Maltese businesses Azzopardi group and Salv Group have teamed up to launch Malta’s first Buddha-Bar in the heart of St Julian’s following an investment of over €6 million.
Buddha-Bar is an international global luxury dining and lifestyle brand that started off in Paris in 1996 and has since expanded to destinations such as Dubai, Monte-Carlo, Prague, Marrakech, and Mykonos.
“What you see here today is the result of more than a year of hard work, an investment of over €6 million, and above all, a great deal of passion," said Joseph Azzopardi, speaking on behalf of Azzopardi Group and Salv Group.
"Our vision was to bring something truly special to Malta - a destination where exceptional food, music, atmosphere, and service come together. This is a proud moment for all of us, and it marks the beginning of an exciting journey as we bring this iconic global brand to the island.”
The new establishment can seat up to 250 guests and combines Asian-inspired cuisine, creative mixology, striking interiors and vibrant lounge music to St Julian’s.
Prime Minister Robert Abela and Opposition Leader Alex Borg both attended the launch.
