What is it? A soulful celebration of Indonesia’s culinary heritage, brought to life by the team behind the acclaimed Locavore. While Locavore NXT leans towards experimentation, Nusantara stays grounded in comfort food, but executed with surgical precision and a chef’s obsessive love for local produce. The name means “archipelago,” and the menu reads like a love letter to the country’s regional cuisines.
Why we love it: Because it reminds you just how rich and diverse Indonesian food really is. Executive chef Eelke Plasmeijer brings the same ethos from Locavore – sustainability, seasonality, and zero waste – but filters it through dishes that feel more intimate and familiar.
Time Out tip: Don’t sleep on the sambals: there’s a whole line-up, each one complex, fiery and addictive. Ask your server to guide you through them – it’s half the fun.
