Originally launched in 2017, the brand – then known simply as folly – swiftly became a landmark in Dubai’s culinary scene, earning notable distinctions including the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand twice in a row, Time Out’s Best European Restaurant, rankings on the 50 Best list and toques from Gault & Millau.
Building on this legacy, folly Brasserie reimagines the much-loved concept as a refined yet inviting European brasserie. Guests can expect an elevated menu that blends the spirit of classic brasserie fare with modern culinary flair, featuring ingredient-led dishes executed with skill and finesse.
“We’re absolutely delighted to introduce folly Brasserie at Address Montgomerie – a location that perfectly complements the brasserie’s refined yet welcoming style. Our vision is to offer guests a memorable dining experience that combines the vibrancy of a contemporary European brasserie with the warmth and familiarity that folly has always been known for. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to this exciting new chapter in folly’s ever-evolving story,” says Naim Maadad, Chief Executive and Founder of Gates Hospitality.
The stunning venue is designed in a conservatory style setting, featuring high ceilings, glass surrounds and a heritage-green metal structure. Indoor and outdoor fountains add a sense of tranquility, while a private dining room offers an intimate option for special occasions. An expansive terrace overlooks the Address Montgomerie fountains and golf course, providing a picturesque backdrop for both day and evening dining.
True to folly’s ethos, the brasserie emphasises sustainability at every turn, sourcing produce responsibly and featuring biodynamic and organic wines within an extensive beverage programme. Menus will evolve seasonally, reflecting partnerships with local and international farmers and livestock producers, ensuring both freshness and ecological responsibility remain paramount.
By introducing the term “brasserie,” the team signals that folly’s menu has evolved to match the dynamic demands of Dubai’s hospitality landscape – without sacrificing the creativity, flavour and attention to detail that first made folly an icon. With its heritage, accolades and unwavering dedication to culinary excellence, folly Brasserie stands poised to further establish its place as a leading destination for food lovers seeking a sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming, dining experience.
