#1 on Bali's Top 10 — Ubud
Locavore
A tasting-menu restaurant built entirely around Indonesian ingredients, repeatedly ranked among Asia's best
Locavore has spent over a decade on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, and the reason isn't fusion gimmickry — it's a genuine, obsessive commitment to sourcing Indonesian ingredients and building a multi-course tasting menu around what's actually available, season by season. This is the restaurant most likely to change how you think about Indonesian food.
What to expect
A long tasting menu (typically 10+ courses), each one built around a specific Indonesian ingredient or technique — often things you won't recognize by name, explained course by course by the staff. It's a multi-hour commitment, not a quick dinner.
Booking
Reservations fill up genuinely far in advance, especially for dinner — this is not a walk-in restaurant. Book as early as your travel dates allow, ideally weeks ahead.
Practical tips
- —Book well ahead — weeks, not days, especially for evening slots.
- —Come hungry and with time — this is a multi-hour tasting menu, not a quick meal.
- —Mention any dietary restrictions when booking, not on arrival — the tasting menu is built to a script.
