The story

Weinbistro "George" in Schwerin – Modern Cuisine & Wine Passion | Michelin Recommended

Where Wine Passion Meets Modern Cuisine

Step inside Weinbistro "George" at Weinhaus Uhle, and the feeling of welcome is immediate. This is a place built for enjoyment – whether you come for a glass of Champagne, a favourite wine, lunch, or dinner. The bistro’s spirit is summed up in its own words: “Genuss braucht Gemütlichkeit” – pleasure needs comfort.

Under the guidance of chef Marcel Kube, the kitchen produces seasonal, produce-driven dishes that change regularly. The focus is on fresh, mostly regional ingredients, with organic produce used whenever possible. Vegetarian and vegan creations have a permanent place on the menu. The cooking is modern and unpretentious, yet accomplished – a style that has earned the bistro a Michelin Recommended distinction.

The wine list is curated with the same care. Open wines and bottles are selected with a special eye for producers from Saxony and Saale-Unstrut, alongside a fine range of international labels. The pairing of food and wine is central to the experience here.

A Setting for All Seasons

The bistro’s comfortable interior invites lingering, but on warm days the outdoor seats in front of the house become a favourite spot. There, with a glass of wine and a plate of something delicious, you can watch the city go by in relaxed surroundings.

The menu changes with the seasons, but typical dishes might include a delicate veal tartare with smoked sour cream and pickled lingonberries, or a poached pike-perch fillet from the Müritz region with brown butter sauce and parsnip purée. There is also a dedicated section of classics – a schnitzel, a fish soup, and a house-made “Uhlsche Klops” (veal dumpling) – all rooted in regional traditions but given a contemporary touch.

The Legacy of Weinhaus Uhle

Weinbistro "George" is part of the historic Weinhaus Uhle, a family-run wine business that has been a Schwerin institution since 1751. This backdrop of centuries of wine expertise adds depth to the bistro’s offering. The wine shop next door stocks over 300 hand-selected wines, and the bistro’s own list draws directly from the cellar’s passion and knowledge.

Whether you come for a quick lunch, a leisurely dinner, or simply to explore the wine list, Weinbistro "George" delivers a warm, sophisticated experience that feels both effortless and genuine.
