FOLIE is a restaurant and a bar located on Golden Square, where Soho meets Mayfair.
All-day long, our guests are invited to experience a taste of the Riviera, from Marseille to Portofino, through St Tropez and Nice, combined with the dining out spirit of modern London.
Led by Head Chef Tomasz Michalski (Isabel Mayfair, The Dorchester; Annabel’s, Langan's Brasserie), the kitchen draws inspiration from all along the French and Italian Mediterranean coastline.
Tomasz sources and champions seasonal ingredients from small-scale UK farmers.
The brunch menu is every Saturday from 12 PM to 3 PM

Fantastic service with really helpful and friendly staff. Would go again if it were not for the uncomfortable seating, my legs were numb after two hours.

A truly great ambience, an interior of style and warmth. Food very good. Cocktails excellent. Overall service was good but our server could have been more attentive, and had to be prompted to offer us aperitifs and table wine.

Very poor service - personnel was impolite and dismissive. At the end of the evening the manager walked in very casually with her dog, extremely shocked that it would be ok for a restaurant manager to do so. Food was average and overpriced. Overall quite unimpressed.

Un restaurant festif et glamour mais pas abrutissant grâce à une bonne playlist ! Accueil et service parfaits, excellentes linguine à la truffe blanche, belle décoration et éclairage très réussi aussi. Bref, une très bonne soirée passée entre amis !

It was a Friday night and there were six of us. However they only gave us two hours even when the service was really slow and the food was really slow. This therefore seemed quite rushed and the time given was inadequate. Even after we paid and we were standing outside a staff member quite rudely said “thank you” to us, giving the impression that they did not even want us to stand outside despite the lack of a crowd. Regarding the food, the tuna tartare had specks of salt in them thereby overriding the flavor. The sea bass did not taste fresh and gave off a very pungent smell. The steak and the beef tartare tasted okay. The duck was not memorable. The desserts were the highlight of the meal but unfortunately we could not enjoy because the bill was placed in front of us. Would not go back. Overall a 4/10.

Always excellent food and beautiful. Staff is pretty arrogant for some reason. This was maybe our sixth time there in the last year and while I don’t expect a red carpet I also think it’s good practice to make people feel welcome and not act inconvenienced when a customer asks to place a drink order before ordering the entire meal. The managers themselves seem attentive but the wait staff isn’t very friendly. We’ve noticed this each time and with different servers. It is a great restaurant and I’ll be back but my advice to management is to let the wait staff know it’s better to smile a bit and not act so put out.

Before going to Folie and as soon as arriving I informed them we were celebrating a birthday and they assured me that they would add a candle on our desert. They completely forgot and ruined the moment. Also, the noise was much stronger than the music from the DJ, thus disturbing the ambiance. The food was super delicious ,however overall experience not great and would not visit again.

The interior including the bar is very nice and ambience good. Feels bright and fresh.Service was also good and attentive. But I thought the food was underwhelming for the location and interior. My lobster salad was basically a huge bowl of lettuce with a few bits of lobster with the odd tomato and some sliced avocado and a bland dressing. It felt as though it had been prepared in one minute. I can prepare something a lot better... I have never seen so much lettuce . So the food would stop a return visit.

I went to have a farewell meal with two friends. As soon as we arrived we left like we were not the type of people wanted there. The waitress was very rude and made us feel very unwelcome. Then to top it off it was £6 for a Diet Coke. And the prices were outrageously expensive. Sadly we had a terrible meal and decided to have dessert somewhere else since we were made to feel very unwelcome.

We had a reservation for 7:30pm. We were told we could only have the table until 8:45. From the moment we were seated at 7:40 we were rushed to order, being asked 3x in a matter of 8 minutes. Our meal was rushed and immediately at 8:45 we were ejected from our table. This was a work/friendly meal. The person we were having dinner with runs the biggest company of its kind. He is you g so we figured he would like the ambiance and music at Folie. It was in very poor taste how the manager and staff behaved and we will not be dining there again. Further, I will make sure to share with friends in London how distasteful the service there was. I do not recommend this establishment as most will generally give you 2-2.5hrs at a table not 1hr 15min. It is truly laughable!
FolieResponded on October 14, 2021Dear Guest, We apologies you didn’t find the service enjoyable. The table you booked being not to your taste, we offered an option with a limited amount of time, as it was rebooked afterwards. Given that you agreed to this deal, we are sorry to hear that it didn’t go according to your expectations. This is not the experience we wish to offer to our guests at Folie. Please send your details at lt@folie.london, I would like to investigate this matter further. Best wishes, Laurel, General Manager

Lovely supper with charming service. Feels like a taste of Monaco. In Soho! To be hyper- critical the spaghetti with clams was only adequate but it takes an Italian chef to really do it well. Loved the tuna tartare and and the chicken paillard. The menu is on the pricy end of the spectrum which maybe is just how things are after lockdown - we are all so grateful to be dining out that we don’t complain about it … yet!

Croque monsieur felt like pretty poor value for money, don't mind the price but it was like like the size of an iphone with the crust cut off. Don't mean to come across as cheap but the bread basket for 1/3 of the price was waayy more generous. Niceoise salad looked good but nothing to write home about. Great terrace otherwise and nice staff.
