Our Cuisine
At Spice by Blake, every ingredient tells a story. We partner with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans to source fresh, seasonal produce — creating dishes that are thoughtful, inventive, and full of life. Inspired by the energy of Indonesia’s food stalls, our menu moves from Crispy Duck Nuggets with turmeric-lemon dip to Beef Cheek Rendang, Black Cod cooked over charcoal and wrapped in banana leaves, and our signature Boneless Duck Rawon. There’s comfort, surprise, and a bit of fun in every bite — even our Tempe Cereal with Kemangi Marshmallows proves dessert can still keep things exciting.
Our Cocktails
At Spice by Blake, cocktails are crafted with the same care and creativity as our food. Our cocktail bar in Ubud highlights Indonesian herbs, spices, and tropical fruits — shaken, stirred, and infused into drinks that capture the island’s vibrant energy. Each sip tells its own story — a celebration of flavour, craft, and the playful spirit that defines Spice by Blake, one of Ubud’s most exciting dining hidden gems.
