Thanks for the information!

Edit: The food (not the wine list!) doesn't look too bad at all, let's see how Kaefer delivers.

Just one major reservation: I have never liked the limitation "real non-breakfast food only after 11" and cannot say I am not disappointed this is still part of the new concept.

I agree, menu looks good, agree also to the limitation which is a bit at odds with the place, catering for travelers coming from/going to all those different time zones.

Also. That wine list… not great

+1 That wine list is so out-of-place in a proper First Class lounge.

a lounge in the center of Germany and not even a single decent German wine… while individual taste may differ, that Riesling is probably at the far end of most preference sheets

It’s not impressing me so far, consider myself better off in ZRH or MUC but time will tell ;)

Very true. Food looks promising, but drink list stingy. Have seen better wines at SEN lounges.

The wine list is terrible — no surprise there, it’s a pure $ point and Kafer can’t do magic when limited by LHG. Not serving main courses before 11 am is annoying (discussed in other threads). Hopefully, the quality of the food and service will be better.

I am nowhere near to be an expert in fine wines/ champagne etc. but my first impression of the wine list was that I could find a similar selection in the cellar section of my local Lidl

there was much more but I didn’t have time to properly look at it. Will do it later this week unless someone else will be earlier

I think the Markowitsch Grüner might be a good choice. His wines usually score 90+ points.

yes, but you shouldn’t have to find the ONE decent wine on a FC wine list ;)

All in the 10-15 EUR retail range, absolutely not worthy of a First Class lounge and a missed opportunity to make an actual improvement.

I appreciate the new caterers have been given a budget but this is definitely not a good first impression.

I hardly ever fly paid F but I'd definitely go for LX or AF.

We love the judgement here! Sometimes, F class is the better (read: more economic) choice over O class:

LH sold Full Fare F tickets from ARN to SYD via FRA and SIN return for 5,500 USD last year. I booked one LH F and three SQ F segments with this ticket. The prorated cost for FRA-SIN is about 1,400 USD. That's less than an award ticket for 111,000 LH miles and 400 USD in taxes.

For Lufthansa, Full Fare F (regardless how revenue management prices it) is the highest fare in the pecking order so it mattered for my FCT visit. I would think that most passenger there as well as on my flight were booked in Full Fare F.

Disappointing is the limitation to one champagne. Do&Co had four. No rose champagne anymore...

I think the FCT has now the worst champagne offering of any First Class Lounge in the world.
