even busier then lounges most of the time. Plus you get unlimited food and drinks in the lounge, which is much cheaper then buying at the airport.Note: If there is a line for the lounge, it's never for very long, since this lounge can hold a fare amount of customers. When in doubt, go for a walk around the airport, there are other lounge options, plus maybe when you come back around the line will be gone. (This is what happened for me).

Disappointed by this lounge, the domestic and USA maple leaf lounges are better. Still had snacks and drinks and better and quieter seating than the main terminal of course. No water bottles or snacks to go (except apples/oranges) available either .

Embarrassing lounge to represent Air Canada at the largest Canadian city!The food was subpar!!! Looked and tasted like dog food. Air Canada should be ashamed of themselves. Virtually no selection The food was horrific, chewy, tasteless like it was just defrosted. Zero effort shows throughout!.I’ve been to many lounges around the world, and this is definitely one of the worst.I would expect this in a Third World country, but not in the home court of the largest and really great company like Air Canada.Really shameful !

It's a disappointing experience when you consider that this is the flagship lounge of a large international air carrier - Air Canada - located at their very own home hub!You'd expect more

Despite all the bad reviews, I enjoyed complementary lounge serevice came with my flight ticket. There were not huge varieties of food /dessert choice but it was enough for me to have simple lunch. Could have been better with some craft beers, there were some local eines available. Huge space with lots of comfotable sitting area.

Great!If you have a business class ticket, just checkin and thats it!Services are really great with unlimited food and liquor. Visited twice and both occasion, the lounge was packed near to its full capacity.

Decent food. Self-serve bar with a nice selection. **Be advised** This lounge closes at 23:30; however, food & alcohol begins being closed down from 22:30 onwards! Many-a-folks were thrown off by this.Try the chocolate cookies with white morsels. Delish!

The place is huge wirh many options to seat or work, very convenient located. Great selection of drinks. While food is always very simple with a few options for salad and dips, fruit a one dessert, 2 soups and three hot dishes. Basic but do the job

Pretty nice lounge. Was very busy when we were there but they limit access to the lounge once it gets quite busy. Seating was filled up for the most part but you can usually stake out who's leaving and grab a table and chairs quickly.The washrooms are very clean, as they should at a lounge. The food was good, not great. We are vegan, they have options, but they're mediocre. Desserts were good.I'd definitely return as it's a nice lounge when you're waiting for your flight.4/5.Follow me for more reviews, tips and photos!
