La Bouche et El Pato in Schwerin

Unfortunately the food is no longer as tasty as it used to be. The service staff was nice, but seemed quite overwhelmed. The prices quoted are therefore no longer in proportion to the performance.

Highly recommended. Probably the best restaurant in Schwerin. Great host, great food. Always happy..

Top quality and a friendly, personal feel-good atmosphere - we'll be happy to come back! ... and two years later I'm still thrilled again and again. Quality, service, atmosphere... everything was great!

We had the menu for 59 euros per person and expected something better.

Thank you for the humorous and enjoyable Saturday evening. Service, food = great!

Very nice and cozy restaurant. Very good menu and the dishes are really tasty. Very good service with good empathy for his guests. Clean toilets

We were in the restaurant for the first time. The beautiful ambience is not noticeable from the outside and made the dinner more beautiful. The dishes really met our taste. We'll definitely come back.

A piece of France 🇫🇷 in Schwerin. Charming service and exquisite food. Top 👍

It was a good idea to visit Schwerin here. Good food with good wine recommendations were the basis for wonderful hours. Recommended...

The food was super tasty. I would have preferred to give the service 6 stars.

Friendly service and absolutely brilliant food.

Good food, very good service, prices a bit too high.

Good solid food, very good wine selection and nice ambience. However, we deducted a point because the food did not completely meet our expectations. We had read the many positive recommendations on the Internet and thought that we would find very good cuisine here. The food tasted good but it wasn't what we expected.

So fantastic. The Valentine's menu was so incredibly delicious. The ambience was appropriately adjusted with rose petals. The service was great. We'll definitely be back!

In my opinion the best restaurant in the city. Great class - absolutely recommended!

First-class cuisine, excellent wines and spirits, cozy atmosphere... 🫶

We had already decided on the 3-course menu in advance and stated this in our reservation. Unfortunately, a companion is pregnant and we only have limited options. Our first impression of La Bouche was good. Inviting and stylishly furnished, pleasant thematically appropriate music that plays unobtrusively in the background, as well as original decoration. Toilet units were also modern & clean. We were greeted by three people: Front of House, a service person who accompanied us to the 1st floor & a friendly waitress who assigned us to our table. Its location was half in the room, half behind the wardrobe wall - not ideal for a cozy evening, but acceptable. Getting the maximum capacity out of a room makes sense & if everything else fits, such a placement is quickly forgotten. Unfortunately, this was just the first of a whole series of faux-pas that marred our evening and forced us to leave after the main course. Service: 2 stars It is really to La Bouche's credit that career changers and non-native speakers are also given opportunities. As a guest you can sometimes overlook one or two extra requests. In this sense, we would describe our service as always trying hard. What was extremely unpleasant, however, was that the food was consistently served from the left past the guest's face, even though there was more than enough space on the right. Especially during! of the food that is simply inappropriate. Unfortunately, we only managed to get over our starters with our drinks after asking. Our second drinks came at the end of the main course (after 70 minutes). The empty glasses from the starters remained on the neighboring table until the end. Unfortunately, we didn't receive adequate support when we had problems with a main course, only a quiet "I'm sorry". Not okay at around 30 euros per course. Food: 3 stars The first setback: When we looked at the menu, we found to our regret that the 3-course menu, as published on the website at lunchtime, was unfortunately only available in a modified and slightly "stripped down" version - the previously selected dishes for our pregnant companion were unfortunately missing. Nevertheless, after repeated inquiries, we found what we were looking for and decided to start with the karaage & the roast beef (particularly noteworthy). There was no amuse gueule or bread basket in advance. The non-alcoholic starters were okay, but nothing special. For the main courses, we chose beef bourguignon and pasta wild mushroom truffle cream with baked corn-fed chicken. The former were outstanding! Butter gently simmered in a strong, spicy sauce with perfectly cooked side dishes. The forest mushroom truffle cream pasta, on the other hand, was an absolute failure. Except for the chicken, everything was served lukewarm. The pasta was far too thick to be eaten with a fork (even with the help of a spoon); The chicken was undercooked (we had mentioned when ordering that the pregnant woman would receive this dish) and gave the impression of being undercooked and completely tasteless. The low point, however, was the sauce. After tons of salt & pepper you could sense a distant taste of mushrooms - truffles or even parmesan out of place. The whole thing seems more like a failed roux than a creamy porcini mushroom sauce with truffle cream. As mentioned above, we tried to speak to the waitresses twice, but unfortunately we received no support. I find it distasteful to open a 'big barrel' in such cases, also because I expect a service from a restaurant of this class that makes such behavior unnecessary. And so unfortunately half of the dish went back. In this 'mood' I found the request for dessert very inappropriate, as was the omission of a farewell after paying. We paid 116 euros for two people.

