About Buddha Bar

Buddha-Bar Paris is the original Buddha-Bar venue, opened in 1996 at 8–12 Rue Boissy d’Anglas in Paris’s 8th arrondissement. The restaurant and lounge occupy a two-level setting organised around a monumental Buddha, with the bar, mezzanine and dining areas creating distinct spaces within the same address. Its cuisine is described by the operator as high-end Asian fusion inspired by the Pacific Rim, with dishes designed for sharing. The official menu and press material identify examples including Black Tiger red shrimp curry, wok-sautéed beef fillet, green chicken curry, steamed sea bass and five-spice chicken, alongside desserts such as cheesecake and Iranian lemon tart. Music is a defining part of the venue: the operator says Buddha-Bar has carried a lounge, ethno-house and deep-house sound since 1996 under the artistic direction of DJ Ravin. The restaurant opens daily from 19:00, while the bar and mezzanine open from 18:00; closing is at 02:00. A practical estimate is more than €60 per person à la carte, before any special menu or drinks.
