| - I flew out to Las Vegas on Canada Day back in 2015, in the evening. I had plenty of time to grab a bite to each before boarding my flight and decided to dine at Apropos.
I recall the first time I had ever seen ordering food on iPads. It wasn't at Pearson International Airport. It was actually at Charlotte International Airport. Several months later, Pearson had caught on.
Apropos is in Terminal 1. I plopped myself down at a seat and ordered through the iPad. I got fish tacos and hummus with pita. I also ordered a Diet Coke to wash everything down.
The fish tacos have soft shells. You get three of them. They were delicious. The spicy avocado worked well with the lime cream and pico de gallo.
I also loved the hummus. The grilled pita wedges were both tender and crispy. Perfect!
Naturally, when dining at the airport, you pay a lot more. I remember the price, which was pushing $30 for two small plates of food and a beverage, including tax and tip. I didn't mind it, though. The quality and taste were good. I also don't dine at the airport too often and I was hungry.
My beef was trying to pay for my meal. You are supposed to be able to do it on the iPad. It didn't work on mine. Instead, I had to flag my server to try and sort it out. You'd think that he would have a debit-credit machine. Nope, I had to move to a different iPad that he had selected that wasn't close. Yes, I had to haul all my belongings (rolling computer bag, my sweater, and me) several feet away. It was an inconvenience to me.
I can also see this problem being a huge one if you are a larger party. How can you make sure that your personal belongings are safe when you are practically going to a different gate to pay for your meal?
I am hoping that this issue has been fixed. I have a feeling that it's still the case, though.
