Lunch at YYZ landside
Upcoming 3 hour layover at YYZ, arriving from the US and flying onward to Japan (both flights on AC). US citizen with ABTC but no NEXUS. Is this enough time to pop out of the sterile area to get lunch with a local friend? And what's the most convenient venue assuming said friend is not flying anywhere that day?

If you want a decent meal, there is the Sheraton and Alt hotels available via monorail. Otherwise your options are extremely limited for someone not able to clear international security with you. Like Starbucks (maybe?) and Tim Hortons which rather limited seating. Though better at T1 then T3. What is ABCT? |
Thanks a bunch.

Personally I wouldn't risk it. Anything worth going to with a friend is still like a good 15 minute drive away minimum if not more. Also security can be slow depending on the time of day if you aren't in the priority lane.

I would say that three hours is not really enough time to go anywhere half decent without feeling rushed. If you want to try it, however, I would recommend the Keg. It is less than 5 mintues from the airport if your friend is picking you up and dropping you off.

If you have more time, I'd recommend this restaurant by Airport Rd
Zet`s Restaurant | All Day Breakfast Toronto Airport If you just need to meet your folks, perhaps 7-11 on the first floor by domestic arrival area where you can grab something much cheaper than the airside? Where you can meet briefly and get back into security line. |
Security usually is very slow at YYZ. 3 hours are in my opinion not sufficient to go out and back.

Hope that provides some insight! Safe Travels, James |
