About Us
BarVera Modern Mediterranean is an original concept by Top Chef Winner and West Coast Restaurateur Chef Charbel Hayek, is planned to open on February 14, 2025. Located on Bedford Street in Downtown Stamford, amid a bustling retail, dining, and entertainment district, BarVera Modern Mediterranean is poised to fill a void in the city's culinary landscape with Chef Hayek’s modern approach to Middle Eastern-Mediterranean cuisine.
Rooted in hospitality, BarVera Modern Mediterranean is bringing back the lost art of fine dining—not with white tablecloths and social pretense but rather with quality ingredients, thoughtful service, a sleek and sophisticated dining room, and a menu that does not take liberties or shortcuts with its dishes.
Instead, Chef Hayek embraces the simple nuances that embody Italian, French, Middle Eastern, and Lebanese-inspired dishes, preparing them with the best land and sea ingredients and presenting them in a manner that illustrates a fine dining experience.
We are located along 148 Bedford Street, Stamford, CT 06901
The BarVera space is transporting, elegant, and relaxed, with a vibrant design aesthetic. Dark wood furnishings and ivy green banquette seating are wrapped in original artwork and custom hand-painted murals that take you on a stroll through countryside vineyards and coastal cities along the Mediterranean Sea.
The beverage program has the same international flare as the menu, including a curated wine list of smaller boutique wines and exceptional grape varietals. Seasonal craft cocktails, premium spirits, and local beer offerings round out the bar menu.
