3.5 stars. This is a transborder lounge catering for the international flights out of YUL. It does get quite congested during the afternoon 3-7 rush of the red-eye over the pond. There are great tarmac views along with a cooking station of hot foods (stay away from the poutine... yes I know this is Montreal but do yourself a favour, pass on it!). The smoked meat is not bad but not a fan of the toasted sammie. There is a coke dispenser along with bottled juice. The alcohol is served from the bar and not self serve like it's domestic counterpart. The big plus is there are 2 shower rooms to freshen up before your flight out. read more

Very basic, but lots of comfortable seating. Alcohol available from 11am on, but no bar service as you just pour your own beer etc. Breakfast spread had sausage, eggs, oatmeal, and beans as the hot options. Cold options included salad fixings and some basic bread. Was not overcrowded on a Wednesday morning. Wifi worked well. read more

We spent a couple hours here waiting for our flight to IAD. It was busy when we arrived around 11A and got busier by noon when most of the seating was occupied. Not all seats have access to an outlet for charging so we had to wait until one opened up. The food options were two soups, rice, beef and pasta dishes. There were guacamole plus three salad options in the refrigerated section. Bagels, bread, pitas and cookies rounded out the remaining food items. For drinks, alcohol and beer were self service and sodas were available from the fountain dispenser or cans in the refrigerator. Overall taste was just ok. Not as enjoyable as the read more

Compared to most United Clubs I've visited, Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge at YUL sets a higher bar. The vibe itself is similar, modern, minimalist. The food service however is far superior. Firstly, food orders can be delivered to your seat by scanning a QR: super convenient and safer. United does not have this service. Secondly, there is a food bar like United's with two different features that are user friendly: All food options are packaged and ready for a Togo bag in case you are on your way to catch a flight with minutes to spare. Super cool.Food provided is not your generic cheese cubes, crackers, wraps and Saran coated fruit. At this Maple Leaf Lounge You get warm/cold sandwiches, good salads, lemon bars, cakes, and other proteins. Will United ever get to this level of service for its customers? I do not know. But I do know that I've been served the same kind of food at United Club Lounges for over 10 years. It has not changed much (only the bread). So if I were in NY's EWR airport (like this last trip) where food options abound, I bring food into the United lounge and get free drinks and munchies. One less star. It can get crowded in here like United Clubs so finding a seat can b a problem during peak hours. And there are not enough power sources to recharge. End of Yelp. read more

Busy lounge in Montreal Trudeau with good food options! I had a solid meal before my flight. It was difficult to find a seat, but some of the other lounges we tried with AMEX access were full already. The bathrooms have cool lighting. read more

Having elite status with air canada and other airlines . I would sadly say this is one of the worst lounges . I would be really pissed if I had to pay $50 per person per visit. The food selection is terrible and the service is no better. The Air Canada hostess was very professional and polite but this location needs update and better food selection. read more

The first and second time I was here in the lounge (this is the DOMESTIC one near gate 2), it was quiet and peaceful. The third time, it was a madhouse of screaming children that were out of control and their parents didn't care. WTF, folks? Like most non-American lounges, the booze is self-serve with a cooler of canned sodas. Food is decent, with a platter of hummus and toasted pita breads, veggies for dipping, salsa and chips and olives. Plus two different soups with fresh sliced baguettes for dipping. Great! Internet service is free and it worked well. Air Canada: Either your lounge attendant needs to tell parents to have their kids STFU or you should add a room for families. I pay extra for this lounge access and if I wanted to spend the time listening to these rugrats, I'd just go into the terminal! read more

Spacious, well appointed, and stellar service make this one of the best airport lounges. To begin, the space is long and has plenty of varied seating--tables, comfy chairs, couches, little nooks to get some privacy. They also have all sorts of charging options, including charging "lockers" with cords so that you can leave your phone while you sleep or eat. The star of the place is probably the full buffet with a station where you can pick your ingredients and someone will stir fry them for you, two kinds of gourmet mac and cheese, a few meat and stew options, salads, dessert, all manner of coffee and wine and a full bar. It also has newspapers, a wide array of magazines in English and French, and showers (if you are staying that long). The staff is incredibly hard working and efficient. They scoop up your glass almost as soon as you finish your drink. read more

I had the privilege of flying in Business Class so the Maple Leaf Lounge was included with my ticket purchase. Getting into the lounge was super easy, all they do is scan the boarding pass and you're on your way in. I have been in many airport lounges throughout my travels and this one was underwhelming. (The lounge is for Canada to USA Flights, not the International one). The food selection was not the best. I had a chocolate chip cookie though. The refreshments were good. I had a nice port wine before my flight to relax. The seating was decent with some large chairs. The bathrooms were also clean. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit the lounge, but having an airport lounge to relax and in get free WiFi is always a perk. Additionally, the beverage selection was good. read more

