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 fuels the chef's innovation. For example, by fermenting spruce in a vegetable broth, he creates a harmonious accompaniment to trout from De Smallert fish farm. The set menu is a celebration of the riches of the Achterhoek terroir.

"For me, cooking is about more than just flavour – it is first and foremost about responsibility. I choose seasonal produce available in my immediate vicinity wherever possible. I am a strong advocate of short supply chains and collaborate directly with local farmers, market gardeners and producers. With our regenerative garden, Buitenplaats Park Ruimzicht, I actively help maintain healthy soil. When it comes to animal products, I deliberately follow a "whole-animal" approach: I regard by-products not as waste, but as potential."

— Bjorn Massop
