Note: According to Wikipedia, Maxime Gaillard opened Maxim's as a bistro in 1893 in Paris, France and it soon became known for its dining and Art Nouveau decor. By 2015, Pierre Cardin owned Maxim's de Paris and the Maxim brand for goods and services. Other Maxim restaurants were opened in Tokyo, London, Shanghai, Beijing, Monaco, Geneva, Brussels, Doha and Hefei.
