Maxim's, Belle Époque restaurant in 8th arrondissement, Paris, France
Maxim's is a fine dining establishment on Rue Royale featuring Art Nouveau interiors with red velvet banquettes, copper lighting, and mirrored walls accented in gold throughout the space. The building spans several floors and integrates dining areas with exhibition spaces.
The bistro opened in 1893 and underwent major renovation in the late 1890s to achieve its current Art Nouveau appearance. This transformation aligned with broader design movements happening in Paris at that time.
The restaurant became a meeting place for Parisian high society, artists, and international visitors throughout the 20th century. Its reputation shaped how many people viewed fine dining in the French capital.
The location sits near Concorde and Madeleine metro stations, offering convenient public transport access. Advanced reservations are recommended, particularly for the main dining room experience.
The upper floors house collections of Art Nouveau furniture, jewelry, and decorative objects from around 1900. Visitors can explore these items while moving through different parts of the establishment.
