    Portrait of Guillaume Iskander

    i. Biography

    Ingredient sourcing sets the working terms at Mudra Art Cuisine in Kotor Bay, Montenegro: organic supply is treated as the first decision in the dish, not a marketing layer after the fact. In June, Guillaume Iskander rejoined the team there with that standard in view. His own shorthand for the level expected is direct: “I was awarded a Michelin star.”

    The Climb

    Restaurant building, service under a co-founder’s responsibility, and short-format international cooking mark the early record here. Guillaume Iskander was chef and co-founder at Garance in Paris, France, before working as guest chef for a limited four-night residency at Girandole, Park Hyatt Tokyo, Japan (2014–2014). The current posts keep the work split between Belgrade and Kotor Bay: chef of Langouste (since 2019) and chef of Mudra Art Cuisine, HUMA Kotor Bay Hotel & Villas (since 2026).

    Where They Are Now

    Organic sourcing is the stated discipline in the current Mudra Art Cuisine chapter. In June, Iskander rejoined the team at Mudra Art Cuisine in Kotor Bay, Montenegro, returning to a named kitchen where the procurement decision is positioned as the ethical beginning of the work.
