If you’re in Ubud and looking for a spot that combines the thrill of open-fire cooking with a speakeasy vibe, Honey & Smoke on Monkey Forest Road is a must-visit. This wood-fired bistro, the brainchild of celebrity chef Will Meyrick, showcases Modern Australian cuisine with a focus on chargrilled flavors. 

The beef skewers here are exceptional—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection over an open flame. The menu offers a variety of dishes kissed by smoke, such as Turkish Bazlama Bread cooked over coals and Adana Lamb & Beef Kebabs served with sumac onion and ezme. 

The ambiance is equally captivating. Inspired by the stylistic films of director Wes Anderson, the interior features a 1920s-style train carriage design, complete with antique accents like teak flooring and rustic doorways, amplifying the speakeasy atmosphere. 

Whether you’re stopping by for their lunch specials, classic cocktails during “Classic Hours,” or indulging in the “Feed Me” sharing-style menu, Honey & Smoke delivers a memorable dining experience that celebrates the art of cooking with fire.
