After years of delighting food lovers, Spice returns to Ubud with a bold new energy. Originally opened in 2015 by Chef Chris Salans, the restaurant earned a devoted following for its modern twist on Indonesian flavors. Now reimagined under the direction of Chef Blake Thornley—also co-owner of Mozaic—Spice by Blake enters a new chapter, balancing culinary creativity with heritage in a refreshed, contemporary setting.
The menu is a tribute to Indonesia’s rich culinary landscape. Using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, each dish—ranging from snacks to sweets—celebrates bold flavors and mindful simplicity. Chef Blake’s approach focuses on honoring tradition while giving it a distinctive, modern edge. From farm to sea, sustainability plays a central role in every element of the kitchen.
Complementing the food is an innovative drinks program designed by award-winning mixologist Bili Wirawan. The bar features handcrafted cocktails and artisanal beverages infused with local ingredients and spices. Open from 4 PM to 1 AM, Spice by Blake offers a lively spot for sunset aperitifs, flavorful dinners, or after-dark drinks, with the kitchen serving until 11 PM.
Spice by Blake invites both locals and travelers to explore Indonesian cuisine in a relaxed yet elevated setting. It’s a place where stories are told through food, where local talent is celebrated, and where the soul of the archipelago is brought to life on every plate.
