Cube by Mika

Bib Gourmand€€Izakaya, Sharing

This trendy and lively spot is in the heart of Schwerin – the cathedral is very close by and the castle is also within easy walking distance. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual in this maisonette-style restaurant occupying two levels, and on the lower floor, diners can choose between high tables or counter seats with views of action in the kitchen. This place specialises in delicious izakaya cuisine – predominantly Asian dishes and finger food for sharing. On certain days, they also propose an ambitious tasting menu. Don't forget to book!

Cube by Mika offers French-Asian fusion cuisine featuring sharing-style small plates. Most reviews praise the food quality, creative combinations, and the chef's expertise, noting a warm, cultured atmosphere. Service is generally described as attentive and friendly, though some guests report inconsistent meal pacing and delays. The space is compact with large communal tables, creating a lively but potentially crowded environment lacking privacy and accessibility. While overall ratings are high, a minority find the value questionable, citing issues with dish presentation and poor restroom conditions.

Suitable for diners seeking refined fusion cuisine and social dining, with reservations recommended due to space constraints.

La Bouche et El Pato

€€International, Mediterranean Cuisine

This bistro with a pleasant, cosy atmosphere is located in the middle of the city – the cathedral is just a stone's throw away. La Bouche is on the ground floor and El Pato is on the first floor, but diners enjoy the same international and Mediterranean dishes on both levels. One speciality is beef bourguignon with French Charolais beef. In addition to à la carte dishes, there are two set menus, one of which has dishes for sharing, tapas-style. Cordial service. The terrace in the pedestrian zone is also appealing.
