Not sure if this was posted before but the Austrian business lounge (Schengen) in VIE has reopened and it’s pretty impressive!
When I checked my bags they told me they had a new catering company which surprises me..so I guess it’s no longer do&co
there are quite a few offerings, good wines and drinks area, there’s a fruit stand area, a soup, dessert (strudel) and sandwich area with good choices such as vegetarian or pork options and good quality.
there’s also a nicer area where one of the workers dishes you up some of the traditional dishes

The new caterer is DoN.

The service level in all FRA lounges is identical. Two weekends ago I had to spend 7h in T2, and left the PP after 45 min. Every seat was taken, people were blatantly ignoring the mask wearing and congregating as if it was a bar on a Saturday night. It had all the hallmarks of a super spreader event. So be aware that your english English breakfast comes with a side of risk.
I travelled from XER to FRA on LH bus. At least 30% of passengers only covered their mouth and another 20% of passengers only covered their chins. Luckily I was at least 2 meters away from them.

so far not the case. Probably not worth keeping it open since the time difference between the FRA and ZRH flights is too great with no MUC flight in-between. Would assume LX set up an arrangement with another lounge that is staying open later. Please report back!
Also, no LH flight on Fridays at all, so there is that problem with LX flying Fr/Su only

According to the Staff from SEN Lounge at A gates in FRA this evening, the lounges will remain open, but no food and drinks and booze...

The FRA lounges are classified as restaurants so in order to stay open they have to ditch the food offering starting next Monday. They are looking into handing out to go bags for you to consume outside the lounge.

No food and beverage in the FRA lounges is a huge disappointment, with the frequency downgrades all my upcoming fights have long connections ......

Not really. The measures announced for November include closing of all restaurants, which will impact lounge operations.

What’s the situation with lounges in Brussels and Zurich? Do they have alcohol and food? I wonder if they’ll be affected by the November restrictions too?

The situation is as silly as in Poland then. Polonez closed, airport WAW lounge open and allows outside F&B, KRK open but no outside F&B (including water) and yet Katowice, Gdańsk and Wroclaw all operate as usual with full F&B.
