That's something that I have neither seen nor looked for. I am sure I will come to need or want it some day.
I wanted the MAD T4 arrivals lounge because I got in relatively early from BOG and had not had breakfast on my IB flight because the catering out of BOG is goddam awful. They had similar things to the IB lounges, tortilla, cheese triangles, yogurt, bananas. They also have a fridge with cook-chill meals but I did not see anywhere to heat it up. Not that I wanted spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast. Coffee machine is bean to cup I think and just fine. They call the eating area the cafeteria and it is quiet and spotless.
I also wanted to go online and activate a voice/data bundle on my UK mobile so I could roam in Spain. Bear in mind that the arrivals lounge has no wifi, I think this is a MAD thing, since T4 was built they seem to have had strict rules about who is allowed wifi. They have a couple of iMac terminals with internet in front of reception desks, not really a viable alternative if you want to check emails in your own client but it worked out for me on this occasion.
