These days, the recommendation is to arrive at the airport three hours in advance for a flight heading to the States. My flight was expected to depart at 2:40 pm and was delayed by half an hour. After clearing security, it was just before 1 pm and I needed lunch.
I found a small food hall at Terminal 3. I looked at my options and found Cluny Grille.
I walked up to the order area. No one was behind the counter. I looked at poutine and a couple of mini sliders next to me. They looked good.
A woman came over. I wanted to place an order. She took down my order and went to look for the cook to make it. Both she and the man who ultimately made me lunch were nice and helpful.
I got the following:
- Le burger (you get two sliders, so I don't get the singular)
- A bottle of Diet Pepsi
I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was set. I got a number. I went to find a place to sit down and wait for my order number to be called.
My Diet Pepsi was cold and hit the spot. I needed a drink and it was perfect.
I started a trend. My placing an order prompted four other people to come over and place orders, too. Weird and cool!
I heard my number. I went to the counter to pick up my food. I thanked the woman. I decided to grab packets of ketchup and mayo, along with napkins, and sat down to eat.
The le burger comes with slender fries. The fries were yummy. I ended up dipping them in both the mayo and ketchup (completely out of character, but this entire trip was also completely different, so it was fitting). Delicious! The fries were light and crispy, without the grease.
You get two sliders with fancy toothpicks to hold everything together. Each slider had beef, brie, mushrooms, and caramelized onions. I absolutely loved each slider. It had everything that I love. The beef was juicy and cooked perfectly. The brie was generous and paired nicely with the caramelized onions and mushrooms. So good! The mini bun was lightly toasted and was the perfect side to grab with at least one hand.
The Diet Pepsi washed all my food down. Even with a tip, my meal with drink was well under $20. It was pretty good for dining at an airport. My food felt so fancy for fast food.
I tend to have a go-to place to have a meal at any airport terminal. At Terminal 3, I'd return here for more good eats.
