Plant-Based Cooking From Local Indonesian Ingredients
Herbivore by Locavore opened in December 2023 as a vegetation takeover of Locavore's original restaurant on Jl. Dewisita in downtown Ubud. The kitchen follows the Locavore group's local-ingredients-only philosophy with an "all flora, no fauna" approach: modern plant-based cuisine built on Indonesian produce, from well-known staples to lesser-known ingredients from the island.
The Menu
Head chef Arnaud Hauchon created the tasting menus. In Ubud, guests could choose three or five courses at lunch or a seven-course tasting menu, with a rice-based alcoholic pairing or a crafted non-alcoholic pairing.
Current Status
Herbivore is temporarily closed while it relocates. The restaurant shares news of its reopening on Instagram at @restaurantherbivore and takes inquiries at reservations@restaurantherbivore.com.
