Bistro LOF in Leersum offers a beautiful natural setting with a terrace. Food reviews are mixed: while some praise the creative modern French dishes and tasting menus, others report inconsistent quality, slow service, and oversights like missing cutlery. Service varies significantly, ranging from attentive sommeliers to perceived rudeness or neglect. A notable drawback is the lack of accessible facilities for disabled guests, specifically the absence of an accessible restroom. Although the ambiance is cozy and the location scenic, the dining experience is hindered by unreliable service standards and limited accessibility, making it a place where attention to detail is crucial.

The wooden horse heads on the walls, the impressive chandeliers that call to mind the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage, the partitions between the tables: you can't help but notice that you're dining in the former stables of Amerongen Castle. The terrace overlooking the castle and gardens is breathtaking! The cuisine is characterised by its use of locally sourced ingredients, French cooking techniques and a global outlook. The duck gyoza in a rich game broth with marinated mushrooms and crispy scallions says it all!
