What a surprise! This little restaurant had great food which is cooked to order and is simply delicious. The escargot was dry-my only negative comment. The proprietor is fabulous. Knowing that the wait is long, he entertained us by giving us riddles to solve. If you get three right, you get free desserts. We laughed ourselves silly! Prices are reasonable. Will definitely go back.

My husband and I had dinner here recently and we would highly recommend it! My husband had the Dover Sole which the waitress deboned table side-it was delicious! My order of Chilean Sea Bass was yummy! We shared the best escargot we have ever eaten. The drinks (try the Cherry Blossom!!) were terrific as was the service. We have already made Reservations to return!

Loved the cucumbersalat, almost like my grandmother's Hungarian one. Tasty sautéed onions on top of the Holzfaeller Schnitzel, added another dimension to my "go to" German dish. The Schnitzel Zigeunersch had a tasty mushroom gravy. We ordered traditional German pilsners, which were only $5.00. Turned our cousin onto Jaegermeister! If you like wursts, several platters to choose from.

Reviewed By dawnweek8_9 - Pasadena, Maryland
My meal was terrible. I ordered crepes with fresh spinach and ricotta cheese in tomato sauce. I ordered this dish because I love spinach and tomato sauce. As you can see from the picture there was about a tablespoon of tomato sauce on the whole dish. I expected to recognize spinach in the dish. Instead it was like a green dried paste with no taste. The waiter came to the table before we had taken our first bite to ask if everything was ok. I told him then we had not tried anything yet. He never came back. When he came to clear the table he still did not ask why I had not eaten my meal. So I told him it was horrible and proceeded to tell him all the reasons why. He never offered another meal or offered to take it off the bill. He could care less. It was a very uncomfortable experience. Fortunately he was willing to call us a taxi. This restaurant is at a house in Noord. My husband had linguini with clams, it was acceptable, not great. WE WOULD NEVER GO BACK.

A 5 course dinner experience, a " one night only" in the house of the Fools!Starting at 7pm, till ? 18 seats only...An experience you wont forget!
Reviewed By Kellie T
We absolutely loved 2 Fools and a Bull!!! The experience whole coupled with the amazing food, truly made it one of my top 3 dining experiences ever!!!
It’s a set menu, so it definitely took me out of my comfort zone- but I’m thankful for that. I tried foods I probably never would have otherwise ordered on my own.
If you’re coming to Aruba I HIGHLY suggest you get yourself on the reservation and/or wait list when you book your hotel.
Unfortunately we hadn’t even heard of it until we got here. So we called and emailed daily and we just happened to luck out, that a nor’easter back home, allowed us to get in last minute.
I felt like a kid of Christmas when I got that call from Pauly, telling us we “you’re the lucky fools”.
Pauly is the front man, very dry humor but hilarious!!
Bas is the chef and he didn’t disappoint!!
My husband and I both agreed it was a 5 star experience.

Heard all about this place so stopped by for lunch while husband was in a working lunch meeting. Poke bowl was $12 & came with ahi tuna, coconut rice, a bit of pineapple & mango, cucumber, onion, chopped romaine lettuce & I requested the spicy sauce. Very good though I could have handled a bigger bowl. Will be back to try their other bowls soon.

Reviewed By Dan V - Plainfield, Illinois, USA
What a night. Truly five star rivaling all the other M-starred restaurants we've enjoyed. Nathan was a great host. And chef and his crew provided an unforgettable experience. From the sparkling wine on the patio, through each course, to the unexpected but scrumptious take-home cupcake, everything was artfully presented, with great culinary skills and incredible flavor profiles. Some say it is expensive. It is, but not as much as many M-starred, and it was a multi-hour "experience". If we go back to Aruba, we will go back to TKT.
