The brand

Maxim’s de Paris, since 1893

The Legend of Maxim’s begins in May 1893. Irma de Montigny, an attractive courtesan, opens the door of a small bistro, located at 3 rue Royale. Just a few days earlier, Maxim’s was founded as a bistro by Maxime Gaillard, formerly a waiter. It becomes the place for ‘gallant’ rendez-vous of the Belle Époque.

THE RESTAURANT

During the occasion of the 1900 Exposition Universelle, it becomes one of the most popular and fashionable restaurants in Paris under its next owner, Eugène Cornuché. By appealing to the popular artists of Nancy School, he transforms the establishment into a true temple of Art Nouveau, now classified as a ‘historical monument in France’.

Maxim’s becomes the indispensable and privileged location for major international celebrities:

Marcel Proust, La Belle Otéro, Maria Callas, Sacha Guitry, as well as Brigitte Bardot, Barbara Streisand, John Travolta, Dita Von Teese, Lady Gaga, and Kylie Minogue, etc.
