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.

    Fantastic food. Lowered score due to the lamb chop portion size being quite small. Otherwise an excellent meal and experience.

    Thank you for your feedback and support of Chez Max We serve Australian Lamb which is smaller but has tons more flavor than their domestic counterparts which are typically overfed with fillers to increase their size.

    Both of our hot tea starting drinks were lukewarm. Soups were great...crab soup, french onion soup. Dinner entrees were terrific...salmon and veal chop. Potatoes au gratin needed some more flavor. Sorbet and creme brulet for dessert were wonderful. Thanks, we'll be back.

    Chez Max is one of my favorite restaurants in RVA. Armand has been my server almost every time for 18 years. Highly recommend.

    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!
