The Buddha Bar is in a great location in Paris. Getting a reservation was easy at late notice. The inside was amazing, beautiful, and just plain cool. The service was slow at best, and instead of one server, they all seemed to take care of all tables, so it was confusing whom to flag down, as was necessary. The food... More

I went to Buddha Bar (Paris) based on my previous experience in Buddha Bad (Dubai) which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, this one is a real disappointment. The same reaction I got with my wife was that the food had no taste. The restaurant offers Japanese, Chinese and Indian cuisine. I had spring rolls, samosa and sushi for the appetizers. The spring...

This place is famous for the Buddha giant statue and for the many candle light. In fact there is little more: we stepped in early evening and were prevented from going down the stairs to the dining room ("you can have a look from the balcony.."). We understand several tourist may come in just to have a look but it... More

Second time in Paris - second time at Buddha Bar! Definitely a bit on the pricey side but a great late night location for fun! Fantastic music and terribly cool. And at 40 yrs old - I didn't feel too old! More

Our visit to the Buddha Bar was accidental...it was raining and dinner time when I espied the sign. We followed the trail of signs to this wondrous place. I had heard the music at home and fleetingly dreamt of dining there. I had a most decisions salmon dish which was perfect. My companion had wok fried beef which was tender... More

We went to Buddha Bar Paris in January 2011 because I like ambient house music and I thought it would be a cool place to go. We were seated promptly, but were then left there for approximately 25 minutes before anyone would take our drink order. People around us were also getting annoyed at the lack of service and you...

we didnt have a reservation, so we drank and had appetizers for an hour in the waiting area/bar. but that was expected. after that, we really didnt have any issues with service or anything. we were just glad this place was open on new years eve because a lot of places were surprisingly closed.