Very friendly staff. The food is very good and plentiful. Price performance is right. Gladly again at any time.

Unfortunately this time it was a bit disappointing. The service was hardly tangible. There was no wine service as usual. At least not for our table. We weren't asked for new drinks even though we had only had empty glasses for at least half an hour. The time between menu sequences was too long. We waited three quarters of an hour or 1 hour for dessert. Suggestions regarding the food were accepted (e.g. Coque au vin: the wings were too raw and the breast was too dry), but unfortunately nothing came of it even though the food was only half eaten. Overall, the price for the menu seemed a bit too expensive to us. It's a shame, because we've always been very satisfied.

We once again felt very comfortable. The food was very tasty and the service was very attentive. We like the atmosphere anyway.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I weren't thrilled with the restaurant. Although it is so hyped and gives hope for high standards, it was very sobering and middle class. The male waiter seemed bored and in a bad mood... he didn't even look at us when we collected the money, apparently the tip was too low for him. The food we ordered was very mediocre in taste and my friend's fish dinner was by far the meager portion of all the other dishes served. My meal contains truffles, which unfortunately I didn't taste or find any. The prices are definitely not appropriate for this restaurant! Conclusion: I've been a lot and I'm sorry for mediocrity... it's a shame

We came here for dinner based on Google reviews and were not disappointed. The friendly staff held the door open for us at the entrance; it is these details that help you feel welcome as a guest. The menu is small but fine, French cuisine, interpreted in a modern way. For starters we shared the antipasti platter (with grilled vegetables, ham, homemade sourdough bread) and a glass of fruity, light crémant. For the main course we had cod (the lentil sauce was amazing!) and boudin noir (blood sausage), accompanied by a glass of (excellent) house wine. To finish off the meal with crème bruléê and homemade ice cream with an espresso. So much for the taste buds. We also found the friendly and unobtrusive service to be extremely pleasant, always there when needed. The accompanying drinks were served with the food, and there was adequate "recovery time" between courses, so you never had the feeling of being "dumped" as quickly as possible. We sat in the upper area of ​​the restaurant, which was very inviting and comfortably furnished, with subtle music underlining the beautiful atmosphere. Conclusion: A pearl of culinary art and hospitality.

Perfect evening!! Food, service and ambience - for us - 10/10 points 😀 - highly recommended

We were very satisfied again. The food is very tasty and the service is very nice

Food was not hot and rather tasteless

Tolles Menü und die Gerichte sind ganz stimmig und toll zusammen gestellt, Ambiente top. Nur die Bedienung könnte etwas freundlicher sein und der deutschen Sprache mächtig.

Very pleasant atmosphere, everything went great. Gladly again :).

Very good cuisine. It tasted excellent.

The food, drinks and service were great. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The rating at La Bouche was extremely difficult. In the context of google.maps, definitely 5 out of 5 and definitely a solid, good restaurant that you can recommend to everyone without hesitation! However, there is room for improvement if it is viewed in the context of "fine dining", whereby the target group will be somewhere between "fine dining" and "good bourgeois". Small criticism: The plates were warmed, which is definitely a positive, but some dishes were only served lukewarm (which, especially for slow eaters, means that the last bites are eaten cold). The bread was also a bit too dark in one place or another. In terms of taste, everything else was very good (in context), and the craft of cooking was also implemented very well overall (kudos to the kitchen). The service was very friendly and the customers' wishes were taken into account. There is a good selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. A "wine accompaniment" to match the menu would have been desirable, but you can get along easily without it. Considered in context, the prices are very well chosen. For anyone who wants to get a foot in the door in the “fine dining” sector but is unsure whether it is the right hobby, La Bouche is a great place to get your first experiences. But you can also have a casual meal here for one or two special evenings. All in all a good restaurant that I can highly recommend!

An all-round great evening: the service was very accommodating, the wine recommendation was a hit. In addition to classics (e.g. steak frites), the menu always offers something interesting (mountain lentil and Muscovy duck as a starter). The main course, deer from the Schwinzer Heide/M-V, was excellent. The conversations with the service were very warm. The dessert was great - including French mousse au chocolate. Chocolate - a delicious ending. Thank you for this evening.

