Winner of Exquisite Awards 2025 – Best Modern Indonesian Restaurant – Spice by Blake
Since 2015, Spice has been a standout in Ubud’s dining scene. Now, it has rebranded as Spice by Blake, under the leadership of Chef Blake Thornley, who is also the chef and co-owner of Mozaic. This transformation injects fresh energy into the beloved eatery while staying true to its mission of celebrating the richness of Indonesian flavours through modern culinary expressions.
Set in a vibrant, contemporary space, Spice by Blake pays homage to the culinary heritage of the archipelago while introducing globally inspired reinterpretations of traditional dishes. Each plate is filled with bold flavours, seasonal produce, and sustainably sourced ingredients from local farmers and fishers.
Guests can expect elevated versions of familiar favourites, such as beef cheek slow-braised in Rendang spices and delicately cured kingfish paired with pomelo and zesty Rujak sauce. Playful reinventions also shine in dishes like BBQ baby back pork ribs with coconut and long beans, as well as black cod baked in banana leaves with spices, starfruit and tomato.
The bar experience is equally captivating. Award-winning mixologist Bili Wirawan brings his signature touch with spice-driven cocktails made from ingredients like jackfruit, coconut and snake fruit. Each drink is crafted to complement with the layered flavours of the kitchen, earning a reputation for some of the best cocktails in Ubud.
Whether you’re looking for a pre-dinner drink, a relaxed yet refined meal, or a late-night cocktail with a tropical twist, Spice by Blake offers an immersive culinary journey that showcases the very best of modern Indonesian cuisine.
