Tapasake Portonovi
The Tapasake Portonovi Beach Club is one of the trendiest spots in Montenegro right now, and you can feel it as soon as you set foot in. Tapasake, which is a portmanteau of ‘Tapas‘ and ‘Sake‘ (Japanese Rice Wine), integrates local Montenegrin and Mediterranean design facets with the sophistication of Japanese Fusion Cuisine.
The moody and classy dark-themed interior is the perfect laid-back luxury sanctuary with a calm and homelike vibe that will keep you coming back for more. You will eat taps-style culinary treats prepared by acclaimed Chef Yannick Bayjoo under decadent fringed lampshades and wood ceiling beams.
The modern lines of the almost minimalist design scheme extend out to the amazing pool area, overlooking the wonderful Bay of Kotor. The pool will be where the daytime action occurs, accentuated by pumping and throbbing deep house tunes – but not too loud.
The owners of this beach club must have employed some of the best architects and designers because there is incredible attention to detail. Take a look at the dreamy swing which is placed centrally in the pool landscape, making it popular for those with an Instagram account.
The poolside is lined with beautiful palm trees, comfortable sun loungers, and luxurious cabanas. And what more could you ask for a stupendously picturesque setting, attractive people around you, and ocean-fresh sushi and sashimi platters delivered to your sun lounger?
You can choose from the entire menu list which includes delicacies such as Wagyu Beef served in a stone bowl, lamb chops with eggplant puree, and slow-cooked octopus leg with basil chimichurri. The great choice of signature cocktails further elevates your mood.
The Tapasake Sour combines chili-infused Japanese gin, lemongrass, and watermelon into a work of art. The Tokyo Refresher is a simple sake-based cocktail with lime, soda, and strawberry. But there are also your classic negronis, martinis, and even Japanese Asahi Beer.
When the sun slowly sets behind the scenic bay landscape, it’s time for a sundowner on the Tapasake’s captivating rooftop terrace. Here, you will see guests smoking Shisha and simply enjoying themselves between dinner and the afternoon pool experience.
