The story
Sublima in Kołobrzeg delivers a refined take on Polish cooking, anchored by Executive Chef Andrzej Jakomulski. He studied under masters in Austria, Thailand, and the United States before applying that global training to a distinctly local menu. Every component from house-made bread to complex sauces begins on site rather than arriving frozen. A visible live cooking station sits at the center of the floor, allowing diners to observe the brigade’s timing and plating decisions. That dedication to transparent craftsmanship contributed to a Michelin distinction and a strong Gault & Millau assessment in 2026.
The menu balances traditional Polish ingredients with unexpected structural choices. Raw tuna tartare arrives with guacamole, wakame seaweed, and ponzu sauce, while a roasted cabbage steak rests on a smooth green pea purée. Warmth returns through a fish żurek finished with quail egg and trout roe, followed by a wild boar knuckle braised with pearl barley and juniper jus. These plates depend on strict supplier relationships and precise temperature control, letting the core flavors dictate the final composition.
Positioned near the historic center within the Skampol Hotel, the dining room prioritizes comfort over rigid formality. Expansive windows channel natural light across stone surfaces and timber accents throughout the main hall. Heavy drapes and upholstered seating absorb sound, creating a steady backdrop for conversation. Patrons frequently choose the space for lunch meetings or evening gatherings, drawn by the consistent pace and uncluttered layout.
