Review Summary

Overall, Aspire AMEX Salon/Lounge comes across as stylish, clean, and well lit with a calm ambience and friendly service, though experiences vary widely. Many guests praise the modern design, easy table service, quick drinks, and a strong coffee and cocktail program, along with comfortable seating and good views of the airport. Food experiences are more mixed: some dishes are described as fresh, well prepared and flavorful, while others note small portions, limited vegetarian options, and an ordering system that requires one item at a time via QR code, with kitchen pauses and occasional long waits. A common thread is the a la carte concept without a buffet, which some appreciate for variety but others feel reduces value when meals arrive slowly. Access can be busy and entry may involve waiting or pre booking; several reviews mention occasional understaffing and occasional slow service during peak times. Restroom availability is inconsistent across locations, which factors into the overall impression for some travelers.

We are here now & almost at the end of our 3 hours

We were free to choose our own table based on other reviews I will say it's common sense to not get a 4 top if you are a 2 person.

We were immediately given water & walked through how to do the table service.

Food was all good. The menu is posted before you walk in so you know your choices. Food was quick. Drinks were quick. We did a 3-6 pm.

Manager went to every table to check in & make conversations with everyone about their trips. Staff were all nice.

View of the planes & the happenings were nice. Lots of places to charge comfy seats. & you only walk 30 feet to the washroom. I wouldn't skip by here I think it was a lovely experience.

As soon as I walked through the doors, I felt acknowledged & welcomed. I really appreciated that everything was à la carte, & the cocktails were a definite plus, setting this lounge apart from others. Highly recommended!

I am honestly surprised by the negative reviews, I had a great experience here.

From the moment I arrived, I was walked to my table & noticed how clean & well-kept the place was. The service was super fast, & since I went on December 31st, the lounge wasn't busy at all, there were hardly 10 people so it felt very relaxed.

I really enjoyed the food I ordered: the spinach eggplant lasagna, focaccia bread, hummus, & the chocolate orange cake were all delicious & fresh. I also had a wholesome conversation with the waitress, which made the experience even better.

My only small suggestion would be to add more dessert options if possible, but overall everything was great & I have no complaints. I'd definitely come back!

MLL Client, here because our lounge is closed. So glad it was. We walked right in at lunch time on a Sunday. The food was excellent & the table ordering via QR code was simple & fast. It is smaller than the MLL down the hall, but brighter, cleaner. We chose a table but there are variety of options. Loved the service - - staff were more than friendly. Thanks YUL domestic / you exceeded expectations

I had a great experience at the Aspire International Longue thanks to the wonderful receptionist! From the moment I walked in, she greeted me warmly & helped guide me through the menu with patience & a friendly attitude. Even though the cafeteria was busy, she stayed calm, organized, & made everyone feel welcomed.

Her name is Zora, & she is such a super kind girl with an amazing attitude. She was so smiley the whole time, & her positive energy truly made my day. It's not often you meet someone who can brighten your travel experience like that. Thank you, Zora, you made my day very good!
