Where Can I Wear Opera Gloves & Eat Steak-Frites? - Paris - The Infatuation

"Maxim’s has always been a place to see and be seen, and that holds just as true following its recent revival. The Belle Epoque details are alive and well, with stained glass and gorgeous murals lining the walls behind the velvet banquettes. While these days, there’s more athleisure than opera gloves in the dining room, you’re still in for an astounding show. Tiny tasselled lamps provide just enough light to choose from old-school French classics you won’t find in most modern restaurants, like garlicky frogs’ legs or ethereal cheese soufflé. And tableside service of lemony sole grenobloise or crêpes suzette en flambée only adds to the spectacle of the ever-changing live music offering on the central stage." - emily monaco
