Raouls
I grew up going to Raouls before I could legally drink. Had my first Bordeaux here in the early 90s. Also had my first frisée salad, escargot, and steak au poivre here as well. I still order the same whenever I go back. They used to have a tarot reader upstairs by the bathroom but I haven’t seen her the last couple times. The place is packed with photos and art that was traded for food. Thomas Keller used to work here! It’s a true classic. As OG as it gets!
Be the first to ReplyFood Is Well Executed And Solid.
Raouls in the Soho Building is a classic French restaurant. The wait to score a seat here is ludicrous. It has been around since the 70's and survived all things disastrous in NYC and just seems to get better with time although there is no Michelin Star on the horizon. Raouls offers fine steak, fish and Alsation cuisine in a cozy, friendly atmosphere. The dinner menu sports classics like: Maine Lobster Tortellini, the signature Steak au Poivre, Pasta Al Ceppo with braised Lamb and the much sought after, French-styled house Cheeseburger. I devoured my Cod with Scallops & Shrimp, with gusto. The food here is well executed and solid.
Be the first to ReplyA Fun Night of Food, Drink & Conversation
We had a great night at Raoul's ! We showed up without reservations. The place was absolutely slammed. We ordered drinks at the bar and bided our time on the second floor up the winding staircase. There is comfy seats up there where you can have your tarot cards read. Once our seats were ready at the bar we made our way down. We were served throughout the night by the charming Angus. There was a crush all around us having a good time ordering bottles of champagne. We tucked into frisée salad, roast chicken, mussels with frites & a very delicious bottle of Bouvier Marsanny white. All the dishes were simply prepared and spot on. The staff were friendly. Everyone around us at the bar were very approachable in striking up conversation. I think you'll enjoy yourself here.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious. Love the atmosphere.
Sincerely, I have no idea where to begin. It's hard to put into words how great my four-course lunch at the Modern was, but the cuisine was excellent. Unquestionably, it was my best experience at this restaurant for excellent dining.
Be the first to ReplyNot good enough at that price
We’ve been going to this restaurant for years on every trip to NY but this time we were very disappointed. I ordered the seared foie gras at €36. My husband and I were going to share it and thank goodness we didn’t as you practically needed a magnifying glass to see it. A very small portion though it tasted good. My husband was happy with his oysters. Then I had lobster risotto $56 which was claggy in texture and covered in Parmesan which should never be added to an Italian seafood dish. It was also very salty. My husband ordered the dover sole at $76 as it is his favourite fish. He expected a whole fish but instead he got a pile of smaller fillets. Again not great. The bill with 2 beers and one cocktail was $260. We will not be rushing back although the place was full so presumably most customers are happy.

Definitely check out Raoul’s if you’re in SoHo. Our dinner was extremely enjoyable. Our waitress (didn’t catch her name she was blonde and had a really great sense of humor!) was awesome, she was super friendly and gave us great suggestions. You can’t go wrong eating here! We went on a Wednesday night, didn’t make reservations but we were able to snag a seat in their outdoor area which was a cool NY experience.

Way too overpriced! Snobby attitude at the front; very dismissive. Food was just o.k. Tons of better French places in NYC. Would not recommend this place; would not go back! On top of that, the atmosphere is misogynistic. HARD PASS.
Be the first to ReplyInstitution
I love this place and I come every time I visit New York. It’s classic French with a New York vibe. It’s the grandmaster at this. I’ve had to dock it a mark this time for overcooking my steak. It’s only fair. Still love it.
Be the first to ReplyGreat neighbourhood spot, even if their burger is sold out
I was staying in an Airbnb in SoHo and noticed most of the small restaurants in the area were on the west side of SoHo, with the chi-chi shops further east. There were more than a dozen dining spots in a 2 block radius of my apartment, and noticed Raoul's always had a line before its 5 pm opening. I would later discover the line was for its coveted burger, served only at the bar and apparently limited to 12 per day. I was unable to book a reservation here, but scored a spot at the bar long past the time when the burgers sold out. The restaurant, like pretty much all in the area, is small and narrow. The pandemic afforded many places additional outdoor seating, which still remains. I noticed Spring St. is closed to traffic on weekends to allow for even more outdoor dining space on that street. I had a daiquiri, the crab beignets, the steak au poivre and the banana bread pudding cake. Everything was very good to excellent, with the steak being my favourite. Service was good despite the crowds (2 seep at the bar). Didn't need to use the restroom since I was staying so close. Great neighbourhood spot!
Be the first to ReplyBest steak au poivre of NYC
I love everything about this place. The ambiance is very old New York, the cocktails are fab and the food is amazing. I always take the steak au poivre and it never disappointed me. It’s my go to place in New York for a nice cosy dîner.
