Does anyone know what the current dinner menu is? The pics etc aren’t that recent and perhaps things have changed.

Foolishly didn’t take a pic but has been updated again. Starters have lost octopus but gained foie gras and chicken liver parfait, a (over cooked) risotto, mains also updated with a lightly smoked fish dish and desserts have lost vegan brownie but gained chic (aka choc) mousse with raspberry ice cream.

Does AC know the menu has changed and forgot to update the page for the Suite?

International connection through YYZ today, and flying up front on a revenue ticket. Great chance to finally try out the SSL!

Oh, wait... I'm on rouge to BOG. Even though it cost more than many TATLs in J. So no access.

Thanks! I was on that page but must have read too quickly. Missed the link.

I had the Braised Beef a couple of days ago on the way to AMS, wow as usual AC just missed the boat, as AA UA and Delta are making spectacular lounges, AC ends up making a crowded restaurant. ( and calls it a lounge in its #1 airport in the world. sad ( the place was slammed at 7pm on a Sunday)
AMEX can do a better job.

I've not been to the SSL, but the Centurion lounges in SFO and LAS have both been overcrowded whenever I've been there. Not to mention ratty old furniture and underwhelming food offerings. I haven't considered them to be much better than most of the MLLs and not nearly as nice as DL SCs.

It’s pretty quiet during the day and up till 6 PM and then after eight or 830 but between seven and eight it’s really busy. All the tables are taken in the restaurant area and it’s hard to catch anybody in the bar area If you want anything at the table

They only have regular Sky Lounges - nothing extra for TATL/TPAC C-class passengers. Just visit DL forum - folks moan all the time that they do not have dedicated long haul C-class lounges. AA Flagship Lounges are also very, very crowded during the peak hours and food-wise (IMHO) AC is better.

Before the SSL, the MLL was so packed that we could only sit on the floor during the peak times for all of the mid evening TATLs.

I’m on AC 15 this morning.

There are actually quite a few people in here. Mostly the LHR crowd.
