DP Buddha-bar Monte-Carlo UK - the Monte
PRESS FOLDER Monte-Carlo, capital of elegance, well-being and contemporary glamour, needed a Buddha-Bar. And, hey presto, it now has one! Groupe Monte-Carlo SBM, at the request of CEO Bernard Lambert, chose the Buddha-Bar brand to set up an Asian eatery and meeting place in Monaco. Already successful in the worldÊs top hot spots including Paris, London, Beirut, Dubai, Sao Paulo and Kiev to name but a few, Buddha-Bar is further confirming its commitment to the world of all things refined with this new address which hopes to become the Asian cuisine venue par excellence in the Principality. Much more than just a concept, Buddha-Bar is a way of life, timeless yet in tune with the times. A fusion of East-meets-West, Buddha-Bar breathes new life on to the Place du Casino. A chic yet relaxed festive spirit shared with Monte-Carlo SBM which has been involved in Riviera nightlife for almost 150 years. Monte-Carlo SBM and Raymond Visan, creator of Buddha-Bar, are combining their skills to offer Monte-Carlo a new venue which will complete the resortÊs restaurants. It is in the very heart of the „Golden Circle‰ that Buddha-Bar MonteCarlo is welcoming fans of Pacific Rim cooking and lounge music. THE BUDDHA-BAR STORY 1995: Creation of the new Buddha-Bar concept 1996: Birth of the first Buddha-Bar in Paris 2002: George V Records produces the first Buddha-Bar compilation 2004: Opening of the first international Buddha-Bar in Beirut, Lebanon 2007: Opening of the first Buddha-Bar Spa in Evian-les-Bains, France 2008: Opening of the first Buddha-Bar Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic 2010: Opening of BuddhaBuddha-Bar MonteMonte-Carlo BUDDHA-BAR MONTE-CARLO With the opening of Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo, Monte-Carlo SBM is adding another quality restaurant to its collection. It is offering, more than ever before, a formidable choice of ambiances, trends and culinary cultures, ready to satisfy the craziest or most simple whims night and day. Tucked away in an old concert hall built at the start of the 20th century, the unique setting oozes character. It combines architectural heritage and Asian-style decoration, a delicate balance of materials, colours and objets dÊart. The works revealed unexpected splendours which have been restored and incorporated into the new design. Thus, behind the old wall coverings, natural oak wall panels decorated with sculpted musical instruments dating from 1910 were discovered. The imposing original stucco work on the ceiling has simply been regilded. An original and charming elevator provides direct access to the Casino gamblers. The impressive height of the room · 7 metres (23 ft) · has been used to create a mezzanine on which the restaurant dining room has been installed. This looks over the lounge and bar under the watchful eye of the statue of Buddha, made especially in Asia. Enormous chandeliers covered in passementerie, diffuse amber-coloured light and give the deep red, black and gold decor an aura of serenity⁄ totally Zen totally BuddhaBar! Focused on pleasure, Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo covers more than 1000m2 (1196 square yards)² and boasts a 150-cover restaurant serving top-quality Asian-inspired cuisine on the mezzanine, as well as a private room which can cater for up to 20 guests. On the ground floor, the lounge-bar seats around 100 of which 30 are on the two open-air terraces built around the entrance to the venue. The ideal place to spend balmy summer evenings, sipping cocktails and indulging in sushi, sashimi and Buddha rolls.
