Assuming you are not paid JCDZP and therefore no signature lounge entry, the Intl MLL should have the normal dubious offerings.
Sorry I meant 10:40, you're correct haha, was looking at something else when I typed that!

I posted it in the forum lounge thread, guess it got moved?

Nope, my mistake! 10:40 departure.

Thanks for the help!

It did any my apologies as thought the question was regarding a lounge in FRA so have relocated the posts to the AC lounge food thread since your query is about food at YYZ MLL.

I recently had a few flights over the pond on AC instead of UA. Had a layover in YUL and found that MLL amazing. One of the best food offerings I‘ve seen in a regular Star Gold lounge in a long time. Even an on-site cook that prepared fresh Asian noodle dishes. On the way back I transited through YYZ and found that MLL (intl) to be way less special. Both stays were during regular dinner hours (between 6 and 8 pm). Why has their main hub a worse lounge? Or was I simply too stupid to see the good stuff?

The YUL and YVR international MLLs are quite new in the system compared to the 10+ year-old YYZ International MLL, hence the difference in most things. Of course, if you're paid J out of YYZ international, then you also have access to the new Signature Suite, which others have posted is "restaurant-like".

If you went through YYZ on your way from Europe to the US, you weren't at the international MLL, you were at the US departures MLL. Nonetheless yyznomad's comments about the relative mediocrity of the YYZ international MLL are on point.

I know most of these details are buried in the thread, but a bunch of searching, scrolling, and googling has only turned up limited and dated info.

Asking for a friend.
It actually seems to me like it would be tremendously useful to have a wiki with a quick summary of what's available and when at all of the various MLLs, since it requires a massive amount of digging to find anything specific in this thread. I don't spend a lot of time in MLLs these days (I've probably spent at least 10x more time in the YYC Aspire TB lounge in the past year than in all MLLs combined), but I'll do what I can to contribute...

I've created the wikipost and outlined a skeleton of what I think could potentially be useful, but obviously this will have to be a team effort to create the content, and there may be a better way of presenting it than what I've done so far...

@Adam Smith
Thanks for starting the wiki. I accepted your challenge and added as much info as I have based on photos from others as well as my own visits.
I've also noted which posts have photos of food from various meal times.

Perhaps others here can get a photo of the sign that has the hours of operation for each MLL and more details of food offerings.

.

I added some comments on YYZ Dom and YYC and turned the photo references in to links so no need to scroll.

This would have been a great project for @yyznomad in 2017, he probably would have had it pretty much built out in a couple of days.

Yeah I thought about that too. I was too consumed with starting/building the amenity kit wiki at the time.

Having said that, there are several threads in this forum that really should have a wiki so that the same stuff doesn't get rehashed every 18 posts or whatever.

Currently in the YYZ Domestic......

Hash browns are cold
Scrambled eggs are warmish
The sausages scare me, but there is some great banana porn on display near the coffee machine

Make sure to arrive earlier next time to get warmer food

Are the bananas of the over-ripe variety? These are nasty and only suitable for baking or making bananes flambées. Oh hey, you have everything you need in a MLL to make a banane flambée - some spiced rum, a bit of sugar, a square of butter and a banana. You only need to find an open flame!
