He then slow-cooked his skills through internships at renowned hotels like the Belgrade Palace and the InterContinental, and work in various restaurants that served different cuisines, from Serbian national to international. In 2014, Chef Dušan started to work as a cook at the Dukley Hotel & Resort Budva, which ultimately led to his appointment as the Executive Chef, in charge of running five independent kitchen units with different menus and concepts. During his professional development stay at the Nikki Beach Dubai, Chef Dušan mastered Caribbean delights that you can enjoy over the views of the Adriatic. Thanks to his course in confectionary baking at the French School of Cooking, you can also expect amazing breakfasts and fluffy pastries.
