La Bouche et El Pato Bistro
La Bouche et El Pato
A French-Mediterranean bistro near Schwerin Cathedral, listed in the Michelin Guide and ranked No. 1 in Schwerin on Yelp, famous for its Burgundy-style beef braised in red wine.
Located on the pedestrian lane Buschstraße near Schwerin Cathedral, La Bouche is on the ground floor and El Pato is upstairs. Both floors serve the same international Mediterranean menu in a warm atmosphere, and the terrace on the pedestrian lane is popular in summer. The signature dish is Burgundy-style beef braised in red wine, made with Charolais beef from France. Other options include à la carte dishes and two set menus, one of which is a tapas-style sampler meant for sharing. The bistro is listed in the Michelin Guide (€€) and receives high ratings on TripAdvisor and Yelp. Weekend dinners often sell out, so phone reservations are recommended. About a 2-minute walk from the Markt square.
