Shelter Bali has announced the 3rd instalment of its highly Shelter Sessions will be featuring Michelin-starred chef Jake Kellie from arkhé restaurant in Adelaide. The event promises to be a culinary celebration of epic proportions as Shelter’s Head Chef Stephen Moore and Jake will be collaborating on a menu that will tantalise your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

Shelter Bali has a reputation for bringing the world’s best chefs to Bali, most recently Michelin-starred Andrew Walsh from Catfish Izakaya in Singapore and previously celebrated Ross Magnaye of Serai Melbourne and MasterChef Australia fame. Both were sell-out events and brought together the local hospitality community and international guests for a very long lunch that continued into an evening of fun.

Jake Kellie (above and below) is no exception. He has an impressive resume that includes working with culinary legends such as Dave Pynt (Burnt Ends #65 World’s Best Restaurant), Heston Blumenthal (The Fat Duck, UK), Brett Graham (The Ledbury, London), Scott Pickett (Estelle, Melbourne) and Matt Moran (Aria, Sydney).

During the two and a half years he was at Burnt Ends, Kellie learned the finer points of open-fire barbequing and came runner-up in the 2018 San Pellegrino Young Chef competition in Milan.

Jake’s extensive experience has led him to become the Executive Chef and Owner of arkhé, Adelaide’s first open-flame restaurant, which has received critical acclaim since its launch in 2021. The dining hot spot offers all the comforts of a sleek neighbourhood bar with a global ethos and soul, offering an immersive dining experience centred around the restaurant’s open kitchen and two-tonne, dual cavity oven.

Stephen and Jake met when Jake was at Burnt Ends, and they have remained friends and collaborated on various foodie events over the years.

Stephen (right), who is looking forward to welcoming Jake to Bali, said, “I am thrilled to work with Jake to create a menu that blends our respective knowledge and culinary philosophies into an unforgettable dining experience for our guests. Our open fire at Shelter Bali is the perfect venue to showcase his talents, and I can’t wait for our guests to see what we have in store for them.”

Shelter Sessions: Volume 3 with Jake Kellie from arkhé restaurant in Adelaide will take place on Saturday, 29 July, from 12 pm to 4 pm at Shelter Bali’s stunning location in Pererenan, Bali.

Bookings are now open, and we encourage everyone to secure their spot as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

About Shelter Bali
Shelter Bali’s cuisine takes its inspiration from a cooking tradition rooted in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. With Chef Stephen Moore at the helm, vibrancy pervades the kitchen alongside a food culture rich in heady aromatics and exotic spices. Slow-cooked meats and charred vegetables are delivered to guests to share and enjoy.

The wood-fired oven that is the restaurant’s warm heart fills the air with the smell of baking bread while black Angus ribeye and local octopus sizzle on the charcoal grill.

Cooking over an open fire is the most ancient and primitive of techniques – Shelter Bali burn rambutan and coffee wood for a unique smoky flavour. Homemade labneh and sourdough cultures are tended to in quiet corners, yet the busy open front clamours with activity.

Shelter Bali is a rare and special place. Rare because it is an informal, modest restaurant serving gourmet food in understated surroundings. Special because the dishes manage to be unfamiliar, mysterious and yet totally unintimidating.
