Nice ambiance. Terrible food and service. Do yourself a favor and go to anywhere else in Paris. Management needs some serious help with their understanding of customer service. more

If you're looking to have a real gastronomic dinner, don't dine here! It's the experience that counts. Allthough the place is packed with tourists, and some of them are underdressed americans, it's still a very cool place to visit and to have dinner. We're Belgian, food is like a religion and our standards are high. First of all, the atmosphere... more

I was a bit skeptical to come to Buddha bar due to the negative response on this website but was pleasantly surprised to find I had a really enjoyable time. Although, yes, the place is dark I thought this fitted the atmosphere, if the lights had been turned up it wouldn't of made it so special and mysterious. The decor... more

Took daughter and her friend to this supposed iconic bar in Paris. Have been there before and should have known better - but did I learn? Service? What service? We had to wave to the two waitresses standing two meters away to even get any service. We ordered a bottle of champagne - so we werent trying to be cheap,... more

Buddah Bar is very expensive whicb is fine or at least ok if you are getting good service, good food etc. However this is not the case. I have eaten at lots of restaurants of a similar price bracket and never felt as totally ripped off as i did at buddah bar. The food is nothing special, portions ridiculously small(my... more

It's a rip off, I've loved the music of Buddha bar for years so was excited to visit the place created by George V, but the portions are small, it's more like a canteen than an intimate atmosphere, the food is basically chucked out the kitchens They do not deserve your money. more

Came across the music in Chile a few years ago and we always said next time in Paris we must go to the Buddha Bar. Went on our wedding anniversary and oh what a rip off. It was too dark to comment on the decor. The people next to us needed the light from a mobile phone to read the... more

Supposed to be hip and trendy. Nothing close to TAO in NYC. Buddha bar is small, cramped, understaffed and attitudinal. My friend and I were treated with no regard, we spend over 500 USD on champagne and very wimpy warm sushi, never once did the server refill our champagne or water, we asked for chopstix, never, we asked for low... more

Save your time and money in Paris, very disappointed with cuisine. I just returned from Paris, Sept. 16,2007. more
