As of July 2022, MLLs appear to be largely back to normal operations.
Ordering to the table has been shut down, with most MLLs offering self-serve buffets similar to what was available pre-COVID.
Note that the EWR MLL has been permanently shut down as a result of changes/construction at EWR.
Showers
YYZ int - closed (Aug 12. They claimed all showers closed at YYZ but I was only at int.)
YVR tb - open
YVR int - open
YUL int - open

I've also been told N drinks is the absolute limit. Or N drinks per hour.
It's agent nonsense.
Fight it next time.

I tried all the new hot food in the YVR MLL, except for the dessert.

Well, MillennialMiles already posted photos so I didn't bother taking anything comprehensive.
I thought the loaded potato and turkey/brie flatbread dishes were quite good. I ordered multiples. (i.e. they weren't plastic and they actually had taste and nice texture)
I also liked the top half layer of the mac & cheese but it gets watered down on the bottom half. I ordered two just to make sure one wasn't a fluke.
I also tried all the YYZ breakfast and some of the lunch/dinner items.

When I was there this past weekend, I didn't see any replacements. Just additional variety of chips. They also got rid of the KitKats from the YYC MLL.
Is this the Filipino one? Rosa and some other lady in the morning/early afternoon are gems in the YYZ MLL. Who knew after a few drinks they would refer to me as their "friend"
I think yyznomad was impressed with my pics and review above that they decided not to take any
Yeah it's weird. She's been manning the serve area the last while and the only thing I got was a chamomile tea from her.
prior to that I ordered a bunch of hot food and got a green tea.
this was the only drink order I was going to make here, but now I kinda want to ask for another... but I've decided it's not worth it to make a fuss. I dont recognize her and think she's new. I'm assuming she's just doing her job and is erring on the side of caution.

But regarding YYZ, Rosa is fine. She remembers me everytime. I think mainly because she saw me every day for several months a few years ago, so we always do small talk.

It was also good when I had it the day after after taking it "To go" in the grab bag....probably one of the better deserts they've served. The new YYZ one is not that good.

Is the lounge in YWG open, or is it shut down?
