Zum Schwarzen Kameel is an exclusive restaurant, bar, and patisserie all in one. The restaurant offers Viennese and international cuisine and more than 800 wines from national and international estates. Guests will find quintessential Austrian dishes, from the mains of schnitzel down to desserts of apfelstrudel. There is also the possibility just to have a drink at the bar, which is a great place to meet, day or night. This restaurant also produces its own food products, including marmalade, chocolate, oils and pasta, which are for sale in the neighbouring shop.
Here, you’ll find classic dishes served by Viennese waiters, dressed in their traditional black and white attire. This restaurant cites 1905 as ‘the year the schnitzel was born’ when Johann Figlmüller set up his restaurant just streets away from St Stephen’s Cathedral. Pork cuts are used for the schnitzel at Figlmüller, pounded to tender perfection, then coated with ‘imperial breadcrumbs’ from kaiser rolls, giving the schnitzel its characteristic crunchy outer layer. Potato salad is usually served alongside – or you can choose from over 12 different salads. Not one for modest diners, the schnitzel here spills over the plate.
