About Buddha-Bar
1996 was the year when a new concept revolutionized the way we eat, the way we socialize, the way we party and enjoy life. Raymond Visan channeled his traveling experiences into the Buddha-Bar concept, a stylish venue that emphasizes on the perfect atmosphere for a delightful meal with friends, cozy and casual with a dash of luxury and above all, exotic music sounds.

A worldwide reference in the fields of gastronomy, hospitality, wellness, music and mixology, the legendary Buddha-Bar goes beyond its neo-Asian wall and finds its home on the Saadiyat beach, offering a day-to-night destination, the first one of its kind in the world.
