Last weeks of Rigatoni Alla Vodka as you know it... Appreciation post for our favourite veggo dish, which has some serious staying power having been on our menu for almost a year! 🍝 Made with Tilde Vodka, creamy arrabbiata and chilli flakes.

We're about to give it a mini makeover - watch this space - so get in quick if you want to enjoy it in its current form.🤏🤏🤏 The perfect choice for World Pasta Day Friday 25 October.

Can't go wrong with a Salumi Plate – Prosciutto, mortadella, bresaola, cornichons, Guindilla peppers.

Folly's Bar & Bistro - Sydney Weekender You can’t beat a great neighborhood restaurant and in down-town Cammeray, you’ll find one with a top shelf bar to match! Folly’s Bar and Bistro is the love-child of besties, and hospitality professionals, Lachy and Sam, who wanted to maintain some of the charm and nostalgia of the site, former...

There's one more reason to pop into Folly's this spring, with the launch of our new 🌟 Mid-Week Mates 🌟 menu offer. Enjoy two courses, a side and a drink, choosing from a special set menu, for $45, Tuesday-Thursday, 3pm-9pm.

How good is a juicy, smokey, salty, beautifully-cooked rib eye?

One of Sydney's 6 best vegetarian dishes = our smoked mozzarella, crème fraîche, fig, persimmon & tarragon oil.

Australian Good Food Guide describes it as "an artful treat" and "a visual and culinary delight well deserving of its status as one of Sydney’s best vegetarian dishes, it is only challenged by the restaurant’s honey and truffle drizzled sweet potatoes. If in doubt, order both."

Sam doesn’t like the limelight, so just leaving this here... Happy birthday Smith! He’s rostered himself a day off today, but open to receiving birthday wishes all week 🎈

Add a little Folly to your life during the week with Afternoon Swill - our version of Happy Hour - 4pm to 6pm Tuesday to Friday.

🍻 $7 selected tap beer schooners and $9 pints
🍺 $10 Guinness pints
🍷$7 house wine
🍹$14 Aperol Spritz
🥃 $15 Tommy’s Margs and Negronis

Four fantastic drops for your Friday. . (LtoR)

🍷 22’ Alpha Box & Dice ‘Golden Deliciosco’ Semillon, Adelaide Hills SA - our current skin contact on the pour. It’s a touch spicy, stewed peach and apricot, blood orange and lime. With or without food, it’s a winner.
🍷 23’ M&J Becker Wines ‘Hunter Valley’ Chardonnay, Hunter Valley NSW - bright and sappy, fleshy nectarine, rockmelon and some subtle oak, finished with textural creaminess. M&J Becker continue to impress and this is one cracking local Chardy that we love!
🍷 22’ Domaine Fevre AC Chablis, Chablis FRA - classic Chablis from a family-owned domaine in the heart of the region. Notes of fleshy pear and peach with great freshness and soft texture.
🍷 20’ Domaine d’Orfeuilles Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc, Loire Valley FRA - quickly becoming a local and staff favourite, this Chenin doesn't disappoint. Flavours of pear, quince, fennel and sweet cardamom are backed up with a generous acid line to keep you coming back for more.

Named one of Sydney's best by Good Food and Time Out Sydney, our Sunday Roast goes off every Sunday from 12pm until sold out. And some weeks, it sells out EARLY so run, don't walk, for 12-hour slow-roasted beef brisket, roast potatoes, Dutch carrots, Brussels sprouts with bacon jam, a fluffy Yorkie, and red wine gravy.

Cocktail magician, wine wizard, beer mage, our co-owner Lachy Sturrock is the conjuror and keeper of our beverage list. Drawing on his extensive experience drinking, curating and creating drinks - including a decade running bars across Applejack Hospitality - he makes it his mission to keep your thirst quenched in the most delicious of ways.

Take all the thinking out of the equation with our deliciously generous set menus...🍽️ Choose from our OG feast menu with nine share-style dishes including grilled spatchcock and basque cheesecake for $85 per person, or our new $70 per person set menu with 7 share-style dishes including a MB2+ scotch fillet and truffle mushroom fettuccini. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Just a few weeks left of winter which means just a few Wednesdays left to enjoy mussels night! As a little hat tip to times gone by when one of the best Belgian beer cafes in Sydney, Epoque, occupied this very site… we're serving up pots of Mornington Peninsula Yumbah Blue Mussels - either "RED" 🔴 tomato, garlic, chilli & basil or "WHITE" ⚪ white wine, garlic, butter, cream, lemon & herb oil - with shoestring fries and aioli for $32, alongside a bunch of Belgian beers. 🍻 Book yourself a table and get in before it's all over: https://follys.com.au/whats-on/month-of-mussels/

From the menu: Smoked Mozzarella, crème fraiche, fresh seasonal figs, persimmon, tarragon oil.

On your feet! You can now hire our private dining room for both sit-down and stand-up soirées with our new canapés menu option. Space for up to 24 guests seated and 40 standing. A great option for Melbourne Cup and festive season parties if you’re planning ahead. Enquire within. 🎉
