Hand me this receipt in a bar in Paris after I order four bottles of beer:
Next time I’ll order wine.

Kind of puts my €5 for a diet coke poured from a litre bottle into perspective.
But I suppose the wonderful staff into the Buddha made up for it

Buddha Bar prices are expensive alright, but you are not just paying for the drinks. I love the atmosphere and the decor. Their ‘Bar Food’ ie Sushi/Sashimi is superb, but of course, again it is expensive. The music/DJ are normally top class. I have been there a few times, and I always see it as a treat of a night out, but I do drink slowly. I don’t have any kept receipts, but even if I did, I am not sure that I should post them.

The bar in Paris was an empty dark cavern with no bar food, no music and neo-nazis with walkie-talkies for staff.
Restaurant was very busy and lit entirely by candles. Good for rich ugly people I guess.

Ah, don’t ya just love Paris and how expensive it can be sometimes, mind you from my recollection Helsinki was even more expensive for booze!

We had a booking for dinner at the Buddha Bar one night a year or two ago. We arrived and were shown to our table and then were promptly ignored for 30 minutes, despite trying to wave down waiters. We left.

Ah, that’s what my review is going to be all about. Looks like it wasn’t a once off that we suffered then.
