The Folly Restaurant

A unique restaurant located across the road from the exit of Monument Station in London. There were so many people eating and drinking there at three in the afternoon. I went to the bar to get some snacks and saw this peach pie. The waiter brought it to my seat and said it was not on the menu and was a treat for me.

The Folly restaurant in Oxford is near Christ Church Cathedral⛪️, a modern European restaurant with a nice environment by the river. The 17-hour beef is super delicious! [Taste] The beef is delicious [Environment] Beautiful [Service] Standard

I've seen it in London. The environment is good. The steak is delicious. It's unique and right by the river, so the air is fresh. The portion is a bit small. I didn't feel full. The price is OK.

The Western and vegetarian food are very good. The environment of the restaurant is very good. The food we ate here is also very good. Overall it is very good. I recommend the environment here.

In Oxford, even dining here is poetic! The Folly—a forest-clad log cabin restaurant tucked away on the shores of Folly Bridge 🌿, with a glass room suspended over the river—is a place to read, drink, and wait for the swans to pass by...it's like stepping into Alice's secret afternoon tea wonderland! 📍 How to Get There? (Off-the-beaten-path routes included) ✅ Most Romantic: Punting Directly From Magdalen Bridge Pier, rent a punt 🚣♀️ and float down the Cherwell for 20 minutes. The restaurant docks at its own small pier ⛵️—get seated as soon as you disembark! ✅ Walking Directions From the city center → walk south along St. Aldate's Street for 10 minutes → you'll see the red-brick house at the end of Folly Bridge (with vines hanging from the doorway 💚) ✨ Exciting Experiences 1. Magic Window Seat: Grab a floor-to-ceiling window seat facing the river! Watch the long poles pierce the sunset 🌅, and occasionally encounter a family of swans on parade 🦢 2. Forest-inspired dining: wooden beams with hanging plants and a wall of antique books 📚. Listening to the dripping glass on rainy days is even more soothing ☔️ 3. Hidden sports viewing opportunity: Oxford vs. Cambridge Rowing Season 🚣♂️, the terrace instantly transforms into a VIP seat! (Check the event calendar) 🍽️ Taste Highlights • Afternoon Tea: Scones with Clotted Cream and Elderflower Sparkling Drink 🍹, dessert stand filled with butterfly cakes • Dinner Highlights: Slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder with Mint and Pea Puree 🐑, Wild Mushroom Wellington (juicy pastry!) • Tipsy Moment: Pimm's Cider, the same kind Cambridge professors drink 🍓, with a daisy in the glass~ 📸 Photography Guide ✅ 5:00 PM Blues Moment: Gold leaf on the river, capture silhouettes by the window ✅ Magical Book Wall at the Bar: Raise your glass against the walnut bookshelf ✅ Dusk at the Pier: Capture the pink and purple sky and the returning boats 💡 Survival Tips • Make a reservation! Grab a "Riverside Table" on the official website (book 2 weeks in advance) • Sunny days, bring sunglasses 🕶️: The light from the glass room is incredibly bright • Return walk: Walk along the river to Christ Church College to see the Great Hall from the "Harry Potter" film ⛪️ • Next door, Parsonage Grill steakhouse: From the same group, meat lovers should consider it. As dusk falls over the spires, and a long oar is reflected in a wine glass... At The Folly, even time seems to stop for Oxford. "Here, even the river whispers sonnets." 🌙 🔍 Tip: There's a live jazz performance on Sundays!
