Overview
- Germany’s gastronomy VAT drops from 19% to 7% on January 1, prompting time-limited consumer offers in Dresden and Radebeul.
- At Radebeul’s Lößnitztalschänke, children up to age 7 eat free from the kids’ menu through at least the end of February under set conditions.
- The free-meals offer applies for a maximum of two adults and three children on Wednesdays to Fridays from 11:00 and on Sundays from 17:00.
- Striesen’s Stresa provides a 10% discount on the total bill on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 17:00, and the Parkhotel’s Hirschsalon offers a 25% happy-hour discount Wednesday to Friday from 14:00 to 16:00 with expanded non-alcoholic choices during Dry January.
- Josefine Persing-Böhme says the relief cannot be passed on one-to-one but should widen access to restaurant visits, and Sebastian Böhme says an extension of the deals is conceivable.
