Locavore NXT

Rising from the lush rural contours of Lodtunduh just south of central Ubud, Locavore NXT represents the fearless next evolution of Indonesia's most celebrated culinary innovators, Chefs Eelke Plasmeijer and Ray Adriansyah. Housed within a visionary rammed-earth and reclaimed-timber complex surrounded by permaculture gardens, mushroom growing rooms, and fermentation labs, the venue reimagines fine dining as an immersive sensory journey into the terroir of the Indonesian archipelago. The soaring, minimalist dining hall connects diners directly to the hearth kitchen, where open flames and artisanal clay vessels transform hyper-local botanicals and heritage flora into edible art.

The culinary narrative unfolds across an ambitious multi-course tasting menu that completely eschews imported ingredients in favor of indigenous crops, wild forest flora, and house-fermented garums. Standout compositions include black rice koji paired with warm smoked coconut, heirloom river vegetables kissed by charcoal, and succulent wood-fired wild boar glazed with house-aged native honey. Complement each progression with their groundbreaking non-alcoholic beverage pairings made from wild botanical infusions, or cellar-selected natural wines. Booking weeks in advance is essential for this landmark culinary destination.
