MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Nowadays, Villa Ruimzicht is both a hotel and home to this elegant and 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 the commitment of Bjorn Massop and his team 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. For instance, 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.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
"
I firmly believe in the old farm model where we restore value to residual streams as raw materials, but with the efficiency and knowledge of the here and now. By working very closely with the agrifood sector in our region, we have established an efficient short chain where we pay each other fair prices and help each other with challenges. Seasons are in our DNA as we use what the regenerative garden has to offer us. We compost our vegetable residues and where we can, this is processed into food for our pigs.
