After a hugely successful first season, the iconic Sumosan returns to the shores of Montenegro – and with it, a new benchmark for fine dining on the Adriatic coast.
Known for its exquisite fusion of unique Japanese flavours and contemporary culinary art, Sumosan has achieved cult status in global gastronomy hotspots like London, Berlin, Courchevel, Doha. Now, the jewel of the international dining scene returns to its coastal sanctuary at Dukley Hotel & Resort — a lifestyle destination just minutes from Budva’s vibrant city center, where modern luxury meets the Adriatic spirit.
Set against a backdrop of panoramic sea views and framed by Montenegro’s lush coastline, Sumosan Montenegro is a seamless blend of barefoot luxury and cosmopolitan flair. Tables and loungers spill out onto the beachfront, inviting guests to settle in and relax, with a chilled cocktail in hand and the Mediterranean stretching endlessly ahead.
Designed with warm woods, soft neutrals and an airy, modern elegance, the space captures the spirit of its location. By day, it’s all about relaxed indulgence – long lunches, sashimi by the sea, the rustle of palm and pine trees. As the sun dips behind the horizon, the energy shifts: DJs spin sunset sets, live acts ignite the evening air, and the beachfront transforms into a vibrant summer soirée.
At the heart of the experience is the food. The menu, crafted by Sumosan’s acclaimed Head Chef Bubker Belkhit, delivers a refined take on Japanese cuisine with global flair. Think: wasabi prawns with mango and passionfruit salsa, grilled black cod with miso, teriyaki salmon with celeriac purée and pickled daikon, or the standout Chilean sea bass with mixed mushrooms. A crispy chicken sando in homemade milk bread offers a playful twist, while the signature sushi, sashimi and maki rolls remain central to the Sumosan experience – each dish a study in precision and bold, modern flavour.
Complementing the menu is an expertly curated cocktail and wine list, featuring premium sake, chilled Champagne and creative seasonal blends perfect for toasting golden-hour moments. For something sweet, the restaurant’s famed tropical Pavlova, mochi or refreshing house-made sorbets are irresistible finales.
But Sumosan at Dukley Hotel & Resort, is more than a restaurant – it’s a destination. Whether you’re arriving straight from the yacht, with Dukley taxi boat or lingering beachside after a sun-drenched afternoon, it offers an effortlessly elegant escape where exceptional cuisine meets effortless style.
With the much-anticipated return of Sumosan, Montenegro isn’t just raising the bar for gastronomy – it’s staking a confident claim on the global culinary scene.
Sumosan at Dukley Hotel & Resort it’s an experience – a sun-soaked retreat for discerning diners, a refined sanctuary, and quite simply, the Adriatic’s most sought-after culinary destination. In Montenegro, it plays in a league of its own.
