A SPLASH OF OIL. A DASH OF SEA SALT. A SPRIG OF ROSEMARY.
Embers is celebrated for its expertly grilled dishes, signature steaks, fresh seafood, and handcrafted pastas. With farm-fresh ingredients and bold, sun-drenched flavors served in a warm, romantic setting, it stands as one of the top restaurants Ubud has to offer—an experience defined by depth, craft, and character.
Our philosophy revolves around honest cooking powered by open flames and sustainably sourced produce from Embers’ own garden. The menu highlights rustic Mediterranean techniques—think char-kissed seafood, slow grilled meats, and thoughtfully aged ingredients—elevated with subtle influences from Persian aromatics, Greek herb traditions, Arabic warmth, and the simplicity of Coastal Italian cooking. Combined with intimate service and a refined atmosphere, Embers invites guests to slow down, savor, and enjoy some of the most memorable grill and steak dishes in Ubud.

“Best food we had in Ubud! Very calm restaurant with a cute garden where they plant vegetables and fruits etc for their fresh dishes. We loved everything about our stay there, especially the amazing cocktails and the service. Our waitress Tari made sure we were happy and even gave us a little tour of the garden in the end. Thank you!”

“We enjoyed a great lunch at Embers. Beautiful setting in a herb garden, somewhat unexpected from the outside. Even more appealing was the food. Amazing colors and flavors. We enjoyed the Jammu, flamed scallops, harissa pappardelle, and labneh on toast.”

“The best restaurant experience I have had in my 4 trips to Bali. The food was exceptional and the service exemplary. It is more expensive than the local restaurant however for a higher-end meal once per holiday, you cannot go wrong with this place. We will be back!”

DRINKS AT EMBERS
We have created an understated, yet finer cocktail bar that goes beyond the simple focus of what is in a glass. Utilizing trusted and age-old techniques, our drinks menu is based around refined craft and techniques, sourcing and using as inspiration the central Balinese terroir.
THE CONSERVATORY & FARM
The Conservatory is the nursery for our sustainable farm, where seedlings are allowed to flourish until they are ready to be transplanted back to the fields. When the time for harvest, without delay fresh produce that meet the highest standard quality will be hand-picked and optimized by our kitchen team to be served nicely to your table.
Open to the public, the Conservatory is a chance to sit in a quiet space with a cup of coffee and view, up close, the beginning of the crop cycle that defines sustainable agriculture in Ubud.

“The flavors of Greek, Italian and North African cuisine stood out the most, thus the idea of serving Mediterranean delicacies was born. They also realised that Balinese and Mediterranean chefs share a common thread, in a sense that they are familiar with creating dishes that elevate rustic recipes and ingredients to new heights.”
“Embers is all about celebrating Mediterranean traditions in all aspects of the dining experience, from the craft of fine cooking (and the drool-worthy menus to boot), to the company of good people in a stunningly contemporary space, and the night’s sky dancing above.”
“Craving Mediterranean fare in the heart of Ubud? Embers, tucked within Bisma Eight Villas just a short stroll from the Sacred Monkey Forest, offers rustic, earth‑to‑table dishes rooted in tradition and crafted with produce sourced locally and on-site.”
