Adriana Cocina & Bar, the rooftop venue at Samasta Village adjacent to Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali, is set to host an intriguing four-hands collaboration dinner that brings together two culinary leaders with beautifully contrasting approaches to their craft. Taking place on 19 and 20 June 2026, the event unites meticulous precision with intuitive creation over a single table. This eight-course collaboration dinner offers an exploration of Latin cuisine from two distinct perspectives, focusing entirely on balance, texture, and clarity of flavour.
The first perspective belongs to Chef Gerardo Ramos, the resident executive chef at Adriana Cocina & Bar, whose disciplined approach was shaped by decades of experience across Mexico, the United States, and Indonesia. Chef Gerardo places great value on order, technical precision, and absolute consistency during service. “For me, cooking is about respect. Respect for the ingredients, the culture, and the people we serve. When you keep it simple and honest, the flavour speaks clearly,” he notes, emphasising his commitment to authentic Latin American traditions.
In contrast, Chef Matias Mardones, executive chef at 25hours Hotel Jakarta, follows a more instinctive path, inspired by watching his mother and grandmother cook in their family kitchen. His culinary journey later wound through fast-paced professional kitchens in Chile, Hong Kong, Manila, Macau, and Korea, teaching him to adapt seamlessly across diverse cultures without relying on language. Chef Matias works with bold flavours and spontaneous timing to elicit an emotional response from guests. “I want people to feel something when they take the first bite,” he explains.
The two chefs complement one another during this special collaboration dinner, blending structured heritage with fluid adaptability. Guests can expect a beautifully choreographed menu where ingredients are treated with the utmost care. The vibrant atmosphere of Adriana Cocina & Bar, situated on the eighth floor of Samasta Lifestyle Village, provides an inviting stage that allows diners to focus fully on the food and the rhythm of the evening.
To elevate the experience, guests can opt for a drink pairing add-on tailored to complement each specific flavour profile, alongside curated cigar and tequila options to complete the evening. This exclusive collaboration dinner is limited to two nights to ensure a highly personal level of service. The event takes place on 19 and 20 June 2026 from 6pm to 10pm, priced at IDR 1,100,000 per person. The beverage pairing is available at IDR 550,000 per person, and the cigar and tequila set is priced at IDR 450,000 per set.
