the experience - Buddha-Bar
the experience Pa r i s ORI GIN S A r e v e l at ion f r om fa r a way l a n d s Since its creation in 1996, Buddha-Bar Paris has been the precursor to a true lifestyle concept, with confluent influences from the Pacific Rim. This Lounge-Restaurant, located on the ultra-chic Faubourg St Honoré, was created thanks to the visionary imagination of its founder Raymond V isan, owner of the famous Barfly in Paris. On a constant quest for new ideas gathered during his numerous trips, particularly to Califor nia, Mr. V isan launched the Buddha-Bar that rapidly became a must see in the French capital. For over 15 years, the Buddha-Bar concept has continued to grow and spread its positive energy throughout the world, with restaurants, hotels, spas, beauty care lines, music… today, it is found in 25 countries and tomorrow... many more. Buddha-Bar cultivates its concept with its Parisian and inter national clientele, by providing much more than an invitation to travel to distant lands, through its exotic cuisine from around the world… It offers a fully original experience. EMOTION s T h e l u x u r y a n d v ol u pt u ou sn e ss of a t ime l e ss d é c or , b e a u t if u l ly r e n ovat e d in S e pt e mb e r 2 0 1 2 W ith its cinema-style décor, covering an over 1,000 square meter surface area, the Buddha-Bar boasts majestic proportions, with three levels built around a monumental Buddha, over 4 meters high. Between the « boutique-reception area » on the ground floor and the immense restaurant located below, alcove lounges are found on the mezzanine surrounding the main dining area. The mezzanine has a lavishly statuesque bar sculpted in the form of a dragon with red scales and green jade and offers strategically cozy spots, where you may enjoy a privileged moment of relaxation by candlelight, unobserved by others. Gigantic arabesque chandeliers in red velvet embroidered with golden thread are suspended above the gold restaurant with its round tables and red lounge, both warm and discreet for a fully enjoyable dining experience. The elegant décor, in noble materials such as mahogany, displays silky woven lacquered fur niture and Portuguese mosaics, created using ancestral hot foil stamping techniques, sculpted wood, bright mural paintings and beautifully positioned rare collection pieces that were carefully chosen from faraway countries in Asia, particularly China and Japan. The harmonious red and yellow ochre on the patina walls and the gold leaf showcasing the Buddha come together to create an elegantly refined décor. The warm Pacific atmosphere and friendly, attentive waiting staff help establish a highly relaxing ambiance, which is subtly enhanced by the music carefully selected by resident DJ Ravin (a leading reference in Buddha-Bar throughout the world and musical compilations). This signature music boasts electro-style beats combined with ethnic and tribal sounds from distant lands. Here, you are suspended in time and carried away to faraway lands… Breathe in deeply…. You are at BUDDHA-BAR. SEN SATION s D e l e c ta b l e in t e r n at ion a l c u isin e The creative Pacific Rim cuisine with Asian, Hawaiian and Califor nian influences combines fresh products, different cooking methods, a subtle blend of spices and exotic flavors, and an enjoyable tasting principle, based on abundance and sharing. Created by Eric Rousselières, executive chef since 2000 at Buddha-Bar Paris and 25 other worldwide establishments owned by the group, the menu is slightly modified in the fall and spring. Between tradition and moder nity, the chef adds a unique and original touch to his culinary palette by reinventing certain classic dishes. The menu offers «signature» dishes such as the Buddha-Bar Chicken Salad, Spicy Tuna tartare, Roasted black cod with Miso and Yuzu sauce, Peking duck with candied fruit and even Traditional New York style cheesecake with seasonal red fruit, beautifully reinvented thanks to light and moder n influences. These include the Green papaya and mango Thai salad, Seared foie gras with Pondicher y pepper, Fresh litchi salad as well as Tandoori ginger lamb chops, seasonal vegetables and to finish on a high note, Chilled Mango Soup… Not to mention some of the essential signature creations by Master Sushi Chef Massato Nakabayashi: Sushi, Sashimi and Rolls as well as his famous Califor nia rolls, served with a spicy mango sauce. For lunch, let yourself be tempted by the «Bento» menu, the «Tasting» menu and the large «tempura» platters that will tur n an urban lunch and its time constraints into an exotic experience. To accompany this tasty jubilee, fine wines, Champagne, Soshu and sake will be carefully suggested by the wine waiter from a menu of over 200 classic choices, including exceptional wines from around the world. EXOTIC ATMOSPH ERE T h e Ga l l e r y (me z z a n in e ) Located on the mezzanine, the Gallery, which surrounds the entire dining room, offers a bar and small, comfortable and warm alcoves. For pre-dinner or after dinner drinks, enjoy the delicious cocktails created by Matthias Giroud, executive chef barman for all Buddha-Bar and their teams (awarded numerous prizes). From the most classic to the most inventive, our cocktails are made with products that come from the 4 cor ners of the world, in line with the latest inter national trends: Tikky Style - World BB cocktails créations - Voyage en Asie - So Fresh - So Japan… Not to mention the delicious alcohol-free mocktails made with fresh fruit, 100% organic floral water, vegetables… As of 6 p.m. and all evening long, the bar offers a menu of delectable selections, including «Tapasian», a dual and harmonious combination, with a duo of cocktails, delightfully savory appetizers… to be shared with friends. Much more than a simple bar, as of September 2012, the Gallery will offer cultural, musical and artistic events in its warm, elegant and friendly atmosphere. Weekly events will be organized, including artistic photo exhibits, newly published literary works, musical performances and many other surprises… The Gallery is the ideal venue for savoring a unique and enjoyable time, with someone special or a group of friends.

Created to enhance the restaurant’s atmosphere, this spicy and distinctly creative musical style enchanted both the Parisian and inter national clientele, who asked Claude Challe to produce the first Buddha-Bar compilation. However, this was only the beginning of a great adventure… The George V Record label was created in 2000, spurred by Raymond V isan. This led to the successive release of 14 compilations, in collaboration with numerous artists. These include Ravin, the current resident DJ, boosting his renown in the music world and with the inter national public, thanks to his constant artistic quest for high quality sounds and rhythms. Today, the label is already being asked by prestigious brands, such as L’Oréal, Salvatore Ferragamo and even Cartier, to create albums specifically for them. It represents a real underlying trend in the global marketing concept, in which George V Records, as a precursor, intends to remain leader in the industry.
