History

Since 2019, Le Jule Verne's cuisine has been led by chef Frédéric Anton, who succeeded Louis Grondard (1983), Alain Reix (1992) and Alain Ducasse (2007).^[1] All these chefs were awarded a Michelin Guide star in the restaurant.^[2]

Louis Vaudable, who used to be the owner of Le Jules Verne, now owns Maxim's in the 8th arrondissement.

The interior was designed by Aline Asmar d'Amman.^[3]

On July 13, 2017, Le Jules Vernes received the French and American presidential couples (Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron; Melania and Donald Trump) for a dinner.^[4]

After restoration works that lasted several months, the restaurant was reopened on July 20, 2019.^[5]
