Raoul's Cafe

Raoul's Cafe at 13 Clifton Road in Maida Vale W9 is a neighbourhood institution that has served the Little Venice and Maida Vale community since 1989. Hardens has noted it as a reliable neighbourhood café with a pleasant terrace suited to the character of the area. Little Venice — the canal junction at Blomfield Road where the Grand Union and Regent's Canals meet — is one of London's most picturesque neighbourhoods: wide waterways, moored canal boats and weeping willows create an atmosphere closer to Amsterdam than central London. Robert Browning lived in Warwick Crescent. The Puppet Theatre Barge, the world's only floating puppet theatre, moors here seasonally and performs between October and July. Raoul's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to the community of Victorian stucco-fronted houses and creative professionals who inhabit this part of Maida Vale W9.
