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!

A Multisensory Journey Through Local Character and Space The full experience with Locavore Nxt is nothing i have seen before - you get to stay with them overnight in this cosy cabin with so much free stuff from snacks, kombuchas, homemade wine, chocolate and fresh fruits. After settling in I got ready for dinner and wow, the dining experience was so unique and dishes were exquisite. From the moment you step through the doors, it becomes clear that this is not merely a dinner—it is an immersion into the landscape surrounding you. The restaurant’s devotion to hyper locality is really the wow factor of every course, drink, and sensory touchpoint. The heart of the restaurant beats within its dedicated kitchen labs-a series of visible hubs that does in-house fermentation, mushroom cultivation and beverage making, and yes they do tons of in house alcohol and creative non alcohol beverages. Virtually every element on the plate / glass is crafted from scratch on-site, how cool is that?! The progressive structure of the meal elevates the evening into a living narrative. Rather than remaining seated at a single table, the experience leads you through distinct environments within the space - from basement to rooftop. Flavor-wise, every single bite is an explosion on the palate. Balanced and sometimes intense umami, but the undeniable signature of the evening for me is the subtle, breathtaking integration of flowers like Jasmine, i just enjoyed this so much. Far from feeling perfumed or overpowering, these floral elements lend a light, lifted dimension that linger long after each bite. As for the service, my gosh the crew went above and beyond to accomodate my small requests like a late check out and a free scoby as am sucker for Kombucha :) For anyone seeking a meal that pushes the boundaries of hyper-regional sourcing, spatial storytelling, and bold flavor design, this is an unforgettable triumph of modern dining. Best dining experince (plus more) so far for this year for sure.

As a private guide , i am waiting for my guest , i am very dissapointed , waiting area for guide or driver is un acceptable for such a nice upper class restaurant dining , Some of us can actually afford to have dinner here, i can afford it ! , i was using the coffee waiting area to sit for about 10 minutes, as i was trying to locate restroom , after using the restroom , i actually sat down at your coffee area 10 minutes or so I understand the privacy not to disturb guest , as you can see the area was empty , i was just taking a few minutes sitting down and security ask me to leave. This is hillarious , as i am a human being , got the right just to sit there for a minute or 2 Your waiting area for guide is also unacceptable I am just saying - you should not treat people like that , well it happen, and the word will spread around Such a shame as the place is nice but the treat to driver while waiting just for 10 minutes in the area was forbidden I can afford it - i just dont like the way you treat a guide Everybody is a human being - you should treat all with equal respect - otherwise its useless to open this restaurant ! This google review will stay and people will prove it them self Fix the management please 🙏 TREAT ALL EQUALLY

We had a fantastic experience at Locavore NXT. I can only compare it to 3-Michelin star restaurants around the world, but the atmosphere is much more down-to-Earth, hidden in a beautiful, lush green place. This place has a soul and will show you the real taste of Bali and the area in an artful way. Thank you and congratulations to the entire team and respect for your expertise, enthusiasm and devotion!💚

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.
