Description
From an unassuming start, the legendary Maxim’s restaurant was founded as a bistro in 1893 by Maxime Gaillard, a former waiter. After gaining its characteristic Art Nouveau décor under its second owner, it soon became one of the most popular and fashionable restaurants in Paris. Today, Maxim’s is a landmark, known worldwide for its long history, iconic style, and reputation for gathering top names and talents within its walls across the years.
Here, Assouline captures the highlights of this cultural icon, tracking the rise of the most famous and at one point, most expensive restaurant in the world; a recognizable institution that has made appearances in artwork, movies, and literature. Tracing its noteworthy history, Maxim’s mirrors the life of the times, existing as a reminder of names and events and notable moments of times gone by.