Hier ist man als spontaner Gast nicht willkommen. Fragt man nach einem Tisch oder ob sich das Warten lohnt, erhält man keine befriedigende Antwort. Da entdeckt inmitten der Kommunikation der Service einen Bekannten und vergisst den potenziellen Gast und rennt davon. Das ist unfreundlich und unprofessionell ! Bitte den Service schulen.

Delicious food, good wine in a stylish ambience, with good service; gladly again!

It was a delicious start to New Year's Eve. Not a big menu but just right, something for everyone. It was a taste experience at its finest. As always, I'll be happy to come back and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming wine tastings. Team & Service 💯

Nice little restaurant with flair, maybe a bit too narrow. We had a wonderful evening with very tasty food and delicious wine. When asked, the waitress explained the dishes well and answered individual questions. The service was above average! We'd love to come back 👍!

Went last night for my daughter's birthday. My wife and I had the menu and my daughter and her friend had the rump steak with fries. We were more than thrilled. We also tried Donald's recommended red wine from the 3 liter bottle and rounded off the meal.

In addition to the great ambience and excellent service, the culinary highlights on 🍽️ and next to🍹 the plate ensure a recurring delight

Very tasty food, with pleasant service. We'll definitely come back.

Good restaurant, very tasty food, attractive atmosphere Service friendly, perhaps a minimal comment the first drinks are actually poured

We had a company Christmas party. We had good seats, perfect service, very good food and stayed for a long time. Thanks!

The two of us were there for dinner and had a very nice evening. From the starter to the dessert the food was great. A small downside is that, in my opinion, the main course could have been seasoned a little more strongly. At this point, however, this is criticism at a high level. Ultimately, we can only recommend this restaurant. If you want to eat well in Schwerin, you can't miss La Bouche et El Pato. But one thing is important: don't forget to make a reservation. 😉

The food tasted good, but unfortunately it was loud and the service was a bit slow and inattentive.

What a great restaurant! We felt very comfortable. The atmosphere is very stylish, the staff is very friendly and always present without being intrusive. The food was excellent in all courses. You can taste the excellent quality of the ingredients. We were very positively surprised and will definitely come back! You felt really welcome as a guest, something we haven't been able to say in one or two restaurants in Schwerin recently. Huge praise from us!!!

Very good food, staff was very attentive, accommodating! I can only recommend it!

We were guests for a birthday dinner with the whole family and were thrilled with the host and his staff 🤩 THANK YOU

We enjoyed our dinner in this restaurant. The welcome was very friendly. When choosing a place, our wishes were taken into account. The food came without too long of a wait and was really very good. The price/performance ratio is also appropriate. The atmosphere and the friendly farewell contributed to a successful evening. The only downside was or is the experience with the lack of staff in the catering industry. A service worker had to call a colleague several times because the language barrier was too great. But I didn't rate this as a negative thing and would be happy to come back.

Great service and great food. We felt comfortable.

First of all, I would have liked to give it a full 5 stars! I was very happy with the food. I had the fall menu with duck, a very nice combination of Japanese and French flavors. An easy-drinking open Riesling and a pleasant open Merlot accompanied the menu. Unfortunately, it was hardly possible to communicate with one of the friendly service staff due to a lack of language skills. With such a great meal and the standards of the restaurant, I would have liked cloth napkins. My friendly remark to the other service person was commented on with a derogatory "Pfff" - a shame...

The ox cheeks were very good. Unfortunately, the burger didn't really impress me. The patty was fried nice and pink, but quite dry. Unfortunately, the fries that came with it were too soaked in fat. I would like to see more vegetarian options, including for the starters, that don't necessarily contain bread. For example, the delicious mushroom ravioli as a single component would be great.

As always when we are in this restaurant excellent cuisine and comprehensive service! Thanks!

