Buddha-Bar Paris

Description

The Buddha-Bar is run by the George V Eatertainment Group that was founded by Raymond Visan, who had the idea of creating unique venues that would combine a bar with a restaurant and a night club that had top DJs performing.

Founded well over 10 years ago, the venture started with the Buddha-Bar in Paris, along with the Barrio Latino and then The Bound and these rapidly became some of the trendy places in Paris that everyone wanted to visit, whether it be the Parisians living there or people that were just going to be on holiday in Paris.

One of the main reasons for their success, was the fact that they had totally unique surroundings that were enchanting, yet provided high quality cuisine with an ambiance that was tailored to each venue, along with of course the music supplied by live DJs for night clubbing and their bars.

The Buddha-Bar itself became such a resounding success, that there were several of these that have since opened up in countries all over the world from London in the UK to Washington in the US and others in Dubai, Cairo, Monte-Carlo, etc.

The minute you enter the two story building of the Buddha-Bar in Paris, you will feel like you have entered a completely different world with its exotic and soothing atmosphere, with the focal point being an exceedingly large Buddha, which of course is how the venue in Paris got its name.
The refined decor of the Buddha-Bar restaurant in Paris has subtle amber coloured lighting and chandeliers with rich mahogany furniture, luxury fabrics, Portuguese mosaics and decorated wood panels, with the colour scheme utilising rich reds and gold colours to provide you with the feelings of luxury, refinement and intimacy.

You will find Chinese and Japanese art objects, Khmer statues and even 18th century wrought iron balustrades on the mezzanine that holds the bar, which is in the shape of an ornate sleeping dragon, and looks over to the extremely large Buddha statue on the ground floor in the dining area.

The top DJs will provide the music selections for a great evening of entertainment in Paris, and in fact there are even music compilations that have been recorded from this night club in Paris and they are on sale.

The chefs have created a range of dishes that combine exotic flavours and delicacies with high end cuisine that will tempt your taste buds for something completely different from the normal French food that you would experience at many of the restaurants in Paris.
