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

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

Yes. You can choose a whisky pairing per course, a wine pairing or a non-alcoholic pairing. The whiskies come from Bus Whisky's own distillery and are matched to the dishes.
Yes, reservations are required. The restaurant operates with limited capacity to guarantee quality and a relaxed atmosphere. And if, unexpectedly, no reservations have been made, the chef may decide to close. This way, we help prevent food waste together.

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

Sustainable dining
Nose to tail
We work very closely with our suppliers and put together a weekly menu based on their offerings. This way, we perfectly align with the seasons and what mother nature has to offer. Our chefs go to the farm themselves to select a bull or cow that is 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 pit. We process everything to minimise food waste and reduce our footprint. And our menu is entirely based on that philosophy.
Home-brewed drinks
Besides our own distilled whisky, most other drinks on our menu are also brewed and bottled at our own farm. From home-brewed beers made with our own brewing barley and cider from our own apples, to self-bottled craft sodas. And let's not forget the house-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 service staff also regularly lend a helping hand in the food forest and vegetable garden, so they can tell you plenty about it. How wonderful is it that our chefs can take a morning walk through the food forest, and that during this walk, creativity sparks new dishes that are already presented in our menu that same evening? That's the ambition of our chefs, and we work hard to achieve it.
