The outdoor patio was lovely. The service was amazing. The food was utterly terrific - I ordered a weird gorgonzola salad and it was top notch. A true 5-star experience. Hell yes I'll go back.

We’re always looking for great local eats - and the Buddha is one of our regular favs. The huge patio is so awesome during the warm months and the food and staff are always amazing.

Walked by this place two years ago when in town and wanted to try it the next time I was in Sudbury. Well worth it. Staff are friendly. The pizza was the best I've had in years. And enough to take half of it to go. Wine too! If you can't finish your bottle they'll seal it and off you go! In Ontario no less! Who could believe this province had entered the 21st century as regards liquor! This place has all-gender washrooms so it must be LGBTQ friendly. The only drawback was the music in the evening. Too loud and definitely not Mozart. Earlier though it was fine.

Went to Sudbury for work and wanted to find a great place to eat before leaving. I was initially going to go somewhere else, because of the distance and traveling by myself, but I took a leap of faith and decided to go here.I really liked the overall atmosphere, design, and feel of the space. My waitress was helpful and extremely nice. I only gave it four stars, because upon entering, one of the bartenders/hostesses wasn't too friendly. I didn't really have a general understanding of where to go and she didn't seem to care.Overall, food was good and they have A LOT of different beers on tap / mostly craft. Their options change very frequently, so there is a lot of variety.I ordered an old fashioned, Muskoka Detour, Falafel Plate, and a side poutine. Falafel plate was HUGE - had to bring it home, but definitely recommend it as group appetizer.Would still come here again, if I ended up in Sudbury!

Did a quick food stop in Sudbury while driving back to Toronto from Lake Superior Provincial Park and The Laughing Buddha didn’t disappoint. The design of the restaurant is pretty cool, especially their patio, and the food was amazing. I didn’t have any beers but I noticed they have a sweet craft beer selection. Good craft beer spots that have good food are hard to find so kudos to the Buddha. The service was a bit slow tho, must be because they offer a lot of vegan stuff and that slows down the kitchen. Kidding lol

Pretty good food. Sometimes the wait can be long but that's not a problem provided you're with good company. Good beer selection too.

We had a late night pizza and a nacho plate and the food was fantastic. Pizza was like the stone oven pizzas we've had in Italy and the nachos were classic pub fare with plenty of toppings. Olivia, our server, was fun to talk to and she gave us plenty of help with the menu. This is a great place and we even sat on their sidewalk seating and the weather, atmosphere were perfect after a long summer day. Thanks Olivia, you're the best!

Fantastic food with tastes you don't usually find anywhere else. I recommend the Brie Bomb and the Chicken Nova sandwich. The beer selection is second to none, and the bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly. Great atmosphere and feel, patio is comfortable and there are many seating options. Renovations look amazing too! Truly the best place downtown for a drink and a meetup

The breakfast here is extremely good limited options but the options are exceptional. Vegan options as well. Dinner is just as good here with a very nice patio and plenty of dinner options.

Great dining experience. Very affordable, and great staff. I loved the sandwich I got, which was the Bela Lugosi. Their Caesar was also delicious. However, the appetizer I got left a bit to be desired. They were the Jalapeno Poppers and they were a bit lacking in terms of taste, but they were still OK at the least.

Questions & Answers

No music. No cover. Not sure how late the kitchen is open.

Yup, there is no age restriction for this place.

Depends on the time of day you go. Call first

Basically I was ignored by employees looking at their phones instead of paying attention to my needs. My tip steadily dropped from 25% down to 20, 15 and the 10%. Sure look at your phones all you want. If I spend a hundred dollars at your bar your tip will go from 25$ down to 10$.
