By the Locavore NXT team
Locavore NXT serves one set tasting menu, called The Source 2.0: 14 courses at IDR 2,250,000++ per person. The tasting menu follows a 6-month research and development cycle, and each new season presents an entirely new set of dishes and Creative Beverage Pairings. There’s no à la carte. Everyone at the table eats the same progression, and it runs about three to three and a half hours.

What is on the Locavore NXT tasting menu?
The Source 2.0 is built entirely from ingredients found around the NXT gardens and Rooftop Food Forest, with some foraged across the island by our in-house foraging team, and many are found across Indonesia through local farmers and foragers who share the same values with us around sustainability and quality. The kitchen sticks to a few firm rules: no imports, no dairy, no wheat, less animal protein and as close to zero-waste as we can get (currently running a 98% waste-free kitchen).
How much does the Locavore NXT tasting menu cost?
The Source 2.0 is IDR 2,250,000++ per person. The Creative Beverage Pairing, made with the same local, foraged and fermented ingredients as the food, is IDR 950,000++ with alcohol or IDR 750,000++ for the non-alcoholic (or very low-ABV) version. The ++ is tax and service on top.
You add a credit card to secure the table when you book, and any drinks beyond the pairing are added on the night. Prices are confirmed at checkout, so the booking page always shows the current figure.

How long does the dining experience take?
Plan for three to three and a half hours at Locavore NXT. The tasting menu consists of 14 courses and they arrive one at a time, so the meal is meant to be the evening, not slotted in before something else. We’d keep the rest of the night clear.
Dinner seatings begin between 17:30 and 20:30, with lunch service available on Thursday to Saturday from 12:00 to 13:30.
What should you wear to Locavore NXT?
There’s no formal dress code and no jacket required. Ubud is warm and humid all year, so most guests wear something smart but breathable.
Can the menu be adapted for dietary needs?
With advance notice, most needs can be handled. Flag allergies and preferences when you book, not on the night, since each menu is planned ahead for the whole table, so the kitchen needs to know in advance rather than on the night. It’s good to note that our kitchen already cooks without dairy or wheat and with little animal protein.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Creative Beverage Pairing optional?
Yes. The pairing is optional but recommended, and it is made with the same local, foraged and fermented ingredients as the food. It is IDR 950,000++ with alcohol or IDR 750,000++ for the non-alcoholic (or very low-ABV) version, and any drinks beyond the pairing are added to your bill on the night.
What does the ++ mean at Locavore NXT?
It means tax and service are added on top of the listed price, so IDR 2,250,000++ is not the final figure. You add a credit card to secure the table when you book rather than paying for the menu upfront, and the bill is settled on the night.
Can you have the tasting menu at lunch?
Yes. Lunch and dinner serve the same tasting menu, though the dining experience differs between the two. Lunch service runs Thursday to Saturday from 12:00 to 13:30, and dinner seatings begin between 17:30 and 20:30. Either way, plan for three to three and a half hours at Locavore NXT.
How often does the Locavore NXT menu change?
The menu changes every 6 months, following a research and development cycle that brings an entirely new set of dishes and Creative Beverage Pairings each time. The current menu is The Source 2.0, with 14 courses made completely with ingredients that grow in Indonesia.
Can you celebrate a birthday or anniversary at Locavore NXT?
Yes. Mention the occasion when you book, along with any allergies or dietary needs, so the team can plan ahead. Because the menu is set and planned for the whole table, anything you would like arranged is far easier to handle in advance than on the night.
