Sumas

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A restaurant shaped by determination

Sumas is the realisation of owner Jen’s dream to run her own place. “Don’t lose focus – just do it,” she says, and that spirit runs through every detail of this modern restaurant on Gorey Hill. The team shares her passion: manager Paul creates cocktails shaped by his travels, while waitress Gwyn delights in matching wines to a menu that draws on influences from across the globe. Together they have built a restaurant that feels both personal and polished.

Modern cuisine with a Jersey accent

The kitchen works with fresh, local and seasonal produce – the best seafood the island has to offer appears regularly, from Royal Bay oysters to fruits de mer platters. The menu changes to reflect what is at its peak, with dishes such as fresh pasta with black truffle and Parmesan sitting alongside maple-glazed short rib of beef. The cooking is rooted in French technique but open to international flavours, making each meal feel both grounded and surprising.

A setting that draws you in

The restaurant occupies a whitewashed building on Gorey Hill, with a terrace that takes full advantage of the views. Inside, the design is clean and understated – a calm backdrop for the food. The atmosphere is relaxed but attentive, whether you are there for a Sunday lunch or a special evening. Outdoor seating is available when the weather allows, and the wine list is carefully chosen to complement the cooking.

Michelin Recommended

Sumas has earned a place in the Michelin Guide for 2026, a recognition that reflects the consistency and care in every aspect of the experience – from the welcome at the door to the last bite of dessert. It is a restaurant that does not shout about itself; it simply delivers.
