Picture this: you’re strolling through the lush, serene grounds of Emirates Hills when, suddenly, you’re hit by the irresistible aroma of sizzling European classics, reimagined with a modern twist. No, this isn’t some daydream of a perfect dining experience—this is folly Brasserie in all its glory, newly opened at Address Montgomerie. And trust us, it’s got all the makings of your next favorite hangout.
For the uninitiated, folly isn’t some new kid on the block. Launched back in 2017, the original folly wasn’t just a restaurant; it was the restaurant. Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand? Check. Time Out’s Best European Restaurant? You bet. A spot on the 50 Best list? Obviously. But now, with a shiny new name and an upgraded vision, folly Brasserie is here to prove it’s more than just its accolades—it’s a vibe.
What’s New? Everything And Nothing
Okay, hear us out. folly Brasserie is still all about that unbeatable combination of bold flavors, impeccable technique, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. But now, it’s taken the whole European brasserie concept and leveled it up. Think ingredient-driven dishes that scream classy yet approachable, like the culinary equivalent of wearing a tailored suit with sneakers. The menu? Elevated yet comforting. The execution? Flawless, obviously.
As Naim Maadad, the mastermind behind Gates Hospitality, puts it, “Our vision is to offer guests a dining experience that combines the vibrancy of a contemporary European brasserie with the warmth folly has always been known for.” Translation? This isn’t some snooty, hands-off fine dining spot—it’s the kind of place where you can laugh too loud over a bottle of biodynamic wine and still feel classy doing it.
The Space: Conservatory Chic
Let’s talk aesthetics. The venue is a stunner—like, immediately post-it-on-Instagram stunner. Designed in a conservatory style, it’s all about high ceilings, glass walls, and a heritage-green metal structure that oozes sophistication. Indoor and outdoor fountains add just the right amount of zen, while the terrace serves up jaw-dropping views of the Address Montgomerie fountains and golf course. Basically, it’s the kind of place where you can casually sip a cappuccino or pop some Champagne while pretending you’re the main character in a Netflix series.
Oh, and if you’re planning a special occasion? There’s a private dining room for that. Candlelit dinner, anyone?
Sustainability Never Tasted So Good
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. folly Brasserie isn’t just about wowing your taste buds; it’s about doing it responsibly. The team is big on sustainability, sourcing produce from local and international farmers who really know their stuff. Plus, the beverage program features organic and biodynamic wines because, let’s face it, wine tastes better when you feel good about drinking it.
Even cooler? The menu evolves with the seasons, so you’ll always find something fresh, exciting, and responsibly sourced. It’s like a love letter to the planet, written in the universal language of delicious food.

Whether you’re a hardcore foodie or just someone who appreciates a good plate of pasta and a killer ambiance, this place has something for everyone.
