Locavore NXT is a hyper-local restaurant hub inspired by nature, on Jalan A.A. Gede Rai in Lodtunduh, Ubud, launched in late 2023. Its tasting menu, The Source 2.0, uses ingredients foraged from Bali's jungles and farmlands or grown by the team, root to fruit and skin to seed, with vegetarian and vegan options on request and creative drink or earth-friendly wine pairings. An optional guided foraging trip can precede the meal, and the site also holds a fermentation kitchen, a research lab, a rooftop food forest and cabins called The Wood Rooms. Its own accolades page lists it at #44 in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026.
An island-sourced tasting menu — no imports, no dairy, no wheat.
Shelves of house ferments behind glass — the kitchen's engine room.
Had one of the most memorable meals of my life the other night at Locavore. From start to finish, every piece of the experience felt intentional.
Dining at Locavore and NXT was truly one of the best culinary experiences I've had in Indonesia. In my opinion, it's not only one of the best fine dining restaurants in Bali, but the best restaurant I've personally visited in Indonesia.
