Reviews
Without question, the décor is absolutely outstanding. From the moment you step inside, you feel transported back to the 1920s–30s, beautifully complemented by period music that completes the atmosphere. The setting alone makes the experience feel special and memorable.
The food was also very good. I started with oysters with caviar, which were absolutely magical and highly recommended. For the main course, I chose the duck, which was well prepared and enjoyable, though not particularly exceptional.
Unfortunately, the service was a significant disappointment. We waited a long time for our food to arrive, my order was mixed up twice, and after asking for water four times, it finally arrived about 30 minutes later. To make matters worse, the bill did not add up, as an unexplained extra charge appeared.
It was also my birthday celebration, which had been clearly indicated during the reservation process. However, this was not acknowledged upon arrival, and I had to double-check whether the note had even been received.
I do believe the staff were doing their best, but the restaurant was clearly understaffed that day. This is something management should seriously review, as the level of service did not match the reputation, price point, or otherwise beautiful experience Maxim’s is known for.
The atmosphere is classic and timeless, exactly what you’d expect from a Parisian icon. A special mention to our waitress, who looked like Brigitte Bardot, she was genuinely smiley, warm, and made the experience even more enjoyable.
Honestly, just writing this review is making me hungry again. A place I’ll always come back to.
Stepping into Maxim’s de Paris during the Christmas period felt like walking straight into a gilded dream.
What started as an impromptu lunch quickly unfolded into something unforgettable—Art Nouveau curves, jewel-toned carpets, glowing lamps, and that unmistakable sense of old-world Parisian grandeur.
The festive season only amplified the magic, making the dining room feel even more theatrical, indulgent, and alive with history.
Over lunch, time seemed to slow down as we soaked in the opulence, the impeccable service, and the feeling of being part of a Parisian ritual that has endured for generations.
It was one of those rare, unplanned moments that turn into core memories—elegant, decadent, and deeply satisfying. A long-standing bucket-list dream quietly checked, and one I’ll always associate with Christmas in Paris.
The food was surprisingly good and lived up to match the ambience and reputation of the restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved it. Service was excellent!
If only we had made a reservation earlier for the restaurant as week.
