Food & Drinks
Much of the menu passes through the grill. Start with Turkish flatbread lifted from the coals and finished with za'atar salt, torn and shared with whipped chickpea hummus, spinach borani and harissa babaganoush. Burrata with pomelo and fennel jam, pomegranate, pistachio and burnt orange balances richness with bright acidity, while Tuna Sashimi with pickled green tomato, dill, aged soy and burnt butter brings a lighter precision.
As the meal goes on, the fire becomes more assertive: Cauliflower Shawarma with rose petals, pine nuts and pomegranate, the Costolletta Pork Tomahawk made for the centre of the table, and Aged Roasted Duck with chorizo sausage, mujadara rice and smoked eggplant. House-made pasta and pizzetta from the wood-fired oven complete the range. Generous food built around contrast, meant to be shared.
The Bistro Grill is open daily from noon until 10.30pm, downstairs beside the open kitchen and the energy of the grill. Upstairs, the Supper Club welcomes long lunches by day and becomes a speakeasy after dark.
Jazz-led DJ sets play upstairs every Thursday and Saturday from 7pm. Book ahead, especially for those evenings.

Opening hours (Monday to Sunday)
Honey & Smoke has always revealed itself in stages. At street level, it is a fire-led bistro grill, animated and flavoured by open flame and celebrated with a growing wine list. Opened almost four years ago on Jalan Monkey Forest, it takes its name from the way it cooks.
Smoke is the foundation: the chargrill, the embers and the cooking rituals sourced from along the ancient trade routes. Honey represents what travelled along them: saffron, pomegranate, sumac, pistachio, za'atar and rose water. Here, fire is treated as a discipline, not a finishing flourish.
Teak floors, antique details, rustic doorways and carriage-inspired architecture place the room somewhere between a grand railway dining room and a private club discovered along the way, animated by the open kitchen and the energy of the grill. The Bistro Grill is open daily from noon until 10.30pm.
The upper room is Honey & Smoke's second act. By day it welcomes long lunches and slow afternoons. After dark the lights drop, the drinks begin to flow, and the room becomes an intimate supper club and, later, a speakeasy bar. The entrance is marked. It simply is not obvious unless you know where to look.
On Thursday and Saturday evenings, jazz-led DJ sets play from 7pm, bringing rhythm to the room without turning dinner into a nightclub. The music lifts the evening while leaving space for cocktails, conversation and the comfortable sophistication of a speakeasy.
The bar draws from the same pantry as the kitchen. Cardamom Reverie pairs gin with green tea-infused cardamom and lemongrass, Spice Route layers curry leaf-infused tequila with clarified calamansi, and Honey Brown Butter brings brown-butter fat-washed whiskey together with forest honey. The Aged Negroni and Aged Old Fashioned use time and oak as deliberately as the kitchen uses flame.
Such a lovely restaurant in Ubud! The atmosphere was beautiful and peaceful, the food was delicious, and everything was presented so nicely. The service was also warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. I really enjoyed the overall experience it’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good food, and take your time. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Ubud. Would happily come back again!

The food was fantastic, I had the slow cooked lamb parpadelle and my partner had fusilli pasta. I had to pick out some small bone pieces out of the lamb, but otherwise the meal was perfect and the pasta is notably fresh. We shared the fries which were also lovely and crispy. Our waiter, Edy, made the experience even better. He was very accommodating, friendly and had a good knowledge of the menu, going the extra mile to repeat the order and explain how the dish is presented, which I thought was a nice added touch and showed he was professional and knowledgeable.

Excellent experience throughout. Would highly recommend for any visitor in Ubud. Food was top quality and expertly plated. - service: prompt and kind. Never had to ask for anything. Very attentive. - atmosphere: inviting with an open kitchen. We sat at the bar seating while watching the chefs curate each dish. Sitting at the bar you feel the heat of the kitchen’s coal grill, adding to the realness of the experience. - food: wonderful. From the starter to the main course, each item was well curated and seasoned. We had whipped chickpea hummus and Turkish flat bread, fried tempura zucchini flowers, and a ribeye with chimichurri, fries, and roasted carrots. Each dish had a lovely balance of flavors that kept us going back. A true hero was the herbal sauce beneath the ribeye that mixed so well with the chimichurri.

Probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Service from Yuni was exceptional. When repeating the order she explained how the meal was served. Brilliant. What a treat it was!
