Best T3 lounge pls
Long time since I used LHR T3, which is the "best" lounge (gold access) for food and drink, before a BOB in ET ? Not looking to steal only consume, it's a generational thing.
Thanks
Thanks

It's been asked many times on the board and I think current winner is CX F lounge.
Only additional point is if you need very fast wifi head to the AA lounge.

Cathay Pacific first class lounge (accessible by BA Gold) has a table service dining area that is good quality and the business section has some self service options too.

(I did last week. The Admirals lounge was a zoo. I couldn't get over the queue for the coffee machine. One guy had five measures of espresso in a single cup - a paper cup BTW, as everyone was - even though there was a pile of various sized cups and crockery on a shelf just above the machine.)

Ms Flatlander is starting to ask "which terminal does our [BA] flight leave from?" and when told "Terminal 5" she expresses regret that she will not be able to use the CX lounge. I foresee her preferring destinations from T3 in future.
I think that's all there needs to be said.

Anyone know what the CX lounge is like for breakfast? I saw there was a thread but that seems to be from the pre refurb days.
Must admit BA do provide a decent full English in the F lounge - but if CX does something comparable then why bother with BA?
Also it (still) appears I'm the only on that quite likes the FlAAgship Lounge. Comfortable seating and never too busy when I'm in there. Sure the food options aren't too great but what I tend to do is eat in the BA lounge then pop over to AA to relax.

New London Heathrow (LHR) lounge - experience and reviews
There is a link to the CX F lounge menus in the wiki at the top of the page. Post #5 has the breakfast menu. I was there last week and it's the same breakfast menu. There was nobody in the F lounge when I arrived at 07:35. People started to arrive about half an hour later and the seating area for breakfast started to fill up shortly after.

Visited CX Business in early Feb 17. I wouldn't rave about the English fayre on offer, but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed the Danish pastries, coffee and juice, and the food coming back from the noodle bar, which, sadly, I didn't try, looked great.
