About Laughing Buddha
Laughing Buddha brings modern, international-style food to the Lower Vogeltown area, making it a handy stop for anyone eating out in New Plymouth. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most inner-city accommodation.
Diners come here for modern, international-style food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as slow-cooked lamb. It is one of 16 international venues we list in New Plymouth.
Opening hours for Laughing Buddha have not been confirmed on our listing yet. As with many restaurants in New Zealand, trading hours can change with the seasons and public holidays, so we recommend calling ahead before you visit.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $40–$70 a head at a restaurant like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
