Budha Bar

It was back in 1996 that Raymond Visan opened the first Buddha Bar in Paris. With its ground breaking Pan Asian Menu, chick nightclub vibe and house music no credible it would create a best-selling record label in its wake, it soon became the venue of choice for the city beau monde.

Since then Buddha-bar brand has become one of the world’s most successful with outposts in over a dozen destinations worldwide including Monte Carlo, Moscow and Manila. Now to this illustrious list can be added the gorgeous Buddhabar Restaurant London in the heart of Knightsbridge.

The Budha Bar in Paris features a giant Buddha statue, designed and sculpted by Bruno Tanquerel. Some Budha Bar and Little Budha Licenses also feature giant Buddha statues, some of which are adaptations of the Budha Bar Paris statue.