Be the first to ReplyVery snobbish attitude
The restaurant, which is touted a Soho culinary institute, has a very snobbish vibe. They treat their clients differently depending on wether or not your a celebrity. As for the food, it is good, but there are plenty of restaurants out there serving better French cuisine at a better price.
Be the first to ReplyAlways great
Every time I go to Raoul’s I am reminded how much I love it. The last time I came we failed to get the Steak au Poivre and when I saw it pass us on the way to other tables. It is fantastic. The beet salad was awesome as well. The restaurant has a great vibe and service is always good. Chris, the maitre d’ always welcomes you with a big smile and manages the crowds masterfully.
Be the first to ReplyAlways Memorable Experience!
Raoul’s has always been our go-to place for special nights or just wanting to have an overall memorable dining experience. It’s cozy atmosphere is complimented by artfully decorated walls. Cocktails are perfectly crafted and there is an extensive wine list. Every dish is a culinary delight and always leaves us scrapping any remaining morsels off of the plates as not wanting to waste a drop. Desserts are few in selection but so delicious that one must not pass up a proper ending to a wonderful meal. And if its a birthday, they present your birthday under a harden spun sugar “shroud” that is, itself, a unique treat to savor. Although Raoul’s is small in size and seating, thus can be difficult securing a reservation, they don’t rush you at all to turn the table and let you enjoy a relaxing meal. Raoul’s is a truly unique and memorable dining experience that should be at the top of your NYC dining list!
Be the first to ReplySoHo’s finest
You can’t go wrong here. Classic French food combined with New York Vibe. Brilliant atmosphere. Great old school decor. Eclectic clientele. Brilliant music. Our waiter Javier was an absolute diamond, Hands down best meal we had in NY.
Be the first to ReplySteak au Poivre
Best Steak au Poivre in town. I don’t order anything else when I’m here but if you happen to stop by for lunch, their burger is not bad, either. Service sucks but what can you do?
Be the first to ReplyThe most delicious French food!
My new fav French place in the city 😍 Nestled in the middle of West village, Raoul’s is an elegant and cute spot for delicious dinner! Was totally full on a Thursday night, so make sure to make a reservation. I must say, EVERYTHING WE TRIED WAS DELICIOUS! I am not easy to impress with food… but here I truly enjoyed every bite of food and sip of drink :) For cocktails we had French 75 and Aperol Spritz (delicious!) - very refreshing and perfectly made. We shared Crab beignets for appetizers (A MUST!) and had soft shell crab special and foie Gras for main course. YUMMY. Wanted to skip dessert but everything was too good so we went for a banana-coconut pudding and it was also amazing! This place is also knows for their burgers, but you can only get them for brunch or at the bar. Will have to come back :) Naomi was our waitress and made our experience even better with excellent service she provided, accompanied with a warm smile on her face. For more cool places in NYC and beyond, come say Hi on Insta @daria.newyork ❤️
Be the first to ReplyLovely food, lovely staff and great atmosphere
This place was amazing from start to finish. 3 out of 4 of us had steak and chips and it was out of this world. It was $100 for a bottle of Whispering Angel but the restaurant is so nice that it doesn't matter. Definitely a place to book way in advance but also somewhere I would say is an absolute must when visiting New York City. They don't take bookings until a week before your planned dining date. Get in there quick as the times go really fast!!!
Be the first to ReplyCome for a special, timeless NYC meal
This place is perfect in every way and I was so thrilled to come back to Raoul's now that Covid is more controlled to find that absolutely nothing has changed. It is still the same incredible service, fantastic martinis, and energetic atmosphere.
Be the first to ReplyAs Always, Perfect
The last time I ate here was with my wife who was 6 months pregnant with our daughter. So, 14 years later, I came back with our daughter as we were having a 5 night papa/daughter trip to NYC (her first time in the city). Raoul's didn't disappoint. The same excpetional service (Naomi was on point), the ambiance classic hip, the crowd a great mix and the food on point as usual. It was great to see the restaurant through my daughter's eyes. She appreciated all the details that make Raoul's special. The only down side was the back garden wasn't open so hopefully someday it will be an option as that walk through the kitchen is unique. We can't wait to come back and a big thank you for Raoul's for being Raoul's. Consistency over the years is something to really appreciate.
Be the first to ReplyGotta go once...
You at least have to go once to Raoul's. The fries will bring you back again, as well as the quirkiness.....but brunch was just fine. Not certain we'd run back soon, but it's a well deserved staple in the Soho dining scene, and we enjoyed ourselves and the food.
Be the first to ReplyOlde New York; fun, hopping, wonderful food.
