MAXIM'S

Maxim’s in Paris was founded as a bistro by Maxime Gaillard. It became one of the most popular and fashionable restaurants in Paris under its later owner, Eugene Cornuché. The restaurant was immensely popular with international celebrities such as Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, the Duke of Windsor. Later fashion designer Pierre Cardin bought Maxim’s and he created an Art Nouveau museum. The restaurant was known in particular for its magnificent selection of old wines and ancient cognacs.
