Zum Schwarzen Kameel

Zum Schwarzen Kameel’s unusual moniker, which means At the Black Camel, grabs your attention. It’s a play on the name of founder Johan Baptist Cameel, who opened the establishment back in 1618. Appointed a spice purveyor to the Hapsburg court in 1825, Zum Schwarzen Kameel is today a restaurant, with a separate delicatessen that makes good sandwiches and a gourmet shop selling fine cheeses and wines.

Zum Schwarzen Kameel restaurant, in Vienna’s historic city centre, has been running for hundreds of years. In 1618, Johan Baptist Cameel acquired the building to sell varieties of spice and gave it its current name, translated means ‘to the black camel’. Since then, guests such as Ludwig van Beethoven have graced its doors, and the building has been rebuilt in Art Nouveau style.

Back when Beethoven dined at the Black Camel, it was already a foodie landmark. Since then, it has been renovated (but only in 1901) and more recently split into a delikatessen and a restaurant. Try the former if you're in a hurry—fresh sandwiches are served at the counter.

Zum Schwarzen Kameel, which goes back to 1618, is a legendary restaurant within Vienna's upscale shopping district. This lively establishment has both fans and detractors and is best-known for the crowd it attracts: posh, showy, a bit vulgar, but altogether adorable middle-aged Viennese. Picture chic fifty-somethings enviably enjoying themselves with a chilled bottle of champagne on the restaurant's enormous terrace, which serves as a theatrical see-and-be-seen stage throughout the whole year (heated in the winter).

Probably the most sophisticated of local sandwich bars is the traditional deli Zum Schwarzen Kameel, that also ranks among the best restaurants in Vienna serving food from Austria. The Black Camel is famous for business lunches, its Wiener Schnitzel and its art déco interiors. (What few people know: The logo was designed by famous Viennese Biedermeier painter Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller.) The wood panelled bar serves classical sandwiches on white bread, and cold meat and cheese on dark sourdough bread.

This is THE spot for hungover-Sunday-morning-open-faced-finger-sandwiches, people watching of the chicest kind, and a late afternoon aperitif after strolling all day. This historic café is always a scene—you can walk-in and perch at the counter or seat yourself at an outdoor table. Then choose whichever brightly colored tartine you’d like (curried egg salad, ham with freshly shaved horseradish) and order a glass of bracing Sekt (sparkling wine) or riesling.
