MAKE A RESERVATION

Locavore NXT opens in December 2023 and will take our local ingredients philosophy further than we have ever gone before. It is a space we have built for creating, experimenting, collaborating, working closely with nature and – we hope – bringing the world of food one step closer to where it should be.

It’s a bit more than a restaurant. It’s a localised rebellion.

You can make a reservation at Locavore NXT for the full dining experience or check our website to find out more ways you can visit NXT, including upcoming events and programs.

RESERVATIONS

Locavore was our small restaurant in Ubud where it all began back in 2013. There we served modern, creative cuisine through tasting menus that were completely updated every 4 months, with the core concept of celebrating – and exclusively working with – local ingredients.

Locavore was Indonesia’s only restaurant to be ranked in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants five years in a row, with their highest ranking being #21 in all of Asia. We were also previously awarded the coveted Most Sustainable Restaurant Award by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Locavore has now closed to make way for Locavore NXT.

Our vision is to present a rich, deeply passionate showcase of traditional Indonesian cuisine in a contemporary experience that reflects the developing and creative nature of Indonesian culture.

Nusantara means archipelago in bahasa Indonesia and with an estimated over 17,000 islands, 1,300 tribes, 300 local languages, 3,000 cuisines, its diversity is what makes the country.

Our Nusantara is an ethno-culinary portrait of the country. Yet we represent more than just the food itself – also the local ingredients, cooking techniques, serving style and rituals that all make up the heritage and culinary culture.

Our menus cover certain regions of Indonesia, where some of the strongest recipes and culinary inspirations originate. Many of our dishes are lesser-known, very local, and often not commonly found outside of those regions. Key to this is our ongoing research in discovering lost recipes, techniques, and dishes that have been forgotten or no longer practiced. Our team is bringing these back to life.

As the sister restaurant to Locavore NXT, Nusantara benefits from the same supply chains of very high-quality ingredients, organic and heritage produce, support for local farmers, and of course, only Indonesian ingredients.

Locavore moved out. Nature took over. Then the Herbivores came along.

Herbivore is a vegetation takeover of Locavore’s original restaurant venue in downtown Ubud, opening this December.

Local plants run rampant across seasonal tasting menus to provide a wildly different “all flora, no fauna” experience of our local-ingredients-only philosophy.

Guests can choose from a five (lunch only) or seven course tasting menu created by chef Arnaud, with a rice-based alcoholic beverage pairings or a seriously crafted non-alcoholic pairing.

Peggy’s Brass Knuckles is our restaurant done proper in Jakarta, opening January 2024.

Real chefs, real produce, and really sharp knives. Peggy’s is our idea of a proper restaurant, where we make dishes that we love cooking and want to eat ourselves, with decent drinks too.

Peggy’s is also more than just a proper restaurant. We have an onsite butcher’s shop and bakery, with a retail space that sells some of the ingredients we make ourselves. Plus a cafe that makes a good cup of coffee, and a bar with our favourite locally brewed craft beers on tap.

As with all restaurants by Locavore, all our ingredients are only sourced locally except for our extended beverage list, which features a curated mix of imported wines and spirits. It’s important for us to stick to only using food that can be found around us, even if that means going the extra mile in the kitchen. Better in here than out there.

Check out our IG for more information and opening updates.

LabX is our creative playground at Locavore NXT. It's our dedicated food laboratory and testing kitchen for culinary research and development... the space for all our new culinary innovations to begin. 

Our R&D team is constantly experimenting with local ingredients to discover new tastes, techniques and, ultimately, recipes that will feature on the tasting menu and beverage menu at NXT. Some of the breakthroughs in LabX might also make it into our range of food products sold in the Concept Shop.

MAKE AN ORDER

When Locavore chefs Eelke and Ray want a break from the culinary high-craft of their tasting menu, they sit down and enjoy a damn-fine sandwich, burger, or coffee from their ‘cafe’ Locavore To Go.

The cafe is a casual off-shoot of their ideas and passions. Using many of their own produce from their adjacent butcher shop, Local Parts, the menu highlights span from the famous Burger à la Ray to classic sandwiches, charcuterie platters, and daily changing comfort food.

Ever wanted to pick an item to be cooked from the butcher shop but not have to cook it yourself? Just point at the butcher showcase chiller, take a seat, and we will cook it for you.

Coffee and drinks are also up to scratch with beans from local roastery Hungry Bird.

When chefs demand to go meet the farms, make relationships, and ensure the product is ethical and very high quality, you result in a great network of farmers and craft food suppliers. Whilst the team supports a balanced approach to eating meat, they do want the best from the meats that they use. It made total sense to help others have that opportunity too, so they opened their own Butcher Shop using only ethical, locally raised, and high-quality meats.

Local Parts is also a specialist in charcuterie and has perfected its own interpretation of classics using local meats – along with a large range of pickles, sauces, rubs, and other packaged goods for you to boost your own home cooking experiences.

Here you'll also find the ‘best of’ local partners such as Braud sourdough, 8 Degrees Cheese, and local salts.
