Awarded Bib Gourmand by The Michelin Guide and two toques by Gault&Millau 2022, the folly journey begins at the door, with a secret tunnel leading guests up a narrow staircase into the very heart of the bustling restaurant. Exposed brick walls, teal banquettes and traditional dark wood tables and chairs create a classic, timeless feel.
The food at folly is driven by experience and creativity, with a strong focus on flavour and a commitment to sourcing high-quality produce. Contemporary, ingredient-led dishes are executed with skill and finesse and guests are encouraged to create their own tasting menu for a truly personal dining experience

Food was amazing. We went for Summer Restaurant week which included water in the menu - however we were charged for water on our bill as we didn’t specify. We didn’t want it to ruin our evening and didn’t make a scene, but it left a really bad taste in our mouth as it seemed dishonest.

Everything was perfect. We are very glad that we tested it on summer promotion, now it is one of our favorite places.

It was a disappointing experience. We had an evening diner for 2, a set menu part of the Dubai Restaurant Week/Food Festival promotion. Food was nice but atmosphere and ambiance were terrible. Folly chose to put guests who booked the promotion in a separate part of the restaurant, without table cloths, close to a overly lit bar, and with loud music playing, appropriate for a beach lounge maybe but out of place for a what supposed to be a fine dining experience. My suggestion to the restaurant is don't participate in the Food festival if you are not able to provide a consistent dining experience as you would otherwise.

Disappointed especially when we know how good it usually is. We had to chase all three courses several times. Very little attention paid to us despite the restaurant being quiet.

We had a great night at Folly and looking forward to returning again for another wine dinner tour...beautiful food, beautiful selection and matching of wines, and a great fun way to experience the wines of Australia. Thank you again Nick and Scott and in particular Viktorija Paplauskiene for your curated 5 course menu to match the Australian wines you chose.
