The Myriad of Tastes of Indonesia at NUSANTARA BY LOCAVORE

Spice

Collecting authentic, original recipes from many different regions in Indonesia, Nusantara by Locavore offers a tantalising diversity of dishes with an abundance of flavours. The restaurant itself is cosy and designed to make you feel at home, as if you’re in your own dining area.
