I was sure I was going to have a nice lunch, but it went beyond my expectations. Great cocktails, food is amazing, they take ingredients you are familiar with, and they twist them in a way that really surprise you. Super friendly service is the icing on the cake. I’ll certainly be back soon to try the rest of the menu.

Best seafood small plates in London, incredible hidden gem!
Found this through the 50% offer they’re currently running on food. The prices were reasonable already but this made it a steal.
We ordered:
Seasonal oysters: delicate and tasty, especially for summer
Salt & pepper cuttlefish tempura: absolutely delicious, some have mentioned it’s too salty but we didn’t think so paired with a dry wine
Red tiger prawn carpaccio: this should be highlighted as a primarily truffle dish, and it was such a treat. The truffle ponzu was perfect for dipping everything in.
Salmon bun: really nice, well balanced, also substantial if you’re looking for that.
Grilled Octopus: what’s not to love about perfectly grilled octopus and smoky chorizo beans?
Potatoes: these were delicious, but I probably wouldn’t order them again as the spices were a bit overpowering of some of the other dishes we got
German Riesling: really fabulous dry crisp wine with all those lovely Riesling flavours but none of the sweetness, so perfect with seafood, and good value!
Also the server was so friendly, the service was so quick, and the evening felt very covid safe -- masks worn by staff and great ventilation with a partially open facade.
Come quickly before this place gets busy as the other favourite central London spots! Couldn’t believe how undiscovered this still is.
I cannot believe that this place is so quiet and empty. It deserves so much love from everyone. This might be one of the best tapas bars outside of northern Spain. Amazing cocktails and otherworldly food. Top that with wonderful and friendly staff! Well worth every penny.

RAW is a great restaurant with a lovely and relaxed vibe. The service was outstanding on the 2 occasions that I visited with my partner and friend. Attentive, polite, welcoming and considerate. The food is delicious. I've tried both the brunch menu and A La Carte both of which have a good variety of dishes. My only gripe is that I wish there were little bit more options in terms of dishes offered. It would be good to add a few more main courses and starters. However, it is understandable if the menu changes seasonally. For me the worst parts of the restaurant are the facilities in terms of the guest toilets - on both occasions that I visited they clearly needed freshening up. The flush is also not great at all and the flush button was clearly broken. Also, the handwash bottle in the ladies is extremely difficult to access because the mirror sits on top of it. The hand dryer in the ladies also did not function well on the 2 occasions that I visited. My strong suggestion would be to maybe consider having someone on hand to freshen the toilets up frequently, especially during the peak service periods. That way it is not forgotten about. It is important that the toilets allow guests to use them with ease so that they can wash their hands frequently especially in covid times.
Overall a nice and interesting menu. I enjoyed the food overall and the service was great.
Like the atmosphere of the restaurant, felt cute and cosy. Really enjoyed the cocktail and happy with what's available.
I have been with friends in this beautiful restaurant. I personally had some seaweed gnocchi, all delicious, and served with great kindness and care by the staff. I recommend everyone to go and try them!!!
Had such a lovely and delicious dining experience here. The wait staff were so friendly and the food was fantastic! Everything was divine. My absolute favourite and stand out dish was the prawn carpaccio with truffle - heavenly. Thank you for an amazing time. Highly recommend this place! @thatfoodlover
My friend and I visited because they had a 50% off food bill in July ! We booked on open table. Service is excellent- waitress was quick and friendly. There was a hair in one of our foods and upon notifying a member of staff they replaced the food and took it off our bill. The scallops, tuna roll and croquettes were tasty. The cuttlefish was a tad too salty. One downside is the music is quite loud so I couldn't hear my friend too well.
We had a lovely meal last night. The experience was wholesome, we had a few dishes including their best seller the red prawn carpaccio and the burrata which was absolutely excellent. We also had the chance to try their octopus with chorizo which makes an amazing combination. We had a few of their ink bloody mary which were excellent. Finally, I’d like to mention the service provided. We were looked after very well by all the staff members (and specially by our waitress Caterina and the restaurant manager Gianpier if I’m not mistaken). We will be coming back for sure!
Carpaccio to die for! Very creative crushed potatoes. Everything was exceptional except the tuna burger(doesn’t live up with the quality of the rest).
