The Punch Gala & Awards Ceremony 2024: A Celebration of Bali’s Changemakers at Locavore NXT

Shared Habitat

NXT is ‘more than a restaurant’ it’s a destination of nature-inspired creativity, sustainability, and a beacon for a localised rebellion to fuel the global rethink.

The incredible natural world we share instinctively ‘knows what to do’ in harmony with their habitat and environment. NXT follows this direction provided by nature, and it becomes our compass and guide. We seek to disrupt humanity's current trajectory of imbalance and return to the natural world as a guide to our decisions, actions, and partnerships.

On 28th November 2024, we are launching a completely new tasting menu, ‘Nature’s Compass’–the latest expression of our commitment to working creatively with nature, featuring newly curated experiences and artworks in our space.

A completely new tasting menu featuring newly curated experiences and artworks in our space opens on 28th November.

Nature's Compass

10 chefs from Asia's leading creative restaurants are gathering in Bali to explore local ingredients and its unlimited possibilities. For four days, they will go on an adventure to do foraging and sharing cooking techniques and inspirations. On the final day, at Locavore NXT they will come up with an unpredictable, one-night-only dinner. A mysterious Black Box will be unveiled by the chefs, filled with local ingredients – some exciting, some a bit unexpected. By lottery, these experienced chefs will pair up into duos and each duo will create their own snack and main course, using the ingredients from the box.

It’s a night of creative culinary surprises – even for the chefs.

Like-minded chefs across Asia are gathering at Locavore NXT to share, explore, connect... and take on a creative culinary challenge.



The group of tastemakers will spend several days together exploring local ingredients, sharing culinary techniques, stepping into the wild for foraging trips and connecting over their common passion for doing things differently.

But, on the final day, they're going head to head in a clash of competitive innovation with a 'mystery box of ingredients' challenge.

We're opening on Sunday 12 May for a one-off dinner featuring off-the-cuff creations from the chefs, who will have only the morning to develop and prepare new dishes for a very unique tasting menu experience.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to our partners at Sumba Hospitality School to give a new generation a helping hand in their careers.

VIEW THE MENU

Our vision is to present a rich, deeply passionate showcase of traditional Indonesian cuisine in a contemporary experience that reflects the developing and creative nature of Indonesian culture.

Nusantara means archipelago in bahasa Indonesia and with an estimated over 17,000 islands, 1,300 tribes, 300 local languages, 3,000 cuisines, its diversity is what makes the country.

Our Nusantara is an ethno-culinary portrait of the country. Yet we represent more than just the food itself – also the local ingredients, cooking techniques, serving style and rituals that all make up the heritage and culinary culture.

Our menus cover certain regions of Indonesia, where some of the strongest recipes and culinary inspirations originate. Many of our dishes are lesser-known, very local, and often not commonly found outside of those regions. Key to this is our ongoing research in discovering lost recipes, techniques, and dishes that have been forgotten or no longer practiced. Our team is bringing these back to life.

As the sister restaurant to Locavore NXT, Nusantara benefits from the same supply chains of very high-quality ingredients, organic and heritage produce, support for local farmers, and of course, only Indonesian ingredients.

Above our restaurant is a private dining space that was once Locavore’s food laboratory and test kitchen. This space is now available to book for dinner for parties of 8-12 people, where you can enjoy the Nusantara set menu as an intimate dining experience in a room rich with culinary history.

Every Wednesday to Sunday our chef Adi teaches the craft of authentic Indonesian dishes. The itinerary and menu can be customised to provide a personal experience, whether it's for yourself or as a special gift for someone else.

Peggy’s Brass Knuckles is our restaurant done proper in Jakarta.

Real chefs, real produce, and really sharp knives. Peggy’s is our idea of a proper restaurant, where we make dishes that we love cooking and want to eat ourselves, with decent drinks too.

Peggy’s is also more than just a proper restaurant. We have an onsite butcher’s shop and bakery, with a retail space that sells some of the ingredients we make ourselves. Plus a cafe that makes a good cup of coffee, and a bar with our favourite locally brewed craft beers on tap.

As with all restaurants by Locavore, all our ingredients are only sourced locally except for our extended beverage list, which features a curated mix of imported wines and spirits. It’s important for us to stick to only using food that can be found around us, even if that means going the extra mile in the kitchen. Better in here than out there.

SHOP ONLINE

Peggy's Grocery is the grocery shop of Peggy's Brass Knuckles – our restaurant done proper in Jakarta.

A big part of the fun that our chefs have at Peggy's Brass Knuckles is finding the best local ingredients in Indonesia to feature on the restaurant menu, and making anything we can't find (but really, really want) ourselves.

Peggy's Grocery is where we get to share all the tasty things we discovered or created, and you get to take them home and enjoy some proper good food in your own kitchen.

We live next door to the restaurant with an onsite butchers, bakery and retail space for all the ingredients that we make ourselves, along with some tasty things our friends make too. Plus a café that makes a good cup of coffee, and a bar with our favourite locally brewed craft beers on tap. 

Pop in to have a look and enjoy a drink, or order online and have everything you want delivered.

LabX is our creative playground at Locavore NXT. It's our dedicated food laboratory and testing kitchen for culinary research and development... the space for all our new culinary innovations to begin. 

Our R&D team is constantly experimenting with local ingredients to discover new tastes, techniques and, ultimately, recipes that will feature on the tasting menu and beverage menu at NXT. Some of the breakthroughs in LabX might also make it into our range of food products sold in the Design Store.

When Locavore chefs Eelke and Ray want a break from the culinary high-craft of their tasting menu, they sit down and enjoy a damn-fine sandwich, burger, or coffee from their ‘cafe’ Locavore To Go.

The cafe is a casual off-shoot of their ideas and passions. Using many of their own produce from their adjacent butcher shop, Local Parts, the menu highlights span from the famous Burger à la Ray to classic sandwiches, charcuterie platters, and daily changing comfort food.

Ever wanted to pick an item to be cooked from the butcher shop but not have to cook it yourself? Just point at the butcher showcase chiller, take a seat, and we will cook it for you.

Coffee and drinks are also up to scratch with beans from local roastery Hungry Bird.

Locavore To Go

Local Parts

WHATSAPP ORDER

When chefs demand to go meet the farms, make relationships, and ensure the product is ethical and very high quality, you result in a great network of farmers and craft food suppliers. Whilst the team supports a balanced approach to eating meat, they do want the best from the meats that they use. It made total sense to help others have that opportunity too, so they opened their own Butcher Shop using only ethical, locally raised, and high-quality meats.

Local Parts is also a specialist in charcuterie and has perfected its own interpretation of classics using local meats – along with a large range of pickles, sauces, rubs, and other packaged goods for you to boost your own home cooking experiences.

Here you'll also find the ‘best of’ local partners such as Braud sourdough, 8 Degrees Cheese, and local salts.
