Bib Gourmand 2

Raedthuys

Steak tartare, pork tenderloin, cauliflower tempura, truffle risotto... At LEV, the table quickly fills with irresistible delicacies, often prepared using produce from the Achterhoek region. The perfect accompaniment to one of the many beers!

Lokaal

Nowadays, Villa Ruimzicht is both a hotel and home to this elegant, chic yet warm and welcoming restaurant. The name Lokaal can be translated as "classroom" and is a nod to the building's past as a school. But it is also much more than that: it reflects Bjorn Massop and his team's commitment to sustainability. They source everything from vegetables to meat and fish from local small-scale suppliers who share their values. This dining experience is a real education – you will learn that coffee grounds are used to lend earthy notes to a medlar and sherry dessert. Embracing a zero-waste philosophy
