The story
Buddha-Bar Prague presents a refined pan-Asian kitchen that earned a 2026 Gault & Millau rating for its consistent execution and immersive setting. The menu bridges Japanese precision with Southeast Asian warmth, starting with cold plates like spicy tuna tartare topped with crispy wontons and sriracha. Hot starters such as lobster dumplings arrive in a creamy sauce alongside a light apple salad, establishing a balance between rich textures and fresh acidity.
Grilled items form a core part of the main courses, featuring ribeye steak cooked over robata coals and octopus served with a kizami wasabi potato purée. Seafood takes center stage through maki collections like the dragon roll, which layers barbecued eel and avocado with unagi sauce. Diners can finish the meal with a coconut passion pavlova or a creamy green tea tiramisu that introduces bitter matcha notes against sweet cream.
The venue operates as a performance space where live music and choreographed dance routines accompany dinner service until two in the morning. Bartenders craft drinks to match this theatrical energy, blending London dry gin with saké and vanilla in the Konichiwa cocktail, or mixing peach aperol with lychee sake and prosecco for the Peach Blossom. These beverages provide a sharp contrast to the savory spice profiles found across the menu.
