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

Yes.

Understanding that no one knows but AC, any chance the transborder MLL opens by August?
I refer you to the following video material:

Ehh I could see an August opening for hub TB lounges, especially if Americans are allowed in starting late July.

But I wouldn't make any plans that require it.

Per the concierge in YWG - "B" stations like YWG are planning to open in Aug if not earlier
Did not expect them to have the unique and interesting menus like the larger stations though

Are you being sarcastic? I’ll be in the MLL tomorrow and really don’t want nausea on a red eye.

Just had it now. A little heavy on the ranch for my liking (though not as much as in the OP’s photo) but all in all decent enough.

Well, when it comes to MLL food, grain of salt... it's much better than past offerings and is "tasty" in that isn't bland, the meat is not dry, and you don't get diarrhea. I had two in one order and was satiated/satisfied.

Yeah, "decent" is a good and basic description.

New Menu in YYZ MLL as of this week
Breakfast Burrito - Update on the cold snacks, Didnt get a chance to snap a pic of that menu, but nice to have a change from the same old from the past 10 Months

it's same as last week too but the wiki wasn't updated (I thought the yyz bkfast wiki had been but I guess not)

updated: I think I'm incorrect, I had the same items this morning and thought it was the same as last week but it is indeed different

Is it different from last week, or just different from what's in the wiki? Since the menus were all changed on the 28th or 29th, I've either not been up before the YYZ breakfast menu has disappeared for the day or not remembered to screenshot it and update the wiki. So the wiki does not reflect the big menu update from last week for YYZ breakfast.

I forgot that I took screenshots and pictures last week.
the new yyz menu indeed existed last week as well (at least, on June 29)

YYZ breakfast burrito is fine.

Not great, but fine.

Okay, well, today I'm up early and remembered to update the wiki, so it has now been changed.

On the bright side, I assume the much-requested self-entry kiosks will finally be installed.
Even the ubiquitous Dollarama stores here in YUL have gone to self-checkout, so not a stretch to imagine that AC can muscle up the intellectual horsepower to make it so at the MLL's.
Wait a minute, it IS AC I'm talking about. Hmmm.

It's practically self serve entry. Walk up, scan your BP, it flashes green, they say thank you, and in you go.
