Welcome to Le Fou Frog - a bit of France and New York City tucked away on the corner of 5th and Oak in Kansas City's River Market. Chef/Proprietor Mano Rafael and wife, Barbara, invite you to experience fresh and elegant food, soft lighting, cozy tables, charming servers and an atmosphere that is relaxing, fun and totally unpretentious. We invite you to "be our guest!"
It’s a really small restaurant, even we had reservation, we still had a really bad seat, I was sitting between 2 booth cushions, really uncomfortable. Servers seemed busy, so they were rush you to place order. And we don’t like the light, we can’t see anything, got sauce on the shirt for the small seat and weird red light. Foods were ok, my hub liked his beef tarta and duck, but my salmon dish was a big disappointment, bland, the sauce had weird aftertaste

If I could give this place a million stars, I would. I celebrated my 29th Birthday last night (Friday night). I made a reservation a couple weeks prior for 8 people. The entire staff is incredibly kind, and anticipated all of our needs before we even knew we needed them! Claire was our waitress- she was so knowledgeable, helpful and efficient! She made our experience so fun and memorable. Thank you Claire! The ambience was top notch, very intimate, and the food was AMAZING. I got the escargot, oysters and scallops (that nights special), friends had the steak, escar no pasta, the seafood gnocchi, and the salmon, we all enjoyed everything!
They brought me a glass of champagne, and desert for my birthday, truly felt so special! Thank you to the entire staff- and thank you again Claire our fiery Aries!

Delicious, great choices, and wonderful presentation by Dale that made it a very memorable date night!
We have been talking about dinning there for years, and finally did and it exceeded our expectations.
Make a special plan and dine there. You won't be disappointed.

All of the food here was delicious! The Foie gras frais was top-notch. On the seasonal menu the steak tartar was so yummy! Will definitely come back here when I come to town! Also very reasonably priced!

Everything was 10/10. Service, food, and atmosphere were perfect. Kathleen, our server was incredible. I could recommend this place to literally everyone. It's one of my new favorite places in town. I would tip the chef if I could. The food was so good we took some home for later.