There are three Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges at Montreal Trudeau Airport (Domestic, Trans-border and International). This review is for the Air Canada Maple Leaf Trans-border Lounge located airside near gate 75. Open to Star Alliance premium class passengers, Star Alliance Gold card holders and Maple Leaf Club members, the Air Canada Maple Leaf Trans-border Lounge is small but offers a decent place to eat, relax and be productive before your flight. Because these flights arrive into the United States as domestic flights, you must clear through US Customs and Immigration control in order to access the trans-border gates. The lounge is open from 5:00 AM to 7:30 PM daily. Priority Pass members can only access the National Bank World Lounge located near gate 52 of the international departures area if you are traveling internationally. And because this is the only Star Alliance Lounge in the trans-border area, it can get crowded, loud and busy at peak times. Like I said earlier, this is a small lounge but it's actually very clean, beautiful and modern. The focal point of the lounge is this beautiful open-ended fireplace located in the center of the lounge. There is one wall of windows that allows a ton of natural light in. It's bright, airy and has views of the boarding gates. There is no separate area for first class passengers but I don't think there are any flights with first class cabins departing from the trans-border gates. The lounge is long and narrow and the seating area is mainly along the windows facing the boarding gates. There are a variety of seating options but none of them include loungers, recliners or anything that you could sleep on. There is a small work area with individual cubicles if you need to stay productive. WiFi was provided throughout the lounge and there are plenty of power outlets to keep your devices charged. There's a food station with a pretty decent offering of soups, salads (kale, pasta, quinoa, etc.), fruits, cheese/crackers, cookies and pastries. There's also a fridge with beers and juices, soda fountain, coffee/cappuccino machine and a self-serve bar with a sizable selection of alcohol. Flight information boards were displayed in the front of the lounge and you had to monitor them yourselves because they did not make any gate or boarding announcements. Other amenities included printers, PC workstations, newspaper and magazines. There were no shower rooms here. The lounge was kept clean and there were employees constantly cleaning, busing dishes and refilling the food counter. Overall, this lounge was pretty nice. It was small and crowded but definitely better than the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge at CDG or any domestic US based airline lounge that I have ever visited. read more

Love the help yourself bar. Guiniess on tap is awesome. Food is healthy and light. Soup always available, never that good but the French bread and butter take it up two notches. I have to agree with the Bruce K. kids do seem to run wild here. I am happy to say during my visit they were not American. Service is friendly, lots of AC plugs and free and easy WiFi. On the top end of the pier. read more

The Maple Leaf Lounge located in the transborder section of YUL is clean and well-appointed, and there's a good amount of room to get set up and do some work (or relax and read one of the many magazines offered in both French and English). The food offerings vary in quality, but are much better than anything you'll find in a US-based carrier's airline lounges. Surprisingly good was the Canadian pea and bacon soup, which had a nice little kick to it! Of course, the most important difference between airline lounges to the north and south of the border - complimentary alcoholic beverages, all self-serve. Vive la difference! If you're a Star Alliance Gold member, you have free access to this lounge and it's worth visiting. Is it worth purchasing a day pass? Probably not, unless you're experiencing a significant flight delay. read more

I went to the Lounge on the American side of Dorval. Not only was I amused that the beer taps served Guinness and Coors Light, I was not amused that the taps didn't open until 11am on a Monday. But the rating is relative to the other airline lounges I've been in. I didn't see shower options and the continental breakfast offerings were meager. I couldn't hear flight announcements which can be a bad thing. The gate information is also in an inconvenient location opposite opposite of where you come in. I'm not sure why anyone should pay a 30 dollar entry fee much less a 45 dollar one depending on your ticket fare. read more

This review is for the International lounge. Well appointed and a nice buffet. The self serve bar focuses more on wine and liquor than beer, which is fine. It can get very busy but the ambient noise level remains low thankfully. Large windows give great views of the aircraft and taxi runways. read more

Before boarding our short flight to Toronto, we visited the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge. The lounge had clearly marked signs, which was easy to spot. The lounge is rather spacious and was relatively empty when we got there. There are several different seating areas with relatively comfortable chairs, as well as a high top work table with outlets. There were all types of breakfast foods laid out including muffins, bread, pastries, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, cheese, and fruit. The restroom is large and well maintained. They do have shower facilities, however I did not get a chance to take a peek since I was only in the lounge for a short period of time. The Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge is a nice quiet place to relax before your flight. Food options are rather limited, but the lounge itself is clean and well kept. read more

Salon Feuille d'Érable - The size of the lounge is good... nonetheless the service and food is way below the average. - Airport Lounges Near Me - Dorval, Quebec

I adore the Maple Leaf Lounge: hot soup (or oatmeal for those zero dark stupid flights), other tasty treats, comfy leather chairs, free wi-fi, quiet, looking at planes and free pouring the booze of my choice...what's not to love? Almost makes me glad to not have a life and instead spend my time travelling for work. Unlike most of the reviewers, I do not pay for lounge access given that I have airline status, so I am not as cranky about noise (there are designated business areas where there are no kids, cell phones or people watching Youtube videos sans earphones)...just walk around the corner and you'll see this area. The MLL is not as nice as the Star Alliances lounges in Europe or Asia, but for North America, it's the best we've got! read more

