Restaurant & Café Herzogliche Dampfwäscherei

Been here with of my friends i haven't seen for ages and wasn't aware of this restaurant. Food is great. Good portion sizes and local cuisine. Good wine list. Prices are at the top end still cheap for Australian standards of this type of...restaurant but you get good service and thus justified. Great ambiente with an outdoor dining area. Recommended for special occasions

We had a fantastic lunch in this place. Very spacious with modern decor. There is also a terrace and free parking. Food is German cuisine, they use seasonal foods and all was cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly too

What to say about this place? We just went there for Friday dinner to celebrate the start of our holidays. It is situated in a historic building near Schwerin Castle in the centre of town. There is ample space to sit outside, but at this...time of year, it still tends to get chilly at night, so we preferred to sit inside. At the entrance there is a little wine shop and the interior tries to be modern with very high ceilings. As it is asparagus season in Germany, we went for the asparagus soup for starters. Unfortunately, there was bacon in the soup, which was not mentioned on the menu. That meant my vegetarian girlfriend could not eat it. I tasted the bacon and it was so heavily cured, it was unedible. Shame. Such a real shame. The waiter, who took away our dishes neither offered an apology nor made any attempts to rectify the mistake. The main was white asparagus with new potatoes and melted butter; a Schnitzel on top for me. The totally curdled 'Hollandaise sauce managed to completely ruin our culinary experience in Schwerin and left us utterly underwhelmed and unimpressed. On top of that, the food was drowned in dried edible blueish little flowers. Needless to say they could NOT reverse the damage previously done to the food in the kitchen. When we asked for the bill, the waiter had not deducted anything of the bill, so embarrassingly, I had to ask him to take off the soup. He sounded surprised, as if we had not previously told him what was wrong with the soup in the first place and replied: why, the soup was good.... I was lost for words for a change this does not occur very often. In the end the grotty service and the rotten food lets this place irreparably down and that waiter deservedly did not get any tip from us. Serves him right, eh? Can one be any more disinterested in their own guest's wellbeing and satisfaction? Even so, how about the restaurant's reputation? Evidently, they still have lots to learn... I have been to many places in and around Schwerin now and regretfully one has to testify this is the culinary Nirvana of Germany with little or nothing happening that could excite a gournet's palate

German restaurants are still catching up with the rest of Europe. This place is doing well. We had the three course set meal which included a good coconut soup with a scallop and very good lamb. Service a bit mixed ,soup nearly ended up in...friend's lap. Good wine list

We had a dinner at this restaurant and enjoyed the lovely terrace. We first had turbot, which was delicious. The second course was lamb rack with chanterelles. When the portion came to the table, I got lamb file instead of rack and no chanterelles. When...I complained, I got chanterelles, and then afterwards also the lamb rack. This service fault was very unfortunate as the lamb rack and chanterelles were really delicious
