Hidden in the green hills just outside Labuan Bajo, Dapur Tara offers you a rare opportunity to taste authentic tribal cuisine, learn from indigenous food traditions, and connect deeply with nature — all in just one afternoon.Led by Kak Liz, a cultural bridge between Flores’ tribal wisdom and modern hospitality, this immersive experience takes you through her lush ecological garden, introduces you to ancient herbal practices, and ends with a feast that is as soulful as it is delicious.If you're looking to go beyond the typical tourist route and truly feel Flores — its flavours, its people, its land — this is your invitations.What to Expect:A Lush Organic Garden TourStart your journey by walking barefoot (if you like) through a vibrant garden full of medicinal plants, herbs, and fruit trees. Learn how every leaf, root, and flower plays a role in Flores’ traditional cuisine and healing.A Private Tribal FeastYou'll enjoy a lunch menu rooted in ancestral recipes, slow-cooked over wood fire, and beautifully presented in an open-air bamboo restaurant. This is not a buffet — it’s a carefully crafted culinary ritual.Herbal Arak TastingYou’ll conclude with a tasting of three types of traditional Herbal Moke (arak), infused with fresh-picked herbs.