Nice atmosphere and, as usual, very tasty food. Service friendly... Nice evening

Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, dieses kleine, aber äußerst charmante französische Restaurant zu besuchen, und es hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Küche ist einfach exzellent – jedes Gericht war ein Genuss für die Sinne. Kein Wunder also, dass das Restaurant stets gut besucht ist. Eine Reservierung im Voraus ist daher absolut empfehlenswert, um sicherzugehen, dass man auch einen Platz bekommt. Die Bedienung war freundlich, aufmerksam und so herzlich, wie man es heutzutage selten erlebt. Ein großes Kompliment an das gesamte Team, das es geschafft hat, uns von Anfang bis Ende perfekt zu umsorgen. Besonders der Inhaber, Donald, hat einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen – mit seiner warmherzigen und persönlichen Art schafft er eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Ein Highlight, das wir so noch nicht kannten, ist die Möglichkeit, erstklassige Weine aus 5-Liter-Flaschen in einer 0,5-Liter-Karaffe zu bestellen. So konnten wir hervorragende französische Weine genießen, ohne gleich eine ganze Flasche kaufen zu müssen. Eine wirklich kundenfreundliche Idee, die uns sehr beeindruckt hat! Zum Abschluss möchten wir noch den besonderen Rum erwähnen, der nicht nur serviert, sondern auch zum Kauf angeboten wird – perfekt für alle, die ein besonderes Mitbringsel suchen oder sich selbst etwas gönnen möchten. Leider war unser Besuch in Schwerin nur kurz, aber falls wir jemals wieder in die Gegend kommen, steht dieses Restaurant ganz oben auf unserer Liste. Ein wahrer Geheimtipp für alle, die authentische französische Küche und eine gastfreundliche Atmosphäre schätzen!

8 of us spent a very nice evening in the bistro. Food was great, especially the venison and porcini mushroom ravioli, but the sharing platter was also a great idea. We were also allowed to stay as long as we wanted! The only point of improvement from our point of view would be the service. We could have asked more whether we would like something more to drink or whether it was tasty.

Very nice atmosphere in the bistro plus a selected menu, very good house wine and excellent cuisine

The food is fantastic! We will definitely come again.

Very good food of excellent quality. Highly recommended.

We were very satisfied! Waiters very friendly, food great, wine delicious and well chilled, nice ambience! Always happy

Another fantastic evening at El Pato. We enjoyed a great menu and were royally entertained. Gladly again.

Delicious food, full, super friendly and attentive team. Highly recommended from my side.

As always perfect. The whole family was thrilled.

Great evening, with great food, among friends. It was nice. We would love to come back!

This year the two of us stayed at La Bouche. The service was quick as usual. Unfortunately they no longer had “Butchers Cut” on offer, which is why I actually came back. The substitute smell "roast beef strips on tagliatelle with truffle sauce" was not to my taste at all. Why did this delicious sauce with truffle have to be messed up? Without those stinky mushrooms it would have been a great dish. Well, whoever likes it... As a digestif, I ordered the rum drink that you make yourself and took a bottle with me. I can recommend the extremely tender “Boeuf Bourguignon”. Unfortunately there is no longer the fantastically good “Butchers Cut”🥲 that has been taken off the menu 🤷‍♂️.

We ate here yesterday, it was just a dream and if I could have, I would have given it 10 stars. We had the autumn menu as well as the mountain lentil soup, salad with goat cheese and the mousse au chocolat... the taste experience of herbs and fresh Ingredients was simply a delight, we only noticed the Michelin awards 6 years in a row at the end of our visit, but they are absolutely justified! We will definitely come back on our next visit

Amazing lunch sitting outside, amazing food and great service

It was a lovely evening with great food and very accommodating staff. Gladly again

Thanks for the lovely evening! The food (we tried the "tapas menu" for 2) is a cool idea and was delicious. The service team is relaxed, attentive & friendly - just as you would expect :) Absolute recommendation

Terrific! We haven't had such a first-class meal in a casual and friendly atmosphere for a long time. French-inspired and refreshingly different food combinations, beautifully prepared, so that it was a joy and pleasure for the eyes and the palate. Clearly our gastronomic highlight in Schwerin.

Great host, great location, delicious food! We'd love to come back.

We can only describe our culinary experience from last night in one word: perfect, it couldn't be better! From the starter to the dessert, everything was delicious! The waitress was very attentive and gave us very good advice about the wine… We will certainly come back.

Great food, friendly service... It was great with you...gladly again!!!

I had the fresh pasta with porcini mushroom truffle sauce and it was tasteless and annoying - a roux with porcini mushroom flavor and there was little taste of truffles. The appetizer platter wasn't good either. We didn't like the cold grilled vegetables. Two slices of mortadella and Bayonne ham couldn't save the starter either. I can only praise the service very much. Rarely have we experienced such attentive service.

We were there for the first time and reserved 2 places in advance. Unfortunately we only had the choice of sitting outside in the middle of the street or sharing a table outside with 2 other people. We would have liked a little more privacy. 🫤 Our table also wobbled a lot, which made eating a little difficult. However, the food was excellent.😍 We both had the menu and were delighted with the culinary delights. The service was very nice. We'll be back, but we're hoping for much better places.

