Summer chic hits the bar

THE BOUTIQUE and bar/restaurant that will enchant stylish and hip Filipinos with an atmosphere that caters to all senses.

Buddha Bar, the opulent three-story complex, is finally in Manila. Since it opened in 1996 in Paris, the exotic establishment has been a hit in different parts of the world—Cairo, Monte Carlo, Dubai and Prague, among others.

With its lush hues of red and gold, 18th-century-style balustrades, and Portuguese mosaics, guests must surely feel like dressing to the nines.

As the sizzling summer months loom, ladies, look your best in the season’s floral trend, and men, make sure to look spiffy in slick yet relaxed ensemble.

Buddha Bar is at Picar Place, Kalayaan Ave., Makati, and is open seven days a week from 3 p.m. until 3 a.m. Visit www.buddhabarmanila.com.es.
