A spirited revival in the heart of Ubud, Spice by Blake brings Indonesian cuisine into a bold new era, where time-honoured flavours, inventive flair and vibrant cocktails come together in a deliciously modern dance.
In the cultural heart of Ubud, a bold new dining destination is making waves. Spice by Blake has officially reopened, marking an exciting new chapter for both the restaurant and Bali’s ever-evolving culinary landscape. Helmed by Chef Blake Thornley, co-owner of the celebrated Mozaic, this refreshed concept is a vibrant tribute to Indonesian flavours, delivered with modern finesse and an uncompromising dedication to quality.
The vision behind Spice by Blake is clear: to honour the soul of Indonesian cuisine while reimagining it through a global, contemporary lens. The result is a lively space where traditional ingredients and age-old recipes are transformed into creative, balanced and approachable dishes. From the first bite to the final sip, every element on the menu is thoughtfully crafted using seasonal, locally sourced produce, reinforcing a deep respect for sustainability and cultural heritage.
Guests can expect familiar favourites elevated with unexpected flair, like beef cheek slow-braised in rendang spices or delicately cured kingfish paired with pomelo and a punchy rujak sauce. The menu dives deep into the rich flavours of the archipelago while embracing playful reinvention, as seen in dishes like the BBQ baby back pork ribs served with coconut and long bean or the black cod baked in banana leaves with spices, starfruit and tomato.
But the experience doesn’t end with the food. At the bar, award-winning mixologist Bili Wirawan brings his signature magic with spice-driven cocktails that are quickly gaining a reputation as the best in Ubud. His creations, made with ingredients like jackfruit, coconut and snake fruit, capture the same sense of adventure that defines the kitchen. Each cocktail is sustainably conceived and precisely tailored to harmonise with the bold, layered dishes emerging from the pass.
Whether you’re stopping in for a pre-dinner drink, enjoying a relaxed yet refined evening meal, or indulging in a late-night cocktail with a tropical twist, Spice by Blake offers an immersive and flavourful journey that reflects the very best of what modern Indonesian cuisine can be.
