This month, we’re shining the spotlight on our retainer client, Locavore NXT, a culinary destination in Ubud redefining the relationship between food, nature, and sustainability. More than a restaurant, Locavore NXT represents a distinctive vision of progressive Indonesian gastronomy—built around hyper-local ingredients, seasonal cooking, and a deep connection to Indonesia’s natural resources, culture, and culinary heritage. Its approach extends beyond the plate, with its own food forest, fermentation lab, and mushroom-growing facilities contributing to an immersive dining experience rooted in sustainability.

The concept has earned significant international recognition. At Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, Locavore NXT received the Sustainable Restaurant Award, recognising its commitment to responsible and innovative gastronomy. In 2026, it further strengthened its position on the regional culinary stage, ranking No. 44 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026, making it one of Indonesia’s highest-profile representatives on the list. The recognition reflects Locavore NXT’s growing role in showcasing Indonesian ingredients and culinary identity to an international audience.

For K-CASE Lawyer, advising Locavore NXT reflects the firm’s broader experience at the intersection of food, hospitality, lifestyle, and entertainment. The firm provides ongoing legal support across the restaurant’s business and operational needs, combining legal expertise with an understanding of the commercial and creative dynamics that define Indonesia’s increasingly sophisticated F&B and lifestyle industries.
