Restaurant Locavore
Description
Our non smoking restaurant serves modern,
contemporary European cuisine
using local, seasonal ingredients. Our chefs share a passion for crafting contemporary European cuisine from quality local ingredients. This concept is already popular in the west and, although it is still new to Indonesia where most chefs rely on expensive imported ingredients, we are proud to be amongst the first to introduce high-end and locally sourced cuisine to Indonesian kitchens. A great deal has been achieved in Locavore’ first year which we hope to build on in order to continue satisfying our guests and to continue the strides made in spreading this concept throughout the country.
We started working together in Jakarta over five years ago and gradually came to see that it just didn't make sense to cook with imported ingredients when we were surrounded by Indonesia's bounty. We think of ourselves as the catalysts between local producers and discriminating diners. Our ingredient-driven menu celebrates the farmers, fisherman and artisans we've met along our journey. By developing lasting relationships with local producers, we ensure you the freshest of chemical-free seasonal produce and ethically fed meat animals. And by supporting local farmers and artisans, Locavore is an authentic member of its community.
A reservation is strongly recommended, typically you should be able to secure a table 2-3 weeks ahead. Reservations can be made via our website (http://www.restaurantlocavore.com/) and our FB page (https://www.facebook.com/RestaurantLocavore).
Upon making a reservation via one of our two convenient online booking options you will receive a confirmation email to your inbox which will include a booking reference. 24 hours prior to your booking date you will receive an additional email asking you to reconfirm your booking along with instructions on how to do that. We realise many of our guests are busy enjoying their wonderful holidays in Bali or simply don’t have all day e-mail access but we do kindly request your attention on the booking emails. We are very thankful for the interest everyone has shown in Locavore but without a confirmed booking we will regrettably have to release the table to other guests.
Locavore is a small and cozy restaurant operated by a team of highly dedicated food enthusiasts whose primary goal is to ensure our guests savor their experience at Locavore while dining on artistically prepared, fresh and highly enjoyable dishes. Part of that process is to source 95% of our products locally and not to keep large stocks but rather to source as much of our products fresh on a daily basis. This, together with the fact that all of our dishes are prepared a la minute with only fresh produce, certainly leads to more strain on our team but absolutely allows us to achieve our stated goal of providing our guests with locally produced, fresh and delicious dishes.
We are and aim to continue being a fine dining establishment that focuses equal parts on the cuisine and on the experience.

Babi Guling in the snow... We tried very hard to bring some Bali with us to the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival. Not sure if somebody ever did this before but it felt pretty special! Slightly different experience (especially for Brian) turning a spit for 4 hours in temperatures below zero. But pretty happy with the result and for sure a 'bit' different then the dishes from the others:-)...
Our creative kitchen (or R&D space in popular language) is finally 100% up and running! Super happy of course...