Kind of an average lounge. Food offerings were very minimal (bean salad, stale bread and chips/salsa). Three beers on tap, and a generous DIY cocktail selection that was much appreciated after a long line in customs! I'm not sure the other lounges in YUL are any better, if I'm back again I'll check them out. All in all, an acceptable way to pass the time but below what I would expect. read more

In the increasingly competitive world of airport lounges, Maple Leaf is pretty plane Jane. As Centurion lounges expand and others upgrade, places like Maple Leaf will soon have to follow suit. As with all lounges it's a plus to be away from the chaos of the boarding gates, but in terms of offerings, this place is just average. The food consists of some soup dishes, mini entrees and chips and salsa There's a decent amount of seating and a fairly big view of the planes outside. It's a decent lounge, but nothing to write home about. read more

Unlike the Maple Leaf International Lounge near Gate 52, this the Maple Leaf Domestic Lounge. While the staff is very friendly, the facility is run down, filthy and lacks most amenities frequent travelers are seeking. Furniture is broken and wallpaper is falling off in many areas. Breakfast includes only greasy US style foods: fried eggs, terrible sausages and hash browns. Where is that French European spirit? No USB charging ports, few AC outlets, no quiet areas and dirty bathrooms add to the overall very poor standard of this lounge. Please renovate the place to the same standards as in Vancouver, Edmonton or Toronto, let alone international lounges. read more

Old, worn out furniture needs to be replaced. It is torn and the foam stuffing is coming out on several chairs. The lounge is generally filthy. All the surfaces need a good sanitizing wipe down and the floors and carpets need to be cleaned. There is dried food everywhere - on the floors, carpets, chairs, tables,etc. This place is gross. read more

Fancy new Air Canada lounge in the international departures area. Has a larger food selection than the domestic lounge and also a full bar with bartenders which is a nice touch.

Sure, I'm a "fan". If your boarding pass permits entry and you have the time before or between flights, by all means, go relax have a wine / coffee & a snack. There are 2 Maple Leaf lounges at YUL, depending on within Canada or international destination. read more

I love this quiet lounge. I was only able to stay here for a little it but I ended up staying for a long time due to flight delay. This lounge is quiet and peaceful.

I would def come back again when I fly from YUL next time. read more

My partner and I were mesmerized by the gorgeous new and modern yet cozy interior design at the international maple leaf lounge. We were pleasantly surprised to see quite an extensive layout of scrumptious hot and cold dishes at the dinner buffet including on the spot stir fried noodles. The chef Sinan was very fast, friendly, and a great cook. He even garnished the plate and gave it to us with both hands which is very respectful. Afterwards we enjoyed a delectable chocolate mousse and a fresh fruit cup served in a shot glass. There is also a bar there, although that did not appeal to us because we do not drink. The clean up was really efficient too ie by the time we returned from the buffet with our second helping our dishes had been taken away. I'm a server and I was impressed by the efficient bussing and service quality. Overall, wonderful experience. read more

All of the lounges in Canada are ok. I love the fact that you can grab a few free magazines, a free drink and a nice at your own disposal. I would like to say however, as a Star Alliance Elite member, that there are so many better lounges across Europe that offer better food. This year the Maple Leaf Lounge added hummus and pita, which is nice but still relatively cheap to make (or to plate, as I am sure its all pre-made anyways). In the end this is the only place where you can have a snack, and a drink for free so I guess you can really complain now can you. If you have a pass to go in, make sure you do, if you don't find someone that does its great to kill some time. I would also add that they have decent wines, so if you like wine tasting the ones they have on hand is always a good idea. read more

For an international lounge, I was expecting a bit more pizzazz. But nope. It had some small cold dishes, a vegetarian pizza underneath a hot lamp and jar of cookies. On the bright side, there was ample beer on tap. The place had ample seating and was quite quiet. This is nice to get some work done prior to the flight. It's definitely a place to relax and unwind. read more

Truly pitiful. This review is for the TRANSBORDER lounge (I.e. going to the USA) which is the pitiful step brother to the apparently amazing international lounge. No chef-made dinner or bartender. The food when I was there was pasta, potato salad, quinoa and chocolate chip cookies. Zero protein, all greasy carbs. They did have self serve alcohol and the lounge itself was quiet when I went but just don't expect to get dinner or be wowed by the interior design. Being an Air Canada lounge in Canada, this was supremely disappointing. read more

Salon Feuille d'Érable - This is what's for dinner at this lounge - Airport Lounges Near Me - Dorval, Quebec

3.5 stars. Like others say, it's better than airline lounges in US in terms of food and beverage offering. Cookies, cheese, some vegetable/hummus/cold pasta salad, cous cous and spring rolls and mini quiche. And full bar with wine, liquors and beverage. Also soup... Sitting area can get crowded and it's closed after morning around 10:30 am and re-open at 2:30 pm. Well.. better than sitting in the hallway.. read more
