About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

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, over 20 are poured by the glass.

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. All orders must be back to our kitchen 30 minutes prior to the listed closing time.

As always an excellent time at Chez Max. Oliver shines as food and wine ambassador. Troy made me a lime champagne mojito which was fantastic. In the past he made me a sambuca 75, also fantastic. Roland, Brian (the owner) and all the staff are friendly, professional and make the event an outstanding experience. I need to make another reservation!

Had not been here in many years. Dinner for 4 was lovely and the service was excellent which makes this special. The waiter anticipated our every need by paying attention to reactions, etc. Will definitely return and will definitely check out the bar which is a lovely cozy spot with a bar menu as well.

Not sure if life is a banquet or a cabaret but you're going to have a good time at Chez Max. Oliver continues to shine as food and wine ambassador; Troy does a great job at the bar and the chef turns out fantastic delights. We've been almost 50 times and look forward to more! All the staff are friendly and present impeccable service. It's like being in a food and wine resort with friends. Definitely won't starve if you go to Chez Max you will enter and leave happy! Make a reservation and partake of an amazing culinary experience soon.

Wonderful dining experience! From our waiter, Richard, who was attentive and allowed us to well pace our meal and laughing/chatting with friends; to the superb meal (one got the pork chop, another the salmon stuffed with crab, another the duck and the last the sea bass ~ ALL were delicious!!! Sides of au gratin potatoes (we could have licked the dish!), asparagus and mushrooms were perfect! And the wine …. Such a great wine menu with many delicious choices. Wish we had room for dessert ….
