In short
A tasting-menu restaurant in Lodtunduh, just south of Ubud, cooking almost entirely with Indonesian produce and explaining where it comes from. It is a long fine-dining meal; closed on Sundays.
Locavore NXT is a tasting-menu restaurant in Lodtunduh, a village a short drive south of central Ubud in Bali, run by chefs Eelke Plasmeijer and Ray Adriansyah. It cooks almost entirely with Indonesian produce and suits diners who want a long, explained meal about where Indonesian ingredients come from.
The address is Jl. A.A. Gede Rai, Gang Pura Panti Bija, Lodtunduh. It is too far to walk from the centre of Ubud, so book a car or a ride-hailing app both ways. The team behind it first made its name with Locavore in Ubud, and NXT is their current home.
The kitchen works on a forage-to-table model. The long menu, called The Source, has run to around 16 courses, and vegetarian and vegan versions are prepared on request. Before or during the meal, guests are shown the rooftop food forest that supplies ideas and some of the ingredients. Expect staff to explain the origin of each element as it arrives. A full dinner takes two to three hours.
Asia's 50 Best Restaurants ranked Locavore NXT No. 44 in its 2026 list, and Tatler Best Indonesia 2026 includes it. Asia's 50 Best lists the tasting menu from US$120. A December 2024 review priced the Nature's Compass menu at IDR 1,950,000++ with an alcoholic pairing at IDR 850,000++, so menu names and prices shift; confirm the current one when you book.
Dinner is served Monday to Saturday with seatings from 17:30 to 20:30. Lunch runs Thursday to Saturday, with seatings from 12:00 to 13:30. The restaurant is closed on Sunday. Reservations are essential. The booking calendar opens monthly and fills within a couple of days, so the team advises booking four to eight weeks ahead, ideally before you buy flights. July and August are the busiest months.
Because the set menu is planned in advance, mention allergies or a plant-based diet when you book. Lunch is the easier slot to get and leaves daylight for seeing the food forest. For bookings or questions, call +62 821 4495 6226.
Beyond the rooftop food forest, the building holds a fermentation lab and a mushroom fruiting chamber that supply many of the set-menu ingredients. The furniture and glassware are Indonesian-made too, in keeping with the rule that the whole meal comes from the archipelago.
