Wanara Spice

Tucked down a quiet alleyway near the Monkey Forest, Wanara Spice pairs authentic Balinese cooking with an open-air bamboo retreat away from Ubud's traffic hum. Diners settle under soaring rafters to the background murmur of a rushing river stream, occasionally spotting monkeys playing in the tree branches just across the lane. The kitchen turns out fragrant plates with crisp table linens and refined presentation—from grilled red snapper and savory duck bebek to crisp lawar kacang salad. Chef Suki frequently steps out from the stoves to check on tables, tailoring spice levels or cooking off-menu dishes for dietary needs on the spot. Meals often kick off with chilled ice water and a complimentary starter, winding down over grilled satay sticks and quiet jungle views.
