Murano

A proud Montenegrin and a true reflection of Montenegro’s culinary heritage, Executive Chef Srđjan Begović’s journey with Regent Porto Montenegro began in 2014 as a Commis Chef. Through dedication, consistency, and a deep respect for local ingredients, he has steadily progressed through the ranks to lead the hotel’s culinary vision today.

Chef Srđjan’s approach is rooted in simplicity and authenticity - celebrating the natural flavours of the Adriatic while drawing on years of hands-on experience in both traditional and contemporary kitchens. His menus reflect a strong connection to the region, shaped by seasonality, local producers, and time-honoured techniques.

"For me, cooking is about staying true to where we are. The best dishes come from honest ingredients, treated with care and respect."

Under his leadership, the culinary offering continues to evolve while remaining grounded in a genuine sense of place, bringing guests closer to the essence of the Montenegrin coast through every dish.

With four years at Regent Porto Montenegro, Head Pastry Chef Sameer Sambare brings a refined and creative approach to the hotel’s pastry offering. The talent behind the much-loved creations at Gourmet Corner and Murano Restaurant, he combines precision, artistry, and a deep understanding of flavour.

His culinary journey spans India, Dubai, and the Maldives, where he honed his craft across diverse luxury hospitality environments. Today, his work reflects a balance of international expertise and a thoughtful adaptation to the tastes and traditions of the Montenegrin coast.
