T3 GCH Which Lounge?
I have a gold card and am travelling to Lisbon - I have not used T3 before - I believe there is a galleries first lounge - how does it compare to T5 and can/should I use any other OW lounge? Thanks.

Try both CX and BA. CX is great for the noodles and, depending when you get there, the lounge can be very quiet.
BA Flounge at T3 has, as has been said, good booze.
Do both!

I've never used the BA T3 lounge at breakfast time although I doubt it's much different from the offering in T5. On that basis I would highly recommend the Finnair/CX lounge in T3 for breakfast. Very distinctive, tasty sausages and a few other fry-up style items as well as the noodles others have described. As others have said, they are all close by.

If you are feeling like a fat boy with a long flight (to HEL or LIS) why not have a (trimmed) bacon sandwich with a grey goose bloody mary, followed by wonton noodles with Tsingtao?

I pick either the CX or BA F lounge depending on whether or not I am in the mood for noodles. 
The AA lounge is only worth stopping by if you are on an AA flight and need assistance from the AAngels at the lounge (or want to get your security questioning done with before you head to the boarding gate). The AA F lounge is actually decent, but the J lounge/AC is a mess.
