Enjoying local products
Proef Lokaal!
Every whisky distillery has its own tasting room. But at BUS Whisky, Proef Lokaal also stands for enjoying local products. In the Proeflokaal of BUS Whisky, we serve a surprise menu. Dining at BUS Whisky means: local products, foraged ingredients, an organic wine list, and enjoying everything from dry-aged beef to fully plant-based dishes, self-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 a dish perfected down to the last detail by our chefs!
Whisky & wine pairing
For each course, it's also possible to have a whisky or wine specially selected to serve with the dish. The wine arrangement is of course also available in an organic variant. Don't drink alcohol at all? Then we have fun mocktails and matching non-alcoholic drinks. We're happy to advise you on that too.
Of course, all menus can also be made vegan, and we're happy to take gluten-free diets and other dietary wishes or allergens into account.
Honest food. Pure enjoyment.

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 a relaxed atmosphere. And if, unexpectedly, there are no reservations, the chef may decide to close. This way, together, we prevent waste.
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 Wednesdays there's a tour at 4:00 PM with a special offer including a three-course dinner for € 49,50 p.p.

The restaurant stands out through:
-
the combination of food, whisky, and experience in 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 the table why we chose this product anyway, despite the lack of an organic certificate. That usually means an even more sustainable, even better story, and local.

Sustainable dining
From head 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 gets slaughtered for us. We then process it 'from head to tail'. We try to use everything that comes from the land. We give value to products that would otherwise unintentionally be labelled as waste or by-product, for example by also using the peel or pit. We process everything to minimise food waste and reduce our footprint. And that's exactly what our menu is based on.
House-brewed drinks
Besides the house-distilled whisky, most of the other drinks on our beverage menu are also brewed and bottled on our own farm. From house-brewed beers made from 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 with fruit from our own food forest.
Food forest & vegetable garden
Our own food forest is a place where we let nature largely 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 a lot about it. How wonderful is it that our chefs can take a morning walk through the food forest, and that during this walk, creativity leads to new dishes that are already presented in our menu that same evening? That is the ambition of our chefs, and we work hard to achieve it.
