If you've already been to Locavore and still have an image of its unique flavors and concept, you definitely need to try the “next level” version: Locavore NXT in Lodtunduh, Ubud. The place is a little bit hidden, but once you enter, the vibe is awesome — calm, earthy, and you really feel that this is no ordinary restaurant. They literally have their own food lab, mini garden, and even a fermentation room to make super creative ingredients. Everything they serve is the result of their own research, and it's all authentically local, but with a great modern twist.

Our experts experience from Locavore NXT

Reservation

It is highly recommended to make reservations in advance through their official website at locavorenxt.com or via WhatsApp. Given the limited capacity and high demand (especially on weekends), booking in advance is a wise choice. The whole process is easy and quick, too!

Parking

There is sufficient parking available on-site, including a convenient drop-off area. You can come with your own vehicle without worrying about parking issues.

Service

One thing that immediately strikes us from the moment we walk into Locavore NXT is how the staff treats guests like old friends returning for a visit. The service team has an in-depth knowledge of every element on the menu, even down to the origin of the ingredients and cooking techniques. They not only deliver the food to the table, but also tell stories, engage in casual conversation, and make the dining experience more memorable.

Why Do We Choose Locavore NXT

We love that Locavore NXT is a playground for super creative people who are passionate about local ingredients. We like the fact that they don't just make good food, but really explore it — fermenting it themselves, harvesting it themselves, and creating menus from things that we wouldn't expect to become fine dining dishes. You can also experience something that you won't find anywhere else (like chili sauce made from young moth leaves or ice cream made from fermented mushrooms). Sounds weird, we agree. But when you try it, it's mind-blowing!

This restaurant is truly extraordinary! The setting is stunning, the concept is unlike anything else, the staff are both passionate and fascinating, and the food is, of course, outstanding. Special thanks as well to the owner for the warm and genuine hospitality. An exceptional experience that should not be missed.

If you’re a true foodie, Locavore NXT is simply a destination you cannot miss. We chose The Full NXT Experience, and it was, without question, the culinary highlight of our trip to Bali. In fact, it ranks among the most extraordinary dining experiences we have ever had. From the moment you arrive, every detail reflects passion, craftsmanship and genuine hospitality. The service is warm, attentive and flawlessly executed, while the cuisine is bold, innovative and deeply rooted in Indonesia’s incredible biodiversity. The 16-course tasting menu is a journey of constant discovery. Every course is unique, beautifully balanced and tells its own story. What makes it even more impressive is that the ingredients are sourced exclusively from Indonesia—many grown on-site or supplied by carefully selected local producers. Their expertise in fermentation, mushroom cultivation and distillation creates flavours unlike anything we have experienced before. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic pairings deserve special recognition. They are not an afterthought, but an essential part of the experience, showcasing unique Indonesian flavours with remarkable creativity and precision. One of the greatest highlights of The Full NXT Experience is the exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the Fermentation Lab, Distillery Lab and Mushroom Lab. These private tours reveal the research, experimentation and craftsmanship behind every ingredient and every dish. They transform an outstanding dinner into a truly immersive experience and give you an even deeper appreciation of the vision and dedication of the entire team. Our advice: don’t just book the tasting menu—book The Full NXT Experience. From the beautiful overnight stay and the exclusive lab tours to one of the finest dining experiences we’ve ever had, it offers a level of immersion that makes every moment unforgettable. Locavore NXT is a perfect example of how sustainability, innovation and world-class gastronomy can come together to create something truly exceptional. In our opinion, this experience is 100% Michelin-star worthy. Every aspect—from the creativity of the cuisine and the impeccable service to the storytelling and flawless execution—reflects the level of excellence you would expect from one of the world’s finest restaurants. Thank you to the entire team for creating such an inspiring and unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back.

It\'s hard to describe how mind-blowing our visit to Locavore NXT was. The actual dinner was beyond expectations, leaving us feeling like we\'d fallen down Alice\'s rabbit hole to Wonderland, with so many different serving locations and original bites throughout the dinner, and sustainability a throughline that motivated every part of the meal. We actually did the \"Full Experience\" with an overnight stay along with the full tasting menu at dinner, generous Indonesian breakfast, and \"backstage\" tour before setting off the next morning. The thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic/low ABV beverage pairing was particularly impressive and everything from the charming jungle cabin to our morning coffee cupping added to the overall experience. Don\'t ask questions, just get on a plane to Bali and book your dinner here!

Hi, Anastasia here! I was born and raised in Bali, which means I’ve basically been island-hopping, waterfall-chasing, and café-hunting since forever. Over the years, I’ve reviewed more than 185 places — focusing on nature spots like secret beaches, scenic trails, and cultural corners, while also keeping up with the latest restaurants, cafés, and beach clubs. Through OnBali, I share real, first-hand insights to help you explore Bali like a local and discover the kind of places that don’t always make it onto Instagram.