Small, intimate, dripping with atmosphere, simply wonderful food and service. We were looking for an olde New York type of place, none over the run with tourists normal lineials. Raoul’s s checks all the boxes. It’s simply a fun casual, non-pretentious place. Everything prepared very carefully, with great attention, never simply slapped on the plate.
If you want to be hip in the village, have a truly great meal and a wonderful atmosphere, this is for you.
Top if your List!
This is a must! French bistro in the village with a history dating back to the 70’s. I was there for brunch and Angus gave us 5 star ⭐️ service & hospitality. All while managing tue entire bar & mixing cocktails.
Be the first to ReplyHORRIFIC NIGHTMARE
I’ll start off by saying, having lived in New York for almost 10 yrs, I frequented Raoul’s many a time for drinks at the bar/dinner and had always had a great experience. At the beginning of the pandemic, I moved to Italy and when we came to Raoul’s last night, it was my first time back in NYC in almost 2 years, and the first time with my husband. We had a special weekend planned with my best friends who still live in the city and chose from the plethora of amazing options; Raoul’s for dinner on Saturday night. I made the reservation for 4 ppl at 9:45pm. My husband and I arrived and checked in with Chris, who I immediately recognized as the Maitre D whom I introduced to my husband and we chatted with him for a couple minutes when we checked in for our reservation (made on Resy) and told him how excited we were to be back and having dinner at one of my favorite old haunts. Chris was perfectly polite and asked us to grab a drink at the bar and that he would come get us when our table was ready (which is perfectly normal and expected, especially on a Saturday night). Our friends arrived and the important point to note is that we were all marked as “CHECKED-IN” for our dinner reservation. That said, it was a busy Saturday night, all the tables were filled and since we reserved a table indoors, I figured we may have a bit of a wait. No biggie, we get it, we’re patient. We’ll, 3-4 rounds of drinks in, and having seen Chris walk right past us several times I finally (trying not to be too pushy) asked him when our table would be ready. Without a second thought or hint of remorse, he just said blankly “kitchens closed, no table. We texted you” (which since I have an Italian #, I didn’t receive and had told them as much when I called to confirm the reservation earlier that day). Anyway, I hadn’t realized how late it was because we were having such fun catching up together at the bar but at this point it must have been 11:30pm. It had never even occurred to me to look at the time, I trusted that someone would get our very obvious party of 4 who literally had not left our perch at the corner of the bar since the moment we arrived. We were devastated, STARVING and had several drinks on an empty stomach and really NEEDED DINNER. And it would have been one thing, if Chris had offered a sincere apology and offered to at least take care of a round of drinks off our tab, but no. He just said “I’d offer to buy you another round but I guess you just want to eat something”. My husband who’s the sweetest most patient man in the world, was rightfully upset (as we all were) and just couldn’t believe what was happening. Instead of taking responsibility, Chris blamed us then told us that the hostess came looking for us several times and “couldn’t find us”. Just wanting to get out of there and find somewhere to eat ASAP, I politely asked if Chris could recommend anywhere with an open kitchen. He told us “try Blue Ribbon around the corner.” We paid the $300 bar tab, and quickly made our way over to Blue Ribbon. No tables available. We then hopped in a cab and went towards Tao (called them, also just closed their kitchen), desperately I asked the driver to take us to L’Express (another French place that’s fine and known for being open 24hr/7). ALSO CLOSED. We were entirely out of ANY POSSIBLE FOOD OPTIONS. Even room service at the Standard (hotel we were staying at) was closed. So yes, you guessed it. We canned to my girlfriends place in the UWS and ordered burgers and chicken tenders (crappy fast food) from the only place still open. Oh, and in the midst of all this, my girlfriend stopped her phone and cracked the screen (result of drinking on an empty stomach!). What I don’t get is how pompous and dismissive Chris was. THE LEAST THING HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IS COMPED OUR BAR TAB. Clearly this guy feels he’s untouchable and is completely checked out of his job. It’s absolutely the worst experience we could have had. I also got a real vibe of male privilege from him and it’s just inexcusable what happened and that he didn’t lift a finger to make it right. Any maitre D worth their salt, would have comped our drinks and tried to use their clout to call and get us a table somewhere else. His treatment of us really makes me feel that we were being discriminated against, being an Asian/Italian mixed group. I know there’s been a lot of hate crimes in the city and I just can’t think of any other reason they “couldn’t locate us at the bar”. Give me a break. The bar is tiny. 4 people in a group are literally impossible to miss. Terrible ending to our otherwise great weekend in New York.

Raoul’s continues to prosper and offer a culinary delightful experience. Chris the MaitreD’ is wonderful, the service attentive, friendly and professional (increasing fly uncommon in this post-COVID era) and the food delicious as always.
