One signature. One story. That’s Alma.
Behind Alma stands chef Wouter van Laarhoven. Since November 2019, he has been shaping his ultimate dream on the first floor of the historic building De Swaen on De Lind in Oisterwijk: his own restaurant where every detail is just right.
In his fine dining restaurant – awarded one Michelin star in 2022 – everything revolves around quality and genuine hospitality. On the ground floor, Wouter and his team run a second dining concept in a more approachable bistro style: that’s Alma Bodega.
Fine Dining is open for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday starting at 6:00 PM. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we also serve lunch, with reservations available between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM.
On Sundays, we are open for lunch only, with reservations available between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM.
Michelin-starred chef Wouter van Laarhoven feels very much at home in De Swaen’s historic venue. The chef and Malou Hagenaars, the restaurant’s hostess, offer their guests an unparalleled dining experience. Their ambition for Alma fine dining is to get Oisterwijk’s gourmet heart pumping again, as is fitting for De Lind’s majestic ambiance.
Head Chef Wouter wears his heart, not on his sleeve, but on every plate that leaves the kitchen. He explains: “Every dish has meaning and a story to tell. If you can present it elegantly, you can add meaning to your creation. I give my all to my dishes. I’m always evolving and will always have new stories to tell through my dishes.”
