Raoul's (Maida Vale)

• The Maida Vale 'Raoul's Cafe' and 'Raoul's Deli' are the 'originals'
• If you're not eating in the cafe you are going over the road to buy food from the deli and take it home
• The eggs benedict with spinach is best at the cafe and the salad boxes at the deli are delicious
• The ONLY thing that has started letting Raoul's down is the staff they used to be wonderful the sorts of people who remembered your name and what you liked
• I used to live just around the corner and was happily ensconced in Raoul's for a breakfast with friends every weekend
• That being said the few times I was tempted to try something else
• The Mezze Plate is great for sharing over lunch
• In fact the pasta is pretty good too
• Raoul's Deli across the road is also great
• 10 bracket represents good value for money and goes well with an americano and an orange juice
• In particular the decor inside is exquisite inside leather benches and mirrors add comfort and a sense of space
• This restaurant is one of the best one for week end brunch
• It's often difficult to find a restaurant that is willing to accommodate young children and all the noise that they bring with them
• The menu is pretty simple but care is taken with each plate and everything tasted great
• The interior of the cafe is ambiently lit and there is always a nice buzz about the restaurant
• The smoked salmon scrambled eggs is also very good
• It was never going to win any prizes but it was tasty and the service was passable
• At dinner the other day it was actually disappointing
