I really like Raoul's, because they have the best waffles. I went their every Saturday for breakfast but I don't now because I live in Canada now. I really miss the syrup!
A wise man once said to me, A Full English breakfast is all about the sausage. At 6.95 without tea or coffee, Raoul's full English breakfasts are not bargain basement but yes the sausage passed muster.
What's missing at Raoul's is the warm service and the familiar local faces of the wait staff that went with the passing of Coins. No doubt this place will become 'the' venue of the moment in Notting Hill and I'm sure that Saturday morning, will see the Notting Hill banker brigade out in force but the front of house needs work here.
Service is cold but efficient. My FEB came without tomato or brown sauce, probably early teething troubles but with the over designed interior and unsmiling staff, the mood of the place seemed a perfect compliment to the grey July weather outside.
A wise man once said too me 'A Full English breakfast is all about the sausage'. He was only partly right, 'A Full English breakfast is all about the sausage served with a smile'

Very relaxed, great service, decent coffee and hangover beating breakfasts ... well worth a visit.
The best brekkie on Talbot Road...at least better than a frankfurter and a jammy dodger at Roi's gaff. And THE home of the MyVillage meeting.
The food here is reasonably good and reasonably priced. The service is good although there is one waiter who frankly ruins it for the other staff members (who are all working hard to create a friendly atmosphere). He doesn't listen and seems to give a 'this cold look is surely what Notting Hill is all about' attitude to everything. Aside from him, this establishment is pleasant enough, although I would chose Harlem on Westbourne Grove every time.
The food is absolutely wonderful and the staff are really nice and friendly. They welcome in the same way old customers as new ones. It is a pleasure to eat there for any sort of bite to eat at any time of the day. You need to get there early though or reserve a table because it is hugely popular in this part of Notting Hill if not in all of it.
The food was fantastic. The chef here is clearly a genius. Highly reccommended.
Compliments of the season. A wonderfully atmospheric dining experience, thoroughly recommended ...simply superb, fantastic food, very friendly staff. I've recently had lovely organic hamburger, mezze plate, sauteed calamari, game pie, that sort of thing (set menu also available for reasonable price). Very welcoming place for families with children. It gives me great pleasure to thank the entire staffs for their priceless customer service. I must say the lady waitress (with beautiful blue eyes) was incredible with her smiles. Keep it up.
Opening on the site of the controversial, and long-standing Coins, which once upon a time divided Notting Hillites, Raoul's is the latest import into Notting Hill. Currently there are two Raoul's in Maida Vale serving "mouthwatering food for gourmets," and the latest, slick brunch, lunch and dinner venue promises much of the same on a stretch of road not known for its upmarket eateries... tell us know what you think.Open 9am - 11pm, Monday - Sunday.
"The other day I went to Raouls in Notting Hill and my experience was as good as the ones I had at Raouls cafe Maida Vale, even though it was busy the atmosphere was nice, friendly service by the rushed off their feet staff we got the food and it was the best benedicts I had even better than the ones in Maida Vale even though they're fantastic my other 3 friends had the grilled chicken baguette, organic salmon burger and the venison sausages with haricot beans they were as chuffed about the food as I was. The whole experience at Raouls was great. "
