Buddha Bar Nightclub and Restaurant in Paris

The Buddha Bar was originally started by Raymond Visan and then co-owned with his partner Gerard Guez and there are now other Buddha Bars that have opened up in Dubai and Cairo, plus smaller venues called the Little Buddha Bar in Las Vegas and Vienna.

The setting in Paris is a two storey dining area that is subtly lit with rich mahogany furniture, Chinese and Japanese art, wood panelling, luxurious looking fabrics in red and gold plus mosaics and the giant statue, which is a twenty metre tall Buddha that watches over drinkers and diners.

You can sit and have a meal at the Buddha Bar surrounded by palm trees and chandeliers or just have a drink at the mezzanine bar, which is in the shape of an ornate sleeping dragon and is laced with 18th century style wrought-iron balustrades. 

This is a great place in Paris to start your nightclubbing, with some fantastic DJ's who will provide you with mood setting, ethnic and laid back tunes and the experience is summed up brilliantly by the now famous Buddha Bar compilations that you can purchase, yet because it is a very popular place, it can be difficult to get into, and therefore it's a good idea to make a reservation if going here for a meal.

Situated in the 8th Arrondissement of Paris close to the Place de la Concorde, the Buddha Bar is a temple of glitzy style with Japanese-American fusion food that skilfully combines exotic delicacies with high-class cuisine.

There is no particular dress code, but you may have realised by now that the Pariasians do tend to dress up for an evening out at a restaurant in Paris, and being situated in a chic area of Paris, this is something that you may wish to do, as you will definitely not feel out of place with the business men and the fashionable crowd that you will meet here.
