Mason Group Chef and Bar Vera founder, Benjamin Cross, a well-known figure in Bali’s food and beverage industry, has enlisted the talented Keir Ballantyne as the Head Chef. Together, they strive to offer carefully curated dishes that blend timeless French technique with locally sourced ingredients, adding subtle nods to the elements of the local region.
The goal of the Mason Group in creating Bar Vera is to remain consistent with their main philosophy and mission, offering exceptional and unforgettable dining experiences for the international crowd in Bali.
Bar Vera’s signature drinks menu is curated by the multi-award-winning Bar Director, Zac de Git, whose creativity allows Bar Vera to showcase the finest drinking traditions from across Europe, complemented by an extensive wine list of diverse European wines curated by Group GM and Sommelier, Marcus Boyle.
