I like Das Campus. In fact I like it a lot ... a whole lot! Since a fun evening spent there at a party over a year ago before they officially opened to a recent enjoyable experience a couple of nights ago, this place just transmits good vibes. That I haven't reviewed this pub and eatery before has just always been a shortage of time because I'm usually hosting out-of-town guests when I'm dining at Das Campus.
When I go to Das Campus with friends, we all order the same thing - Flammkuchen. (In Alsatian - Flammekueche ... in French Tarte Flambée.) Why? Because it's the best Flammkuchen I've ever eaten outside Strasbourg and Alsace. One of the chefs surely had to train in Alsace to know how to prepare Flammkuchen with such care. The crème fraiche and caramelized onions and bacon strips are baked in the oven to perfection. (Hey, who needs pizza anyway?) And even if there is not the cool system of reordering that is a fun part of countryside Alsatian Flammekueche restaurants, I still very much appreciate the authenticity of this Tarte Flambée. Now in addition to all this - Das Campus has Vienna's largest flavored beer selection. You mix it yourself. I especially love the maracuja beer.
The atmosphere is laid back, the architecture interesting (the men's toilets are really cool - maybe the ladies toilets are too but I've never been in them!) As long as Das Campus exists in Vienna and in so far as they continue to serve up genuine Flammkuchen, I'll be back!! read more
