What a day we had!
On the 13th of July, we celebrated Bastille Day here at Chez Max, and we just had to share how incredible it was.
The day started with a free punch for everyone — a refreshing treat that set the tone for what turned out to be a truly joyful celebration. Throughout the afternoon, the terrace filled with the sounds of live jazz and the beautiful voice of a French singer, bringing a little taste of France right to the heart of Dublin.
We spent the day chatting with tourists, locals, and lots of French people living in Dublin — all stopping by to enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and of course, a glass of punch. It was amazing to see such a diverse crowd coming together, smiling, singing along, and celebrating.
Later in the evening, we handed out raffle tickets to 30 lucky guests, and Max picked a winner from the hat. The prize? A chilled bottle of rosé champagne — the perfect way to end the day on a sparkling note!
And yes, there was crème brûlée — smooth, creamy, caramelised perfection. Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be Bastille Day at Chez Max without it.
With drinks, food, music, and plenty of French flags, the entire day was a real success, and we are still smiling from all the wonderful people we got to meet and celebrate with.
Thanks a million to everyone who joined us — we loved every minute of it, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year!
À très bientôt,The Team at Chez Max
