Book NowAbout Herbivore by Locavore Group
Herbivore strips away standard fine dining tropes to build multi-course tasting menus out of native Indonesian harvest. Front-row counter seats put diners right against the open kitchen, watching the pass dish out 14 courses of flora without a scrap of meat in the room. Guests frequently talk about the balance across each course—dishes like BBQ tempe dusted with andaliman pepper, rich shiitake bowls, and roasted watermelon. The drinks step outside standard cellar selections, pairing each round with house ferments, infused arak, and a dry burnt lime brew. Head chef Arnaud often steps to the counter to introduce the final sweets himself.
- Culinary Theater: Bar seating faces an open kitchen where chefs plate and introduce a multi-course, plant-only tasting menu.
- Hyper-Local Flora: Courses rely entirely on Indonesian flora, wild harvest, and regional produce with zero imported proteins.
- Inventive Ferment Pairings: Tasting menus pair with house-crafted ferments, infused arak, and non-alcoholic brews instead of standard wine lists.
- Dietary Confidence: The kitchen naturally accommodates vegan diets and allergies with zero anxiety over animal fats or cross-contamination.
