Restaurant Nusantara by Locavore Authentic Indonesian Restaurant serving traditional dishes from around the Indonesia Archipelago Restaurant Nusantara is a spin-off from Restaurant Locavore

Nusantara is Indonesian for ‘archipelago’ -- the thousands of diverse and remarkable islands that make up the country of Indonesia. We are an authentic Indonesian restaurant, offering a unique version of our country’s rich culinary heritage. Our menu focuses on authentic, original flavours from across the Indonesian archipelago to present a fresh look at this nation’s regional cuisines. In keeping with our philosophy, our kitchen uses only fresh, seasonal Indonesian ingredients.

In North Kalimantan, 'babi rebung' is traditionally seasoned pork prepared by stuffing it in a hollowed bamboo shoot before cooking over an open fire. The result is a tender and full flavoured dish, with an earthiness and smokiness from the wood-fired bamboo.

We like our Babi Rebung to be marinated with chillies, garlic, shallot, galangal, ginger, torch ginger, grated coconut, papaya and cassava leaf, ready for the ritualistic cooking to begin.

Rooted in the ancient culinary traditions of Southeast Asia, gulai is a deeply spiced, coconut-based stew long celebrated across Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. Nowhere is this technique more iconic than in West Sumatra, where it forms the soulful backbone of Minangkabau cuisine throughout the Padang region and the Minangkabau Highlands.

Drawing directly from this vibrant regional heritage, our Gulai Terong brings those traditional flavors to the forefront. Tender eggplant is slowly braised in a rich, velvety coconut milk broth infused with shallot, garlic, fresh chillies, ginger, and glowing yellow turmeric. Elevated by the aromatic lift of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaf, the dish is finished with scattered pete (stinky bean) for an unmistakable, deeply savory punch.

Sambal Beberuk originates from Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, and is known for featuring the textures of long bean and round eggplant.

Round eggplants are a common vegetable across Southeast Asia with it's crunchy texture and slightly sweet juices. We marry that with the long bean, chillies, shrimp paste, palm sugar, kaffir lime mixed into a colourful medley of flavours and textures.

Almost a ritual in itself – the iconic ice tea. Barely does a meal in Indonesia go by without a glass of it next to your plate. It's especially refreshing when you’re enjoying the heat of eating sambals.

Our Es Teh Hijau (literally means ‘green iced tea’) combines green tea with fresh lemongrass, mint leaves, lemongrass syrup and fresh lime wedges.

A refreshing gulp to quench your thirst and refresh the palette for the next plate.

Cemcem is a unique leaf native to Bali and the key ingredient found in the popular Jamu drink ‘loloh cemcem’. Often mixed together with spices commonly found in a ‘rujak’ salad to create a sour, spicy yet sweet drink.

In our complimentary Snack Wheel, these flavours are captured in the Rujak Cemcem using the leaf itself. Sliced into strips and seasoned with shrimp paste, chilli and sea salt, it’s crisp and refreshing while tangy and spicy.

Ayam Panggang Sambal Lumut; our bamboo skewers of free range chicken legs, marinated in turmeric, galangal, palm sugar, clove, nutmeg, kaffir lime leaf and coriander seed.

A sweet and savoury combination, with added smokiness from the wood fire.

Delicious with almost any sambal, we like to pair it with the tang of sambal Lumut - green chillies smashed with green tomatoes give a soft heat and is a very dip-able condiment.

Temulawak is a plant native to Java, also known as Javanese turmeric for its bright yellow pigment. With medicinal properties, temulawak is known to help arthritis, indigestion, skin and heart problems, among others.

We use this colourful spice in Temulawak Soda, which we carbonated into a cordial and mixed into a bubbly cocktail with andaliman-infused arak.
