Bienvenue Chez Max!

Savory aromas drift from the kitchen as one enters the front door, giving a hint of culinary delights to come. The casual and comfortable, yet elegant interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting. A large stone fireplace adorns a corner in the main dining room, casting a soft glow around the room.

We are Richmond’s premier French dining experience. Our menu is a collection of dishes cultivated by a Master French chef. We offer an array of fine wines from around the world, 23 are poured by the glass. Our mixologist boasts an impressive range of signature crafted cocktails and guest favorites.

As we are often fully seated on Fridays and Saturdays, we can only hold a reservation for 15 minutes without advanced notice. We allocate 2 hours for parties of 2 to 5, 2 ½ hours for parties of 6 or more.

    The food, service, and value is excellent! The foies gras was the best that we have ever had in any country, including France. The menu options were difficult to choose from because many entrees sounded amazing. Great wine and dessert selection and my husband said his espresso was authentic! It was our 19th wedding anniversary celebration and Chex Maxx gave us complimentary champagne to toast our anniversary. We will definitely return and we are so happy that we found them!

    Very tasty food and excellent service. Cocktails were on point. I ordered a glass of wine and really enjoyed it, the waiter poured me a little extra. Entrées are delicious. Foie gras appetizer is a bit small but tasty. Overall, we would go to this restaurant again.

    Filets were perfectly prepared and potatoes and green beans a delicious addition. We love sitting next to the fireplace. Our waiter is always helpful, very pleasant and efficient. We enjoy seeing him each visit. It is our favorite special occasion spot, along with other times. Can always depend on an outstanding dinner and experience.
