Video: Locavore The Best Restaurant in Indonesia

This is what a meal looks like at restaurant Locavore. When we visited Ubud in Bali, Locavore was ranked The Best Restaurant in Indonesia and no. 42 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. Chef Ray Adriansyah has created two unique menus – herbivore and locavore. Of course, we had to try them both! As the name implies, Locavore is all about using local Indonesian ingredients, and they even won an award for being the most sustainable restaurant in Asia. This summer, Locavore is closing its current venue and reopening as Locavore Next, in a new location just outside of Ubud. We can’t wait to revisit!
