The day before my visit, I learned about this restaurant through the locavore NXT dinner event and met the chef.The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxing, the sommelier is a gentleman and cool, the food is delicious, and the chef's personality is great. Due to my last-minute plans, I wasn't able to stay long, but next time I'd like to take a friend with me and relax.

Follow the high rating in google maps we visited this restaurant, but actually we were very disappointed! Very beautiful food presentation on a plate, but the food itself was simply not tasty! All dishes. Moreover, I had a stomach problem after this visit.

I’m at loss of words for this place. The service, food, presentation, cocktails, everything was just out of the world. Me and my husband were both treated with so much kindness from the time we entered the restaurant till we left. Special thanks to everyone who went above and beyond with their service and food. We tried the signature menu but had some food restrictions which the staff easily swapped with other dishes. By dessert time, we were so full to eat anything. The sweet staff prepared a birthday cake for my husband and packed the last confectionery dessert so we could eat in our hotel as we were very full.This restaurant deserves a Michelin star for their out of the world food and serve. We cannot wait to be back !!

This is my goto restaurant in Ubud where the food and service are consistent and of high quality.The interior is classic and elegant. The menu changes seasonally and the set menus are usually interesting. The food is always presented beautifully. Their wines are of good collection to pair with the food. Wine by the glass is always fresh tasting.Also have a visit to their bar. It is very nice.

Nusantara By Locavore

Nusantara, named after the Javanese word for “archipelago,” showcases the culinary diversity of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands. The Nusantara team skillfully presents this vast array of flavors in an elegant interior featuring light woods and rattan partitions, exuding the same style as Locavore. A team of Indonesian-born chefs prepares lesser-known regional dishes rooted in traditional flavor combinations. Each dish is marked with its origin, such as a small plate of smoked pork belly with fermented sambal from Kupang or a larger dish of mud crab marinated with ginger, sweet soy, and grated coconut from Samarinda. The beverage selection includes a variety of wines, but the iced teas and cocktails featuring pandan leaves and lemongrass are particularly appealing to locavore enthusiasts.
