  SF Station: A La Folie
Nafissa Tayebi’s A La Folie serves up delicious concoctions in silks and laces that cover the spectrum from innocent to sizzling; prepare to be enamored.
Though A La Folie is across the bridge in Berkeley’s Fourth Street shopping district, the splendors that beckon should inspire a field trip for women who are tired of shopping for lingerie under the stony airbrushed stares of Adriana Lima and Giselle Bundchen.
At A La Folie, you will find undergarments that are functional as well as fashionable, and for all shapes and sizes.

 La Folie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
I've always been slightly apprehensive of Stranglers recordings that deviated too sharply from their early material, however, with La Folie I began grinning from the opening track and my appreciation for the band just grew from there.
The final track, La Folie, is the album's encore, which conceptually ties the entire work together.
"La Folie was perhaps the first album in which The Stranglers showed their more softer side.

The occasion for this banquet of luxuries was a celebratory dinner at La Folie for me, my parents, my beloved ex-piano teacher, Lois (who shares an April birthday with my mother), and Lois' husband, Ernst.
Lois and Ernst were part of the party not only due to the natal coincidence, but also because they'd dined at La Folie before, which I hadn't, and could comment on the brand-new décor.
My mother loved her "le coco et la passion" dessert, coconut tapioca with passion fruit sorbet, a basil infusion, and a coconut tuile cookie, but it paled against my memory of the first time I tasted a similar dish, created by Claudia Fleming at the Gramercy Tavern in New York City.

 BBC - Jersey - Coast - Point 2 - La Folie
The quay at La Folie divides St. Helier's French and English harbours and was once one of the sites which were part of the thriving local shipbuilding industry.
In its heyday La Folie was the 'local' for fishermen and harbour workers but it is now hoped that the Inn may yet reopen to provide one of the few leisure facilities in this part of town.
During the Occupation, the mouth of the English harbour (to the north of La Folie) was spanned by the German railway which ran across its mouth, past the French Harbour, around the rear of Mount Bingham where the power station now stands and then on to Havre des Pas.

 Home of New Belgium Brewery, Fat Tire Beer, and the Tour de Fat
This really is a very tiny project for us in terms of liquid produced, but the splash La Folie is making on the beer scene certainly is exceeding the mere 3,000 bottles we corked.
As well, with La Folie being redolent of Belgium’s Rodenbach Flemish Red Ale, which just happens to be produced by the brewery where our brew master, Peter Bouckaert, hails from, there has been a fair amount of unavoidable buzz.
La Folie was brewed two years ago, then laid down in wood barrels previously used to store burgundy wine.

They usually have a distinct punk sound, but La Folie doesn't have this at all.
'La Folie' was another concept album based around the cynical notion that the only love possible is the love of oneself.
"La Folie" was the end of one phase of the Stranglers' career: the last of their six albums for United Artists/EMI, and also the last one that really kept the original Stranglers sound mix.

 Beausoleil : L' Amour Ou La Folie - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
From the first track of L'Amour ou la Folie to the last, Michael Doucet and company cover a wide array of material, from original compositions to adaptations of popular songs from the 1930s.
There are some oddities here, like the I-think-this-works-but-I'm-not-sure "Can't You See" (a "swamp pop" song from the 1950s that answers the question, "What would Fats Domino sound like if he lived on the bayou?"), but the majority of the tracks on this record are traditional tunes or fairly straight-ahead Doucet originals.
However, at its worst, it borders on the offensive, as on "Les Blues de la Prison." Even on the stronger tracks, Doucet has some pitch problems, which, although charming, colorful, and completely idiomatic, really begin to grate in large doses (his howling on the traditional "Eunice Two-Step" simply must be heard to be believed).

 Metromix. Review: La Petite Folie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The wild mushroom tart was a bit inelegant -- the crust perhaps a bit too thick, and the tart overall a little undermoist -- though it came with a pleasant mesclun salad with a light mustard vinaigrette.
Everyone is doing foie gras these days, it seems; La Petite Folie's version is notable for its inclusion of paper-thin pear slices and a crunchy endive chiffonade along with the silky seared foie gras.
La Petite Folie means "the little madness," or, as the owners prefer, "the little extravagance." Really, neither interpretation fits; La Petite Folie's small scale and friendly pricing aren't extravagant by any definition, and if the Mastricolas are crazy, we can only hope it's contagious.

For our French restaurant we ended up choosing La Folie and we were extremely satisfied.
We arrived a few minutes late, but thankfully it was a weeknight, and although three quarters of the tables were full, we were not given any static by the hostess due to our tardiness.
La Folie was our favorite dining experience in San Francisco and we look forward to a return visit in the future.

 La Folie and other special New Belgium coming to Stumptown! #446636 - Beer Advocate
I was just complaining to a New Belgium rep (pouring some beers at John's) about the lack of La Folie in Portland.
He told me that Horse Brass and probably Rose and Raindrop will be getting some La Folie and some other special brews on tap within a month or two.
He told me about a batch Fat Tire that was struck by lightning while brewing (at least the brewery was), which somehow caused the beer to reach 10% ABV...sounds like tall tale but this will be coming too...called Devil's Advocate- probably just a double fat tire.

 Amazon.co.uk: La Folie: Music: Stranglers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
La Folie is easily the most underrated album from Britain's most underrated band.
The Madness (of Love) or 'La Folie', unlike its predecessor, is not overburdened with high concept but with a texture like sun (no, stoppit!) and consequently feels lighter in both touch and execution.
As is 'La Folie' as a whole: for all it's minor drawbacks it remains an essential purchase.

 La Folie des grandeurs / Delusions of Grandeur
After the staggering success of Le Corniaud (1964) and La Grande Vadrouille (1966), director Gérard Oury was eager to make a third film featuring the surprisingly popular pairing of Bourvil and Louis de Funès.
Whilst the plot is somewhat less coherent than Oury's other great comedies, La Folie des grandeurs is every bit as entertaining, with the added bonus of some energetic and well-choreographed action scenes.
Whilst La Folie des grandeurs fell far short of topping the success of La Grande vadrouille, it was still a notable success in France, attracting six million spectators.

 C'est la folie - Telegraph
At the start of my adventure at La Folie, many people told me how brave I was, to come and live in France all by myself.
I doubt we'd have hit it off, for I would have been trying too hard to be funny and cool and all the things I'm not, and she would have seemed too much the sassy city girl, too addicted to clothes and handbags and the next glass of Champagne.

La Folie was a lovely surprise and exceeded my expectations from the warmth of the staff to the impeccable dishes.
The restaurant is quite small and intimate, and I would agree that the front room is more interesting and warm than the green room in the back.
With the previous reviews we went with a high level of expectations, and that level was met.
