Raoul's

Editorial Review

OG Soho bistro keeps charming in dilapidated digs even as glitzier spots fall by the wayside. Classic for perfect steak au poivre, excellent risotto with scallops, and steamed artichokes munched by new faces models and regular folk alike. Unpretentious, always on point. Check the outdoor garden or semi-hidden loft for lurking low-key celebs. Busy bar scene adds to the allure, beware daunting steps to the bathroom after half a bottle of red.
