History of Maximilian Restaurant

 

Maximilian Restaurant started in 1973 by Miroslav Brandejs and Jana Brandejs, who had emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Toronto. They eventually wound up in Maberly Ontario, where Miroslav was a partner at a restaurant called "Old Europe" with a Polish couple.

 

In the fall of 1973, Miroslav moved to Perth and opened Maximilian's at in The Perth Hotel. The name of the restaurant was inspired by King Maximilian I, who ruled Bavaria from 1806 to 1825.

 

The Brandejs’ tradition of excellence and dedication to serving authentic European cuisine has been carried on today by the current owners and staff of Maximilian Restaurant.
