“ So glad Napanee has this top tier restaurant, intimate vibe with it being a smaller venue, but amazing quality and flavours. Would highly recommend coming to eat here while you can! Book a reservation so you know you’re able to get a table. The changing menu gives you diverse options and they thankfully have gluten and dairy free options (sometimes?). Hoping to come back again ”
“ What an ahhhmazing foodie experience! From the dumpling starters to the Dino rib and curry bowl, it was an authentic Chinese-Cambodian escape with Chef David’s culinary twist (& Tia’s collaboration - of course!) Our server Cynthia brought the meal to life with her passionate knowledge of each dish! ”
“ Amazing place. The food was absolutely delicious. Will come back every time I am around. Totally recommend the Shrimp Crisps ”
“ My wife and I had dinner here and loved it! The fried dumpling was so tasty and crunchy, the chicken katsu portion was huge and so good on a bed of noodles, and our favorite item was the Dino bone. The meat was so tender and ordered with the Kalbi sauce. So good. The Chef also brought out their pepper sauce on the side; which was also dynamite with the Dino. We’ll definitely go back. ”
“ Had the pleasure of discovering this little hidden treasure last week with a friend of mine & we enjoyed the most delicious meal; Chicken Pad Thai, Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Pistachio Ice Cream. All divine. Love that you can have your level of "heat" adjusted. Service was wonderful. Small, cozy restaurant. Great for date night. I suggested reservations as it is smaller venue & seems to be very popular! ”
“ Cute little spot with tasty food. Preordered so 4 of us ate dinner and were out the door within an hour. Really loved the chicken appetizer, the egg rolls were nice and crunchy but lacked flavor, some salt would help. King tu pork was tasty, friend got the half rack ribs, thought they tasted like keg spice but they were tender. ”
“ Another wonderful meal at Fool’s Kitchen. The food was fresh, so flavourful and beautifully served. The service is always so attentive and kind. A little gem of a restaurant which is worth the drive to Napanee. Can’t wait for the patio. ”
“ A world class dining experience! Sincerely, we travelled to many countries & enjoyed eating in many fine restaurants. The Fool’s Kitchen rivals the best. Their dishes are lovingly prepared by hand from the finest fresh, whole ingredients. The appetizers, mains & desserts are as beautiful to see as they are to taste. The wait staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. The owner greeted our party of four & the pride & passion they have for their craft is obvious. The seating area is small but comfortable. Take out is available but I wouldn’t trade it for the dine in experience. Avoid disappointment by making a reservation. You’d be a Fool not to try this gem. Five stars ”
