A curated season of signature experiences bringing together gastronomy, champagne, sport, music, outdoor living and the unmistakable spirit of Monaco
Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge announces Sass’ Events — Summer Series, a curated collection of signature experiences designed to bring the venue’s distinctive dinner-to-nightlife energy into the Bucharest summer season. Hosted across Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge, the intimate Sass’ Speakeasy and Sass’ Outdoor, the programme gathers champagne dinners, elevated match nights, race screenings, oriental-inspired evenings and open-air Sunday rituals into one refined calendar of social experiences. Rooted in the legacy of the Sass’ brand from Monaco and set within Corinthia Bucharest, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge continues to define a new language of hospitality in the capital: one where refined gastronomy, live music, crafted drinks and celebration unfold naturally throughout the evening. This summer, that spirit takes shape through a series of immersive events conceived for guests who seek more than a reservation — they seek an atmosphere, a rhythm and a story to remember. ABOUT THE SUMMER SERIES The Summer Series reflects the world of Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge in its most expressive form. Each event has been built around a different social ritual: the elegance of a champagne-paired dinner, the energy of football nights reimagined through a luxury lens, the glamour of race weekends, the sensory warmth of Arabian nights and the leisurely art of a Sunday spent outdoors. Together, the experiences continue the Sass’ philosophy that a night out should move effortlessly from table to music, from conversation to celebration and from beautiful food to unforgettable atmosphere. Sass’ SIGNATURE DINNER SERIES — FIRST EDITION WITH CHAMPAGNE BILLECART-SALMON The season begins on Thursday, 4 June 2026, at 8:00pm, with the first edition of the Sass’ Signature Dinner Series, hosted in the exclusive setting of the Sass’ Speakeasy. Created as an ongoing collection of elevated dining experiences in collaboration with prestigious houses, luxury brands and renowned producers from around the world, the series brings together storytelling, craftsmanship and hospitality around the table. For its inaugural edition, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge partners with Champagne Billecart-Salmon, in partnership with Vinimondo, for an intimate six-course dinner with champagne pairing. Designed for guests who appreciate sophisticated dining and memorable evenings, the experience celebrates the pleasure of exceptional champagne, refined cuisine and shared moments in the unmistakable atmosphere of Sass’. The six-course menu is priced at 600 RON per person, including champagne pairing.

Sass’ IN BUCHAREST — A MONACO-BORN EXPERIENCE IN THE HEART OF THE CAPITAL
Opened in 2025 within Corinthia Bucharest, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge brings to Bucharest the unmistakable spirit that made the Sass’ brand iconic in Monaco: vibrant dinners, Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, live music, DJs, performers and an atmosphere where glamour moves naturally into celebration. The venue’s interiors, crafted by G&M Design, reinterpret the Sass’ signature baroque aesthetic through burgundy, black and gold tones, enriched by velvet, leather and leopard-print accents, with distinctive touches of green created for the Bucharest address. Open for lunch, dinner and late-night moments, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge evolves throughout the day into an evening destination where dining, music and social energy become one seamless experience.
Sass’ — A FAMILY, AN INSTITUTION, THREE DECADES OF HISTORY
Founded in 1993 on Monaco’s Avenue Princesse Grace by Salvador Treves, affectionately known as “Sassa”, and his wife Yolande, Sass’ Café became one of the Principality’s most celebrated destinations — a place where guests could dine, drink and dance all night long. Over the years, Sass’ has grown into a true Monegasque institution, known for its festive hospitality, its international clientele and its rare ability to make every guest feel part of the family. In 1997, their son Samy joined the family business, bringing a new generation of energy and vision that helped carry the Sass’ spirit beyond Monaco. Following Sass’ AlUla in Saudi Arabia, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge Bucharest marks the continuation of this journey, bringing the brand’s signature blend of gastronomy, music and celebration to Romania.
STATEMENT
“With the Summer Series, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge captures everything that defines our world: long dinners, music, champagne, sport, outdoor living and unforgettable nights. Every event has its own rhythm, but they all share the same energy — glamour, vibrant and deeply social. This is our vision of summer in Bucharest: sophisticated, alive and unmistakably Sass’.”
