About Nusantara by Locavore Group

Ubud diners skip standard tourist staples for Nusantara’s pan-archipelago tasting feasts. The Locavore Group kitchen dives straight into regional heritage—starting with a complimentary snack tray alongside a dish legend mapping bites across the islands. From there, tables fill with shared plates: pacco tuna, spicy squid, and crisp gurame goreng tauco bathed in fermented soy bean sauce. Five varieties of house sambal let guests calibrate heat per bite. Pour a fermented heritage rice mocktail, share tender lamb curry and seasonal greens, and let attentive staff pace the courses.

  • Archipelago-Spanning Cuisine: Regional recipes span the entire Indonesian map, anchored by dishes like pacco tuna and whole deep-fried fish in fermented bean sauce.
  • Regional Snack Flight: Feasts open with a curated tray of complimentary bites and an educational guide explaining origins across the islands.
  • Expertly Guided Feasts: Attentive servers guide communal ordering across spice levels, small plates, and braised mains.
  • Innovative Botanical Drinks: Distinctive non-alcoholic pairings feature native botanicals and fermented heritage rice.
