Buddha Bar, Paris

Here in California we have sushi everywhere and it's excellent. To stand in a line where people won't look at you is definitely not what I find fabulous about Buddha Bar. The good is marginal (sushi is much better here), but it is a fad there. It is the place to see and be seen in Place De Madeleine. The restaurant is outrageously expensive and don't even think about going without a reservation. When you aren't dressed appropriately on a Friday night they won't even let you in. They make you stand outside with the rest of the bummy crowd. Only people that are rich and those that look good and rich get in. The music is incredible, and the service is the worst I have ever had in ANY of my traveling experience. It is a must go to see the interior design and to pick up their fabulous yet overpriced CD's.
