Quite sadly, I completely agree with you re Le Grand Vefour, which could and should be so magical, but is presently way off the mark.

Best, Alec

The room is beautiful, but the service and the cooking felt forced and phoned in. SO not worth the money!

Best, Karen

the Maison Blanche, which is awful, and Le Boeuf sur le Toit, ditto.

Does anyone have other examples of sad-case Paris restaurants they’d like to share?

One of my top saddest addresses would have to be La Coupole, which could be so good, but is just abysmal.

Cheers, Alec

It used to be wonderful for tripe a la mode de Caen and pommes souffles, but for the past 15 years, it’s been one revamp after another.
