Restaurant Lokaal

Restaurant Lokaal

This impressive villa was originally constructed in 1853 for a wealthy farmer and later served as a school. Nowadays, the building of Villa Ruimzicht is a great place for foodies, as it has two unique restaurants. Restaurant Lokaal is one of them and has a regional character. The dishes here are served according to a farm-to-table philosophy.

And don’t worry about going home soon, as Villa Ruimzicht has the most comfortable suites for you to stay the night.

Lokaal’s cuisine

Using the best local products from nearby farmers, chef Bjorn Massop transforms these ingredients into modern, elegant dishes. After many years of experience in top restaurants, Bjorn now realizes his dream here, preparing contemporary dishes and giving them a unique Achterhoek twist. Favorites on the menu include wild duck breast with stew of the leg, roasted grains, puree of watercress, kumquat and gravy with spicy green elderberry. A complex, but perfectly balanced dish. The beautiful wine list is compiled by the sommelier and perfectly complements every dish. A wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages is also available.
