London

FOLIE: more than phenomenal food, a real sensory experience, known for its inspiring multiculturalism, impressive historical sights, sensational architecture, majestic gardens and infinite agenda for every taste, London just won’t let you down for a single second. There’s only one thing missing here and that’s why we decided to tell you about it.

More than a place to have delicious meals, FOLIE is also where you can spend some quality time surrounded by all those little details that translate into a sensory experience you have never imagined before. Located on Golden Square, where Soho meets Mayfair, FOLIE is the real expression of London itself – multicultural and glamorous in equal doses. All-day long, guests are invited to experience a taste of the Riviera, from Marseille to Portofino, through St Tropez and Nice, combined with the dining out the spirit of modern London.

From the interiors that recreate the sensuality and glamour of the 1960s and ’70s with a modern sensibility to the mouth-watering menu. It’s impossible to talk about FOLIE without mentioning the genius that is Executive Head Chef Christophe Marleix. The real creative force behind FOLIE, his kitchen draws inspiration from all along the French and Italian Mediterranean coastline. The menu is a gentle combination of luxurious ingredients and the humble recipes of the region. Christophe sources and champions seasonal ingredients from small-scale UK farmers, with fish from day boats in Cornwall and Devon, England’s own Riviera, together with artisanal producers from France and Italy.
