"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. The Kameel interior is justly famous as well, with a wood-paneled art nouveau dining room that (of course) postdates the era when Beethoven frequented the restaurant. The area around its Bognergasse location is now a stone-paved pedestrian zone with luxury shops, which makes the Kameel’s front terrace a delightful place to stop for a drink or meal."

"Owner Peter Friese has headed this Viennese institution since 1977 but Kameel (as it’s affectionately known) has been around for almost four centuries. Kameel remains “one of the most egalitarian places in Vienna”, says Friese. “Here a president can sit next to a labourer.” The restaurant had a makeover in 1901 and today is a wonderful example of art nouveau décor, with its tiled walls, hanging half-moon lamps and wood panelling."

I loved the breakfast experience here. The open sandwiches were tasty. The service was kind. The setting was nice, even the bathroom was beautiful.

Our reservation was actually at another touristic restaurant, but upon a local’s recommendation, we went to Zum Schwarzen Kameel without a reservation. The meat schnitzel and the marinated potato salad they served were delicious. We were in a hurry so we couldn’t have dessert, but they looked very nice. The staff’s smiles, attention, and the delicious food were all very nice, beside it the ambiance of the place is also nice. If we ever go to Vienna again, we come to this restaurant again. Thank you.

Beautiful spot in the middle of the city centre of Vienna, with beautiful atmosphere, authentic, traditional, great food with top quality, specially the small breads collection and the sweets, love to go always there, to have nice drink and small bites! I recommend highly for locals and tourists:

PRO'S: The Black Camel Coffee House and Restaurant is an old an excellent dining experience. Our lunch was "touristy expensive" and very relaxed goulash with a salad. CON'S: You must walk there in the city center. Too difficult WC for handicapped. SUMMARY: The Black Camel is a classic restaurant and Coffee House which we enjoyed

Very fun place but I had a really hard time finding food I could eat. We liked it but it's not our kind of place due to my food allergies.

This restaurant gets a lot of attention because of its wonderful location right across Prada. The food is pretty mediocre and the wait can be very long when it’s crowded. Prices are generally high but that’s what you expect from the city downtown center.

Great place for a catch up with a friend or for a simple breakfast date. I love that it is a no fuss service with a great interior design and a good selection of teas. Always love coming here, one of my most favourite cafe places in whole Vienna.
