Nudibranch, born as a pop-up venture during the constraints of 2021, has since evolved into a permanent culinary haven, thanks to the genuine camaraderie and support of friends, chefs, and fellow restaurant owners. The name “nudibranch” finds its origin in a scuba diving expedition around Indonesia’s islands, where vibrant and diverse sea slugs of the same name were discovered, becoming a symbolic representation of the restaurant’s ethos.
