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 traditional Japanese flavours and contemporary culinary art,‬

‭Sumosan has achieved cult status in global gastronomy hotspots like London, Dubai, Courchevel‬ and Beverly Hills. Now, the jewel of the international restaurant scene reclaims its coastal‬ sanctuary at Dukley Hotel & Resort, just minutes from Budva.‬

‭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 katsu 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.‬

‭Sumosan at Dukley Hotel & Resort is a destination. It offers an elegant escape with exceptional cuisine‬ and effortless style. From marriage proposals and weddings to glittering celebrations, it has‬ already earned a reputation as Montenegro’s most romantic fine dining address.‬

‭With the much-anticipated return of Sumosan, Montenegro is staking a confident claim on the global culinary scene.‬

‭Sumosan at Dukley Hotel & Resort is 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.‬
