Le salon Aspire AMEX est le seul salon commun de l’aérogare domestique de YUL à offrir un service de restauration sophistiqué à table. Vous pourrez y savourer des créations culinaires signées par des chefs locaux renommés ainsi que des cocktails signature élaborés par les bars à cocktails les plus distingués de Montréal.
Dans l’ensemble, Aspire AMEX Salon/Lounge est décrit comme un espace moderne et agréable, au cadre lumineux et propre, avec une ambiance calme et un personnel sympathique et efficace. La nourriture et les boissons obtiennent généralement de bons retours, avec un large choix de cocktails et des plats préparés à la demande qui restent en grande partie satisfaisants. Des points négatifs reviennent cependant régulièrement : l’absence de toilettes, une offre de nourriture limitée et des portions parfois petites, et surtout le système de commande à la carte via QR code qui oblige à commander un plat ou une boisson à la fois, ce qui peut rallonger les délais, surtout lorsque le lounge est occupé. Certains trouvent le service lent en période de pointe et regrettent l’absence de buffet, tandis que l’ambiance et le confort des sièges et des espaces demeurent appréciables et propices à la détente; le personnel est souvent cité pour son professionnalisme et son attention, et les vues sur l’aéroport ajoutent au cadre.
We loved this lounge. Amazing food. There is a limit to order one plate at a time (&/or one drink), but as soon as you're done, you can order your next meal. Their chef knows what he/she is doing. Great meals!! Relatively large selection of drinks too.
I'm not giving 5 stars because: 1.) there are lots of bar chairs & tables with regular chairs & no actual lounges where you could lay down & relax. 2.) limited amount of plug-ins BUT you can ask for a portable charger if you need to charge you phone.
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.
They have a very bad food/drink ordering system that misses the orders & we keep waiting for a long time without knowing what is going on. I spent 1.5 h & only got one small dish. All my other orders were missed. Food is not good either.

Bartender was very friendly & accomodating to my cocktail requests. The digital menu you order your drinks off of is limited, but if you ask him in person he's welcome to any manner of customization you'd like
I ordered a custom Negroni (whisky instead of gin, dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth), highly recommend
OK. This may be a contentious opinion given the recent reviews, but here goes.
The lounge is busy. Very busy. They are not only accommodating their own guests, but those from the AC lounge across the hall. Secondly, they are taking the overflow from the underwhelming AC Cafe that serves pre-packaged food & a limited offering of beer & wine (no spirits.)
So yes, there is a wait. If you can't get in quick enough for your liking, pay more for the premium AmEx, or fly more for higher status.
The lounge is well appointed, quiet, & clean. The staff are wonderful. The manager floating around the lounge accomplished dozens of small tasks & constantly checked in with guests to ensure they were comfortable. Kudos to her, I wish I got her name so I could publicly acknowledge her.
There are no restrooms; however, if you are comparing that against the AC cafe it's the same (no washroom,) & the Maple Leaf lounge restroom was usually so crowded / in such poor condition I would exit the lounge to use one of the terminal facilities anyway.
The food is fine. The dinner selections & breakfast options have a variety of plates for varied tastes. There are scads of drink options, including signature cocktails from local bars.
I suspect the majority of the complaints directed at this facility are coming from people that couldn't get in, had to wait to get in, or expected to be higher priority than the thousands of other travelers that have'status' flooding through here everyday.
It's great. The Google rating implies some of the clientele aren't.
Update Winter 2025:
Still busy, still great :)

After trying this lounge & reviewing it as a Visa-Dragon Pass user, I can say that it is not worth the time you spend waiting to get in. The food quality is average at best, & in some cases poor. You must order everything through your phone, one dish or drink at a time, & each order takes around 10 to 15 minutes to arrive.
To even have the option of using the lounge, you need to join the waiting list at least 5 hours in advance, & they will only allow entry 3 hours before your flight. In my case, I arrived 5 hours early & was called only 2.5 hours before my flight. I don't think someone arriving just 3 hours before departure would have any chance of getting in.
Overall, I no longer think this lounge service is worth it.
