2 Fools and a Bull
Don't be Fooled by the name of the new eatery which has taken up residence in what was the Espanjola Way on the Palm Beach Road in Noord. 2 Fools and a Bull offers guests a unique dining experience previously unknown to Aruba. The 2 Fools, Fred Wanders and Paul Faas have created a unique atmosphere in a restored Old Cunucu House guaranteeing that guests at 2 Fools and a Bull, feel they are entering a private home. Taking center stage, is a fully restored, authentic French firewall, the only one of its kind in the Caribbean! A comfortable "dining bar" seating a maximum of 18 faces the French firewall inviting diners to observe the open kitchen where food becomes art for the senses.

Overrated

Not sure what the fuss is about. One of the fools is a bully. Food was good, but could not get away from the Bully Fool. He insulted people and made me feel very uncomfortable. My friend is a diabetic, he asked to take home his dessert, the Fool took it from him and smashed it. So unprofessional and unnecessary. Will never go there again.

Aruba is beautiful but.....

Sep 27, 2018 - posted by
My first time here in Aruba has been great! This restaurant on the other hand has slightly changed this positive attitude. We were at this establishment for some time, never recieved dinner. It was a very boring time. I was hungry so I decided to leave after drinking the cranberry vodka I had ordered.

Found out I was charged $235. I went back to get a refund for what I didn't have and was laughed at. I would highly recommend going down the road a little to find a better dining experience. Don't ruin your vacation here.

My husband and I had the most incredible dining experience at Two Fools and a Bull. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and it was \"hands down\" the best meal of our vacation. The food, ambiance and presentation are stellar! It is truly a keeper! I hope to visit again :)

Fantastic ! Chef Fred & Host Paul made us feel right at home . The food was prepared and presented beutifully . The experience was not your typical restaurant dining . It was more like being invited to their home to join them in the celebration of food and wine . Thank you to fools and for using the bull :) The lam hops where amazing . Looking forward to being invited & seeing you same time next year . South Jersey Sambuvca Lol .. John & Joanne Liccio

CONTINUED EXCELLENCE

Mar 25, 2014 - posted by
We returned to 2 FOOLS this year (2014) with continued high expectations for them and they met and exceeded the challenge once again. Believe it or not we are running out of compliments that we can bestow upon this place and its proprietors. Everything about it is simply superlative - food, service, atmosphere, entertainment, and the diners they attract (whom you interact with as well) are all part of the "superlative experience". These proprietors simply have their act consistently together and it shows in every aspect of the business. 2 FOOLS is not number 1 without reason and it appears that they will remain so for some time to come and, in our opinion, that status is a noticeable distance from number 2. The only thing that we can even remotely think of that might improve the 2 FOOLS experience is to be adopted by the proprietors, Paul and Fred, and have the opportunity to dine with them every evening. We already have our reservations in for 2015 and, though one is made to feel like family anyways, at that time we hope to be able to present our case for our formal adoption. Remember to make your reservation early (and re-confirm it as the date gets closer) for one of the most memorable dining experiences that you can partake of in Aruba and Enjoy. The experience is a real treat and will, most likely, be one of the highlights of your trip to Aruba.

2 Fools = Amazing Dinner!

May 17, 2013 - posted by
This is the third time I've had dinner with the 2 Fools and, once again, incredible food and an incredible evening. Alot of fun to mingle on the patio with the other guests before dinner with a complimentary glass of champagne. By the time you're seated for dinner, it feels like a fun dinner party where everyone knows you. Each course was amazing and the wine pairings were spot on. This is definitely a fun dining experience for the entire evening!

You Be A Fool Not To Try

May 12, 2013 - posted by
We made our third trip to see the Fools this week and it was as good as the first two. Fred is the artist and Paul is the entertainer. We had Veal Carpaccio followed by Shrimp Ravioli. After a small break we were served Grouper Thermidor and then Beef Tenderloin Stroganoff. There is an explanation of what ingredients these dishes are made with, but I didn't take notes because I was too anxious to start eating. Every bite is so good. I am not an adventurous eater by any measure, but when I go to 2 Fools and a Bull I just go for the ride and it is undoubtedly the best eating I have ever experienced. The wine pairings are extra and you can go with or without them, but I have always found them to accent the meal perfectly. For the 3rd time I have also found the company to be part of what makes the evening great. You meet 10-12 new friends that are in great spirits that add to the experience. Finish with an exquisite dessert, then the Staff Meeting on the patio with Paul and Fred and 5 hours flew by. My only regret is if I keep writing these reviews, I won't be able to get in on future trips.
