Hi John,

You're right, it does take an effort to keep things up to standard, but I fear the problem at Chez Maitre Paul is that it doesn't have a crowd of regulars anymore who'd insist on same. I know I'll go back eventually, because I love that chicken so much, and hopefully the kitchen will get serious again.
Best, Alec

Alec,sorry to hear about Chez Maitre Paul,which we had enjoyed several times,and is, to my knowledge the only real Franche-Comte restaurant in Paris. It was the kind of place to send my 25 year old daughter with confidence when she was alone in Paris. The chicken with jura wine,cream and morilles was great.But it takes effort to keep things to a standard. I know what you mean about the Japanese joints across the street. One night the owner of one was dining at ChezMP and invited me back for some karaoke. Since then I've learned a Japanese song, Yosaku,so I'll be ready to wow them if ever invited again.
