About Buddha-Bar
Sushi and Japanese plates share the menu with French cooking, and the kitchen runs from six in the evening until the two o'clock close, which makes it as workable for an early dinner as for a long, drawn-out night at the table. Doors open Tuesday through Saturday, with Thursday to Saturday the busiest stretch — that's when the deep house and lounge grooves firm up into commercial hits and the room tips from restaurant into something closer to a bar. Bottle service, VIP booths and private dining are all on offer, and the $$$$ band on Place du Casino is exactly what the address implies; valet parking saves you the walk. Smart casual is enforced, and the crowd skews 25 to 45 — a mix of visitors, Western European and Middle Eastern regulars, and Monégasque locals. It trades year round, and 4.5 stars across some 2,700 reviews says the standard holds.
