The Biodiversity Interactive Open-source Library a.k.a. B.I.O. Library is our proprietary platform for documenting our ingredient research. The vision of our project is 'Research You Can Touch', made possible by a combination of viscerally interactive 3D models of the ingredients.

This innovative platform is a world-first in digitally recording edible ingredients. We have over 300+ ingredients in the library and are constantly adding new entries. In the long term, we hope to collaborate with global partners to connect with communities, contributors and build an online platform for professional research and discourse. The aim is also to provide more public access to the information through showcase displays and online portals.

For now, our B.I.O. Library installation at Locavore NXT provides a dynamic presentation of Indonesia’s edible biodiversity and takes guests on a journey through the origins of the ingredients used in the menu.

You can scroll, zoom, spin and fly through the 3D library of nature. Come and check it out for yourself.

A creative and innovative project between NXT and our collaborators, Digital Nativ and Agency X, who brought the idea to life in such an amazing way.

Locavore NXT takes our local ingredients philosophy further than we have ever gone before. It is a space we have built for creating, experimenting, collaborating, working closely with nature and – we hope – bringing the world of food one step closer to where it should be.

It’s a bit more than a restaurant. It’s a localised rebellion.

You can make a reservation at Locavore NXT for the full dining experience or check our website to find out more ways you can visit NXT, including upcoming events and programs.

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.

Guests can choose from a three and five-course for lunch only or seven-course tasting menu created by chef Arnaud, with a rice-based alcoholic beverage pairings or a seriously crafted non-alcoholic pairing.

Peggy's Brass Knuckles is currently taking a break due to relocation.
Stay tuned on our Instagram to find out when we're coming back.

Peggy’s Brass Knuckles is our restaurant done proper.

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.

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.

MAKE AN ORDER

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 and teas from Chontea.

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.
