A Day at Honey & Smoke Fire-Led Bistro Grill & Jazz Supper Club in Ubud
Long lunch, slow afternoon, fire, then upstairs.
The Restaurant
A restaurant in Ubud that takes its time
Honey & Smoke reveals itself in stages, so give it a day. Start with lunch on Jalan Monkey Forest and see how far you get.
The name comes from the way chef Will Meyrick’s kitchen cooks. Smoke is the chargrill and the embers. Honey is what travelled along the old trade routes: saffron, pomegranate, sumac, pistachio, za’atar and rose water.
Teak floors, rustic doorways and carriage-inspired details sit somewhere between a grand railway dining room and a private club found along the way. Downstairs moves to the open kitchen. Upstairs is softer and darker.

From NoonEvery day
Noon · The Long Lunch
Lunch begins at the coals
The doors open at noon. Turkish Flat Bread comes off the coals with za’atar salt, ready to tear through hummus and borani, and the afternoon starts to look less urgent. Lunch brings its own burgers too, and the current set menus are on What’s On.

Evening · The Bistro Grill
Dinner, and the fire grows bolder
For dinner in Ubud, sit close to the flame. Much of the menu passes through the grill, so heat and smoke do the work. Levantine and Persian flavours lead, a Southern European hand follows, and it all heads for the middle of the table.

After Dark · Upstairs
Then the lights drop
After dark, the room upstairs turns into an intimate supper club. Jazz-led DJ sets play on Thursday and Saturday from 7pm, and the bar pours from the same pantry as the kitchen. It stays open till late.
There is more to the evening after that, if you know where to look.
