Embers at Bisma Eight Ubud

Set within the Island of the God’s natural and cultural heart of Ubud, Bisma Eight provides a boutique hotel experience rooted in the artisan heritage of central Bali. Infusing both local and international elements into its aesthetics, Bisma Eight is also home to an array of great dining destinations, including Embers Restaurant, which opens daily from 7am until 10pm.

Inspired by the great flavours of the Mediterranean, the semi-open restaurant prides itself in using only the freshest ingredients. The menu takes inspiration from the in-house organic farm, while the drink list is a smorgasbord of tantalising tipples to complete each meal.

Behind the long bar, a team of skilled bartenders has perfected the art of crafting drinks utilising trusted and age-old techniques. Every drink, draft and dram is inspired by the herbs, spices, fruits and other plants that once passed through the Mediterranean; an ancient time of trade that bridged the subtleties of the old world with profound nuances of the new. The drink menu is divided into four categories: Mare Nostrum, Straights Exchange, 14 Nights and Tailored Classics.

The Amaro is a beautiful concoction of fig sous-vide bourbon, red vermouth, cynar and bitter cinnamon that results in a nuttiness with a hint cinnamon. For something lighter, try the Rosita, featuring apple raki, dry vermouth, honey and lime cordial, and rose and wine tincture.

For the adventurous type, The Wall is made of air-compressed cacao nibs, cold drip coffee with chocolate fondant, and pineapple liqueur. The bar also offers classics like Negroni, Old Fashioned and Manhattan that are barrel aged in Mexican oak for at least 14 days.
