Maxim's de Paris Reviews
Beautiful but even better with change of music.
So lovely beautiful place. But the music in the bar should be replaced. Now it is lounge music. Not at all what you expect in such a historical fantastic restaurant.
Like it has already been pointed out in other reviews, not
Like it has already been pointed out in other reviews, not sure what the hype really is all about!!! I had high expectations for Maxim's, given its reputation, but my experience was far from enjoyable. The overly dark theme made the interior fe
Legendary
Salvador Dali's fave restaurant. Beautiful building and fantastic food. We had a magical time at this elegant, timeless, treasure.
Night Cap
We went to Maxim's for the atmosphere, but we stayed for the unique cocktails. The elaborate Belle Epoque style was mesmerizing. We spent our time in the bar upstairs, which was warm and inviting. Both our server and the bartender were welcoming
Awful service.
Hostess was nice but the manager and director were very, very unfriendly. Would avoid this place it's a tourist trap
Disappointed Experience at a Legendary Spot
We had high expectations for Maximâs, given its rich history and iconic reputation in Paris. Unfortunately, the experience didnât live up to the hype. The service was inattentive and slow, with staff appearing disengaged and indifferent. Our blon
Fame Doesnât Excuse Disrespect
I had one of the worst dining experiences of my life at Maximâs in Paris. From the moment we placed our order, we were treated with visible disdain. We werenât very hungry, so we ordered a starter each and a side dish, planning to maybe order de
Birthday at Maximâs
When I was in Paris as a 21 year-old, my father would not take me to Maximâs on my birthday so for a long time (59 years) I waited to go to Maxineâs âŠ.On my 80th birthday last month my daughter treated me to a trip to Paris and one of the thing
Disappointing Experience at Maximâs Paris â A Far Cry from Its Legacy
We were truly disappointed with our recent dinner at Maximâs Paris. Staff were incredibly pushy, constantly pressuring us to order more dishes we didnât want. It felt less like a luxury dining experience and more like being upsold at every turn.
Donât Waste Your Time If You Want Good Food
I was very excited to visit this restaurant, as its name precedes itself. However, I was extremely disappointed by my experience. When I arrived for my 10pm reservation, I had to wait more than 15 minutes to be seated. Once seated, my husband & I
Rude miserable and unhappy
Only 2 staff l! Rude , tired and unhappy!! Made the entire experience horrendous I cannot believe how rude they were Food was ok , but for the price to be expected !! The biggest scam in paris!!
Came here with my suit and eveything they require.
The steak came absolutely RAW, I've never seen a chef cook a steak so raw in my life. Then they recooked the same peace I cut and it was the most rubbery thing I've ever eaten in my life. The duck salad had three peaces of duck in it I kid
Visited 05/15/2025 Not sure what all the hype is about.
Ok, so it's an "institution", but to me it was a bit too stuffy and overpriced. Clearly some LOVE the decor and ambiance, but me, not so much... Dark... old... hummm, kinda like me! Wonder why I don't like it! Anyway, I will say
Maxim's is a French institution.
The ambience is elegant. Check out my video of the empty front room which showcases the beauty of this space. All the diners were in the larger back room. Service was attentive and they accommodated my gluten intolerance with gluten free bread which

We enjoyed the roasted chicken ( whole) for two which came with roasted potatoes. The maitre d carved the bird for us. Our server, Anais, was very helpful and smiled a lot. There was a live jazz band Maxim's was recently renovated and looks
Read a lot of hype about this place.
It certainly lived up to its reputation. The inside vibe and ambience is old-school dark woods, sultry music. If that isn't enough the food was outstanding. Only drawbacks were dress code wasn't enforced people in line ahead of us in te

I really loved the interior design of Maxim's--it was an aesthetic dream, especially with the live jazz performance. They also make a mean Negroni, and I can see why this place has stood the test of time with its classic accommodations and rich

