LE RESTAURANT
Maxim’s had been founded in Paris as a bistro in 1893 by Maxime Gaillard, formerly a waiter. It became one of the most popular and fashionable restaurants in Paris under its next owner, Eugene Cornuché. He gave the dining room its Art Nouveau decor.
It was during the fifties, sixties, and seventies that Maxim's, under the management of Louis Vaudable, became the most famous restaurant in the world but one of the most expensive ones as well.
The restaurant was also immensely popular with international celebrities such as Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, the Duke of Windsor, Brigitte Bardot , Jeanne Moreau, Barbara Streisand. Fashion designer Pierre Cardin bought Maxim’s and he created an Art Nouveau museum.
