Raoul’s Is A French Classic Stands Its Ground In SoHo

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

• Raoul’s is a legendary SoHo French bistro that’s entertained celebrities from Robert De Niro to Johnny Depp since the 70s — No matter how many new hot spots emerge in SoHo, the classics will always win
• Dress to impress and expect a lively atmosphere filled with longstanding locals, European tourists, socialites, and sometimes even 20-somethings on outlandish first dates — A collection of eclectic paintings and amber-lit rooms give Raoul’s that intimate homey feel that keeps those steak au poivre devotees coming back
• This Parisian-inspired bistro gives meaning to the phrase “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Raoul’s regulars know it’s best to stick with the classics: artichoke vinaigrette (quinoa, pickled vegetables, and Raoul’s dressing), steak au poivre (hand cut pommes frites), pomme mousseline (insanely creamy mashed potatoes), and the grilled octopus (artichoke confit, olive, saffron-fennel purée, and pomegranate)
