It instantly brought back memories of visiting Buddha Bar Paris in the noughties, not least because of the massive reclining Buddha that forms the restaurant lounge at the top of the 40-foot ‘Grand’ staircase.
From entering its doors, walking down a long brick walled corridor that provides glimpses of the subterranean restaurant, before being greeted at reception then entering the main room, it takes your breath away as you try and get your head around the expansive multi-level space. The first thing that overwhelms you about Tao Downtown is the enormity of the venue. Tao Downtown is the latest and trendiest restaurant from the Tao group (Ell recalls visiting Tao Uptown just after it had opened many years ago), so we were lucky that they could squeeze us in amongst the cream of New York society. During our recent stay at The Maritime Hotel we found ourselves craving Pan-Asian food, thanks to the tempting room service menu from Tao Downtown, conveniently located underneath the hotel. New York is a melting pot of cuisines, and never more so than in the Meatpacking District where you can find a French café nestled next to a hot dog cart around the corner from a Mexican Taqueria.