Chose this spot to celebrate my 30th birthday and I must say the experience was amazing. Waitress Joy made sure to make it special, and brought out a small pastry with a candle. The ambiance was soo romantic and loved their decor. Food and cocktails
If I could give this a zero- I would.
I have traveled the world over and NEVER experienced a more rude hostess than at Maxims.If you are American don't eat here. Horrible. When we arrived (with a reservation- they had us in the system Then later said we arrived without a "book
A Birthday Night to Rememberr
The visit was for my husband's birthday and Maxim's did not disappoint. The courtesy of the staff, particularly our young waiter, were as we expected and the food we chose was excellent. I have only one criticism. We are in our 80s and do know how
Terrible
Bullies small businesses. Threatens to sue Maxiâs who help to feed those who cannot afford food during the current economic state in the UK, for using the name, thatâs not even similar to theirs. Disgusting
no thanks
Would not recommend, better off spending your money elsewhere, would be a better bang for your buck. Food was decent, but not compared to the price
Maxiâs if better
Terrible food, very bland. Do not eat here unless you want to feel sick for days after. Maybe the chefs should try Maxiâs seasoning to improve the taste, it looks very nice.
Dogshit
complete shitshow, server started sexually harrassing my partner. Also got served raw chicken and told to not complain
Old School Glamour and Great Food
This was Dali's fave restaurant in Paris and there are lots of pictures of him there. The whole experience was magical. The main dining room is festive and a woman came out and played piano and sang. It was lovely. Our dinner and dessert were del
Grandma was rapped
My grandma was rapped by a worker avoid unless you want to be rapped all they did is offer a 10 euro gift card as a apology disgusting
rude staff.
its already overpriced and you get treated so badly. Food was ok. wont come back again
Ate here once and got very sick!!
Disgusting, ate here once and got incredibly sick, I think the chicken I ordered may have been sick. Also had awful service, waiters were rude and snobby.
So upsetting
They threatened to push my nan down the stairs because she's celiac and they don't think it's real don't recommend awful staff, manager never apologised
Do not visit here
Absolutely rubbish overpriced , would not recommend anyone go here . Rude staff to top the whole experience off . Please avoid at all costs
Bullies
Bullying a smaller company out of there name knowing they can't afford the legal battle!!! Shame on you no one's ever getting maxis and maxim de Paris mixed up Will be finding somewhere else to host business meals ( food wasn't that great any way)
Donât waste your hard earned money
Below average cuisine, made worse when I was told by the waiter that they are currently in a trademark legal battle with a small English brand which name does not sound or look the same at all! Ludicrous! Stay away!
Poor
Under average not worth the money, crap food, over charged, rude staff, place is filthy toilets stink, avoid and go somewhere else
pathetic excuse for a restaurant
PATHETIC LOSERS. LEAVE MAXIS ALONE!!!! you all need to stop hiding cos your insecure that someone else who has a somewhat similar name is doing better than you. you should drop the complaint and go on like adults. the fact your refusing to negotiate
Poor ownership
Owner was very rude and overcharged our bill and refused to take it off, the food was standard but overpriced I recommended no one goes there
Such a wonderful experience! Its absolutely iconic.
You can picture the famous celebrities who frequented this place. Very dimly lit and romantic. Excellent food and service. There was a small band with a singer that added to its charm. One of my favorite memories of Paris dining.
OMG - what a great time! I didn't realize there was live
OMG - what a great time! I didn't realize there was live entertainment. The band was this amazing woman singer and three men and she belt out the songs. Such an entertainer. I literally had the biggest smile on my face as they took us to our seat
The food was excellent.
The ambience was excellent. The wine was excellent. The waiter was excellent. I don't know why it doesn't have higher reviews probably because of the clientele is mostly Parisian and they suck.

Was a great experience, we had a party of 7.
I enjoyed the appetizers more the the main course. For appetizers had scallops and the caviar. Scallops cooked perfect and the caviar was really good. I had the chicken as my main course was moist in a sauce that enhanced the flavor, but was just chi

Beautiful restaurant with such historical significance and decorations. Once you step inside, it feels like you traveled back in time to the 1920's. The service is good but the food is average. The quality of the food is good; however, the taste is n

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Maxim's de Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Maxim's de Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Maxim's de Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Maxim's de Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
