Book NowAbout Honey & Smoke
Right on the Monkey Forest strip, Honey & Smoke brings wood-fire cooking with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern soul. Ubud visitors frequently count it among the top meals of their travels—swapping the street-level bustle for the air-conditioned upstairs salon, where monkeys climb along the overhead wires around sundown. In the kitchen, the team leans into that authentic kayu bakar char. Starters arrive meant for sharing, from a mezze plate to sliced tuna sashimi finished with dill. Then the wood fire takes over: juicy rib-eye steak in a mushroom and brandy reduction, charred ceciwis on the side, and confit sumac snapper paired with wood-roasted carrots.
- Wood-Fired Grill: Mediterranean and Middle Eastern plates cooked over open flames, featuring confit sumac snapper and juicy rib-eye steak.
- The Upstairs Salon: A quiet second floor with air conditioning and sunset views of monkeys scurrying across the overhead wires.
- Sharing Plates: Plates built for the table, including generous mezze platters, tuna sashimi with dill, and grilled ceciwis.
