NEW YEAR’S EVE

Press to view our prices and Booking Form

In honour of the duality that has made the Buddha-Bar brand a global phenomenon, this glittering, 1950s-styled East meets West extravaganza has been inspired by two of the most iconic films of the 20th century: Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor and John Huston’s Moulin Rouge.

For one night only Buddha-Bar London will star in its very own cinematic masterpiece, fusing the glamour and glitz of 1950s Paris, a period which saw the iconic Moulin Rouge undergo a remarkable metamorphosis, with the incredible events that would change mid-twentieth century China forever. It’s lights, camera, action as this Knightsbridge haunt unveils a production filled with fine food and champagne; spectacular amusements and jaw-dropping surprises.

The two floors of Buddha-Bar London will be transformed into completely separate areas - Dynasty and Forbidden - each one imbued with an atmosphere that is at once surreal and decadent. Buddha-Bar’s chefs have been hard at work conjuring up delectable menus that will include such mouth-watering delicacies as Seared scallop with yuzu and glazed shiso miso & crowned with caviar; Wagyu Fillet with shimeji mushroom, wafu sauce & truffle butter and Oven baked Canadian lobster with kimchi broth & mizuna salad. In keeping with the theme of the evening, courses will be accompanied by sake, whilst each party of four will also receive a complimentary bottle from one of the great French champagne houses to celebrate as the clock strikes midnight.

Complementing this dazzling culinary offering is a programme of entertainment that will again ensure all guests have an unforgettable immersive experience. A casino and hidden carnival-style fair, cocktail trolleys dispensing absinthe and champagne, a chinese quartet, a performance from Moulin Rouge’s very own infamous Diamond Dog Dancers and a balloon drop are just some of the many treats in store.

Add into the line-up a Master of Ceremonies who will direct proceedings on both floors and Buddha-Bar London’s celebrated DJs with a mixture of Asian and Parisian inspired beats and the scene is set for a truly extraordinary evening.

Tickets for Buddha-Bar’s Forbidden New Year’s Eve Spectacular are available now, priced from £80 per person. Tailor-made for parties of all sizes, the various options include complimentary car collection for tables of eight or more.
