Reservations

Locavore NXT doesn't accept walk-ins, so you need to plan your visit here because securing a table is difficult. You can make a booking directly on their website and, if you can get a table, get ready for the most mind-blowing dinner (or lunch) in Bali.

Welcoming Service

From the get-go, you'll be greeted with the choice of a warm and cool towel before another staff member ushers you to the so-called lobby. Then, you'll be served a welcome drink and snack with a small card explaining the concept. Before heading to the main restaurant, you'll be taken on a short tour of Locavore NXT, including their Mushroom Chamber with a 3D BIO Library.

First Impression

Impressive is not a significant enough word to describe Locavore NXT as this is the only Indonesian restaurant taking sustainability to the next level. The high ceilings, the Food Forest on the way to the main building, the welcome snacks and drinks, and the short tour are carefully planned and executed perfectly by the team members. The anticipation is high even before they bring out the first course!

Why do we choose Locavore NXT?

Saying that Locavore NXT has looked to revolutionise the dining experience in Bali is an understatement because they are more than just the flavour of the creative cuisine presented on the set menu. By committing to only using locally seasonal ingredients, which means they have to be creative in creating and adapting to what's available, Locavore NXT confidently propels itself as among the best of Indonesia's top restaurants.

With the Wood Rooms steadily making waves, it surely won't be long before Locavore NXT becomes an icon of the dining scene in Bali that people will remember for years to come.

We cannot recommend this place enough (if you can secure a table), as each dish at Locavore NXT will stay with you long after you leave the restaurant. Locavore NXT is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one you will talk about over and over again. Don't blame us if you immediately make a reservation for your next visit.

    An unforgettable end-to-end experience. Every detail is painstakingly designed to inspire and delight - from the narrow vine-lined driveway and stunning industrial architecture, to the thoughtful curation of Indonesian antiques contrasted against futuristic computer displays and quirky contemporary art. The service is outstanding (warmth and smiles all around), lighting and music are perfect (think Radiohead, Beach House, etc) and the food is simply superb, taking you on a journey of innovative local flavors across 20 courses and 10 beverages.

    Locavore NXT really is the next level. We thought we had tasted a lot, but we are pleasantly surprised by the many flavours that the archipelago has to offer and that Locavore NXT uses to create impressive dishes and matching drinks. All from their own gardens or locally produced. The architecture, design and views of the restaurant alone are more than worth a visit. Plus, the whole building and food chain is sustainable!

    Visiting Locavore NXT was a once in a lifetime experience for me and it did not disappoint. The entire evening from start to finish was absolutely beautiful and mindblowing. The building itself is breathtaking with such attention to detail in the creative architecture, and how it is designed to curate such a specific and wonderful experience for the guest. In fact, much of the food you are eating at locavore is grown, researched and cultivated onsite!

Hi everyone! My name is Catur, and I was born and raised in Central Java. I moved to Bali in 2011 but left the island in 2016 before returning in 2018. Bali feels more than a home to me, and maybe that’s why my name feels like a premonition. Catur means four, both in the Balinese and Javanese languages. It is spoken like ‘c’ in chess, which is also the meaning of my name in Indonesian.
