What the community has to say about Raoul's

Information about this business (8)

Two brothers journeyed from France to Soho. Serge stood outside importuning passersby to enter and taste. The rest is New York bistro history.

Raoul's may inspire curiosity when you walk past and see that it's packed no matter the hour. You'll find a bohemian crowd packed into this bar, and maybe a celebrity if you're lucky. The menu includes steak, such as the Steak Au Poivre, among other options. This French eatery has a lot to offer, so stop by for dinner and a drink.

Two brothers journeyed from Alsace, France, to Soho, New York. In 1975, they found a little restaurant for sale. They were so poor they threw nothing out, not even the salt. The booths were already in place and they kept the chairs until they fell apart or were destroyed in the brawls that marked the early years. Guy turned his Alsatian cooking skills to fine steaks and fish for low prices -...

Fun French Boite

Great steak au poivre. The menu is written up en francais on a small blackboard on the table although they also have an English language menu. Classic selection of bistro fare with a nice winelist. I had crab raviolis and rabbit rillettes. A fun place to dine with friends.

There are no show-stopping visuals or grand displays at Nagomi; simplicity is the key here. Natural wood chairs and tables softly illuminated by intimate lighting and a small sushi bar in the rear of the restaurant don't detract from the…

The "‘it' factor" endures at this "classic", circa-1975 SoHo bistro that stays "true to itself" and its arty admirers with "surprisingly serious" French fare served in a "sexy" setting that includes a "magical" garden accessed through the kitchen; though it can be "noisy and crowded", few rue its "popularity" or high price.

One of the first trendy spots in SoHo, this arty French restaurant has yet to lose its touch, either in the kitchen or with the atmosphere. Expect a chic bar scene—especially late at night—filled with polished PYTs, amazing photos on every piece of available wall space, and a lovely back room that you reach through the kitchen. The winding stairs to the upstairs dining room are narrow and a bit...

Raoul's Restaurant Review

Sometimes the most unpretentious concept becomes the biggest scene, and such is the case with this simple bistro, which recently celebrated 25 years in business and is as popular today as the day it opened. One of the first hip spots in SoHo, Raoul's continues to draw the local artist and leggy model set, and Uptowners eager to hang with them. The décor is classic New York storefront: a long...

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...

Terrific little restaurant. French with a bit of soho thrown in. Starter of frois gras excellent but wanted more. Superstar main course of halibut and risotto. Creme brûlée was superb. Wine list fabulous. Service was really good. Great ambience in the room. 100% return every...

THE burger

I thought my meal was delicious but my husband ordered the burger, fries, and gravy and I wish I had as well! One of the best I have ever had. The cocktails and service were also on point. This one is worth going out of...

Not quite as good as I expected

An off-menu special today was a veal chop ($64). Waitress herself specified "medium rare", but it came back closer to "well". Had a 9:30 reservation for 2, but since my partner bowed out I came alone. Sat at the bar; watching the room, they would...

Great, food, great atmosphere and great service. So glad the place I wanted to go was fully booked, this was an excellent experience, right down to the 80’s disco music. Highly recommend to anyone

Tips about this business (6) view all

Fun Fact: Part of Raoul's charm lies in its back story: In the 1970s, two brothers from Alsace, France, scraped together enough francs to buy a speakeasy. Consistently good food has kept derrières in the chairs for decades.

Know Before You Go: One word: Reservations. Without them, you run the risk of being stuck on the outside, looking at all the fun, pretty people within.

Where to Sit: Banquettes line the cozy, yet lively front. Accessible via the kitchen, the year-round garden room is quieter and more private, but sometimes chilly in the colder months.