As always, great and familiar. And excellent food too...!!

Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Die Bedienung sehr freundlich. In Summe das leckerste Essen während der Woche Schwerin.

Great, small, fine restaurant with super attentive and fast service staff. Quality is great, price is reasonable. Thank you.

A special experience where you get delicious food and service at a reasonable price. Can definitely be recommended.

Everything was great without exception! We ate very well and the house wine is highly recommended! Happy to come back!

Super delicious food and great hosts. We felt completely comfortable...even if there was no Kölsch 😉 Oh, and we can only recommend the Gin & Rum. We brought a bottle home with us straight away. We'll definitely come back again.

Had Mediterranean food last night. Super delicious. I would love to come back. We also park our bikes properly😉

A very great restaurant with a great ambience, the staff was very accommodating, the food was very, very good. We definitely recommend going back there on our next vacation.

Was incredibly surprised by the food, great taste variations with attention to detail. The quality is also excellent. It's right in the middle of the city center, so if you like a lively atmosphere, you can sit outside.

Friendly, tasty, high quality 👍

Authentic. Adorable. Courteous. Communicative. This is how gastronomy should be.

Very tasty Vakyu and pike Well sated dessert with a scoop of ice cream

Just great. Great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. If we come back to Schwerin we will come back.

The food was great, a pleasure, the service was very friendly and competent. The wine met our taste exactly. We'll definitely come back.

Very friendly staff, great service and not to forget excellent food. We will be back.

We recently dined at this restaurant and had mixed experiences. Unfortunately, the waiter was rude when ordering the drinks, which dampened the mood at the beginning of the evening. The food itself was mostly good, although the Wagyu steak we ordered was unfortunately under-salted, which affected the taste somewhat. The mousse au chocolat was tasty, but didn't quite live up to our expectations. Overall, a mixed experience that unfortunately wasn't completely convincing due to the poor service and small weaknesses in the kitchen.

Nice restaurant with French flair. We liked it very much. We sat outside due to the nice weather and decided on the menu. The food was excellent, the pictures speak for themselves.

Absolutely delicious food and courteous service. We had a lovely few hours and we would love to come back 😋🍇🍗🍔🍨

We've been there several times. Always delicious and very nice!👍🏼

Delicious delicious delicious😋 Great service, incredibly tasty & high quality food, we felt very comfortable. 100% recommendation⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was outstanding! Always my pleasure. (Even if there were communication problems) LG from Bavaria.

What can I say, a spectacular dinner. We are welcomed with extreme kindness, everyone in the service is friendly and helpful. We immediately felt at home. The environment is very nice, the decorations carefully chosen, the background music very pleasant (volume among other things is ideal, it allows you to have your own privacy and talk calmly). There isn't much to say about the dishes other than: a perfect mix of flavors and combinations. We took the 4-course menu. Balance, innovation and freshness. I particularly appreciate the flexibility of the team and the kitchen in modifying a couple of dishes since I was pregnant. For the first time in a very long time, I experienced the kindness, quality and tranquility of a gastronomy that is increasingly difficult to find. I sincerely thank the entire team for a wonderful evening. See you soon!

mauvaise attitude bad attitude schlechte Einstellung Terrible attitude, very impatient from the beginning of ordering, we said we hadn't decided yet and wanted to make another choice, they just rolled their eyes at us. He kept speaking no English and refused to communicate! I showed the service staff the pictures on Google Reviews and said we wanted this, but it was completely different when we came here. When we wanted to ask, we just said we didn’t know English, rolled our eyes and walked away! Very bad attitude! Lightning protection! Lightning protection!

Everything was right here! We were there spontaneously at lunchtime and decided while we were eating that we would come back in the evening. Even though it was a Saturday and everything was “actually” fully booked, the owner still found a way to accommodate us. Really good food at reasonable prices in a friendly environment. Gladly again.

It is the best restaurant I’ve had in my entire life. I’m dying in this right moment. I’m from Colombia but swear I would literally come back every time I could. Big compliments to the staff and the chefs. Delicious!

Really the best food you will have in Germany

Very good food and extremely friendly service! So it's a great experience😊!

So geht Restaurant, perfekt von der Begrüssung bis zur Verabschiedung mit einer tollen Karte und fantastischen Speisen bei perfektem Service.
