This is how a restaurant owner described the current situation in the Horesca sector to RTL.
RTL talked with several owners of restaurants and cafés in Luxembourg City, and most of them agreed with this assessment.
While most were happy that they could keep working, the recently imposed curfew and the new regulation limiting the number of guests at each table to four are widely seen as another setback.
Those restaurant owners who had been able to provide service on their terraces over the summer explained that they had been able to generate some income, but the situation had become significantly worse due to the colder temperatures and the second wave of infections.
Several owners reported that restaurants were noticeably emptier and that they only made a third of their usual revenue.
While the Horesca sector welcomed the fact that the government had so far decided against imposing a second, complete lockdown, it calls for a return to a closing time at midnight and a maximum number of ten people per table.
