Bazaar in traditional Middle Eastern style with stalls & restaurants under wooden covered arcade.

Folly is the gem of Souk Madinat Jumeirah - a modern British restaurant by chefs Nick Alvis and Scott Price that brings seasonal, ingredient-led cooking to one of Dubai's most spectacular settings. The waterway views from the terrace are stunning, and the menu is thoughtful without being fussy: cured fish, aged beef, homemade bread and vegetable dishes given the attention they deserve. The wine list is well-considered, and the warm, unhurried service makes it ideal for a long, celebratory dinner.
