Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo occupies a gilded Belle Époque hall inside the Casino de Monte-Carlo building — the global lounge formula at its most theatrical. Pan-Asian dining under a giant Buddha, signature low-lit cocktails, and DJs through the weekend. It works equally as a pre-casino dinner or a destination night in itself.
Booking, the OF.luxury way
One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.
Inside Buddha-Bar on Place du Casino
Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo is part of the Casino de Monte-Carlo building on Place du Casino. It stands where the Cabaret Monte-Carlo played at the start of the last century. The car drops you on the square itself, and valet parking is offered.
The room
The hall has seven-metre ceilings, with carved wood, cornices, stucco and gilding from the period. A large meditating Buddha faces the dining room. The lighting is low and warm. Two open-air terraces add tables in summer.
The kitchen
Chef Éric Guillemaud cooks an Asian menu, mainly Thai and Japanese, with French technique. Sushi, sashimi and maki sit alongside hot dishes, so a table can share or order individually.
Hours
The SBM lists Buddha-Bar as open from Monday to Saturday, 6pm to 3am, with DJs as the evening goes on. Those long hours suit both an early dinner and a late table.
Private dining
Le Salon by Maison Moghadam is a private room for smaller gatherings. It suits a family dinner or a client evening that needs a closed door.
Who it suits
Buddha-Bar is the obvious dinner before the Casino, because it is in the same building. It also suits a group that wants a lively room without a club door. For a quieter Italian dinner, Cipriani is a short drive away. If you are flying in, the Nice to Monaco helicopter lands at Fontvieille. The car from there reaches the square in a few minutes.
