[mod hat] I have separated the pre-opening discussion from the post-opening ones. [/mod hat]

In here now and it’s good, I like it.
No hot food in the restaurant until 17.30 so I’ll miss out today but a hot buffet upstairs which is fine.
Staff excellent and attentive.
The lighting is a bit bright IMO creating a slight stark atmosphere but not a big deal.
All things considered, way better than BA’s but I think I prefer the noodle bar at the CX lounge so may end up there more times than not.
Especially if Cathay are to be leaving OW soon, I’d like to enjoy it whilst I can.

Bubbles
Bubbles now available in the QF London Lounge. But you have to know to ask for it, and my request went through three different people, and a bizare check of my boarding card before I was served. Other info, there is a very good hot menu (great eggs benedict today) but its only served until 11am.

Do you have any pics of the menu by chance?

It was Croser being offered out this morning. I think the lightning needs a bit work - was really quite bright. Some of the finishing in the lounge is quite patchy... if you are sat at the downstairs bar, just take a look at the faux marble surrounding the stairs - I wouldn’t have been happy signing that work off. Nice lounge but it’ll still be CX for me.

The BA T5 First Lounge often has has a drink promotions with loads of different gins often from small producers in the lounge which is great. But that Gin section in the Qantas lounge is very impressive. I'll have to find an excuse to fly out of T3 to try them out (hic!).

I was there yesterday afternoon(salads, Veg biryani, chicken tikka masala etc). Food was okay. Most of the action was on the top floor (food, showers, bar). A lot of staff walking around and some were being trained as well. I ate in CX F Lounge and popped in for a drink and shower in QF Lounge. I prefer the CX showers(better design, place to keep bag). I left in 10 minutes and then visited the BA Flounge for a pack of crisps before heading for my gate. I would rate as CX F > CX J > QF

Images of all the menus
Another review of the lounge here, with a somewhat different angle from a foodie - hence, lots of images of the menus throughout the day, food and details of the sparkling...

I have not yet visited the lounge yet , however my good friend confirmed they were serving Krug at the time he was there ( 30/11). I do have a thought in the back of my mind that this must of been left over from the PR even the night before perhaps ?...
