From Paris to London, New York to Jakarta, Buddha Bar restaurants continue to push the culinary boundaries in their unique style. The Buddha Bar in Prague, set in the heart of the Old Town, is no exception.

For the uninitiated, the Buddha Bar concept mixes imaginative contemporary pan-Asian food, opulent interiors, chic staff and exotic world music.

Upstairs, a luxurious mezzanine bar and lounge looks down on the dining area. This is ideal for pre or post dinner drinks, with a range of beers, wines and spirits on offer including an extensive cocktail list.

Ambient tunes flow through the Buddha Bar, as DJs distil their musical selections while you dine and enjoy fine drinks. The sound is soothing and uplifting, infusing the night with energy and sensuality.

Buddha Bar is unique in Prague. It has proved a popular choice for a range of diners, from couples seeking a romantic dining experience to groups of friends and for business occasions.
