Restaurant BUS Whisky | Enjoy regional produce in Loosbroek
Enjoying regional produce
Proef Lokaal!
Every whisky distillery has its own tasting room. But at BUS Whisky, Proef Lokaal also stands for enjoying regional produce. In the Proeflokaal of BUS Whisky we serve a surprise menu. Dining at BUS Whisky means: regional produce, foraged ingredients, an organic wine list and enjoying everything from dry-aged beef to fully plant-based dishes, home-brewed beers and a view of the whisky distillery.
Experience an evening full of local flavours and choose the number of courses that suits your wishes. Let yourself be surprised by different courses. Every course is a dish crafted down to the finest detail by our chefs!
Whisky & wine pairing
For each course it's also possible to have a whisky or a wine, specially selected to be served with the dish. The wine arrangement is of course also available in an organic (BOB) variant. Don't drink alcohol at all? Then we have lovely mocktails and matching non-alcoholic drinks. We're happy to advise you on that too.
Naturally, all menus are also available in a vegan version, and we're happy to take gluten-free diets and other common dietary preferences or allergens into account.
Honest food. Pure enjoyment.

Yes. The restaurant offers the entire menu in vegetarian and vegan versions on request. You can share dietary wishes or allergies in advance when you make your reservation, so the kitchen can take them into account.
Every month we host extensive tastings led by an expert. But if you feel like getting to know even more Bus Whiskies after the tour, before sitting down for dinner, feel free to join us at the restaurant and let yourself be surprised! We've put together two lovely whisky flights especially for connoisseurs. The glasses are served at your table, including bites and cards explaining the whisky and its flavour profile.

Yes. You can choose a whisky pairing per course, a wine pairing or an alcohol-free pairing. The whiskies come from Bus Whisky's own distillery and are matched to the dishes.
Yes, reservations are required. The restaurant works with limited capacity to guarantee quality and calm. And if, unexpectedly, there are no reservations, the chef may decide to close. This way, we prevent waste together.
Yes. Every day you can combine a whisky tour with dinner. You start with a tour through the distillery and then sit down for dinner in the restaurant. On Friday evenings there's a tour at 17.30 with a special offer including a three-course dinner for € 49,50 p.p.
A dinner takes on average 2 to 3 hours, depending on the number of courses and whether you choose a pairing. The dinner is meant to be a relaxed evening out.

The restaurant stands out through:
-
the combination of food, whisky and experience at one location
-
local and almost exclusively organic ingredients. Is an ingredient not organic? Then we need an extra good reason for it: we call that an 'alibio', and we'll explain at your table why we still chose this product, despite the lack of an organic certificate. That usually means an even more sustainable, even better story, and local.

Sustainable dining
Nose to tail
We work very closely with our suppliers and put together a menu every week based on their offerings. This lets us respond perfectly to the seasons and what mother nature provides. Our chefs go to the farm themselves to select a bull or cow that's slaughtered for us. We then process it 'nose to tail'. We try to use everything that comes from the land. We give value to products that would otherwise be unintentionally labelled as waste or by-products, for example by also using the peel or the pit. We process everything to minimise food waste and reduce our footprint. And our menu is entirely based on that principle.
Home-brewed drinks
Besides our own home-distilled whisky, most of the other drinks on our drinks menu are also brewed and bottled on our own farm. From home-brewed beers made from our own brewing barley and cider from our own apples, to self-bottled craft sodas. And not to forget the home-distilled eau-de-vie and homemade liqueurs made with fruit from our own food forest.
Food forest & vegetable garden
Our own food forest is a place where we largely let nature take its course. Many of our front-of-house staff regularly lend a helping hand in the food forest and vegetable garden themselves, and can therefore tell you plenty about it. How wonderful is it that our chefs can take a walk through the food forest in the morning, and that during this walk, creativity gives rise to new dishes that are already presented on our menu that same evening? That's our chefs' ambition, and we work hard on it.
