Lounge in Toronto

I thought that CX used the BA lounge in YYZ but upon further review it appears they're now using the KLM lounge? Anyone have experience with this lounge? I read some reviews from 2006 saying that the buffet was loaded with excellent pretzels...wondering if it's up to the usual BA/CX lounge facility.

I was in that lounge in June ...didn't know it was the KLM lounge as the front desk was staffed by a CX employee.
Very spartan lounge IMHO. No hot food, probably because it was only 9 am in the morning.

I was in Toronto in September and was directed to the BA lounge.

Was the typical BA lounge set-up. Fairly nice buffet breakfast too....

I flew out on October 31 and was directed to the KLM lounge. OK, nothing special on the buffet for breakfast. The OJ was Tropicana with the Aeroplan offer. I was tempted to copy down the code number on the container and see if anyone had claimed the miles

To be honest outside of the Pre-Flight Dining, I find the self service food selections at the BA lounge worse than the KL one. Furthermore one can "pay" $25 CDN to enter the KL lounge should they have no status.

Did this change given the shifted departure time of 827?

SOmething I just remembered about the KLM v. BA lounge. If I remember correctly at the BA lounge there was a CX rep on duty. At the KLM lounge it was just KLM staff.

Spend 90 mins in the KLM lounge this past Sunday night. Good flat screen to watch the football game, but other wise the place was loaded with three other flights. THere was a couple who sat by me who dicided to change their infant in the seat (not talking about sleep wear), and well, maybe this is more cost effective but maybe it would be better to put the OW carriers together.

I was there Nin. 11/3. It was crowed and there was almost no food. And not much of an alcohol selection. I went to BA lounge which was locked but some opened and told me to go to the KLM lounge.
