Well Le Cinq in particular had a scandalously bad (and very entertaining) review from a very well known restaurant critic questioning how the hell it had 3 stars: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/apr/09/le-cinq-paris-restaurant-review-jay-rayner https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyl...
So maybe trust your gut more?
I've only ever eaten at one restaurant with one star (Hisop in Barcelona) and it was wonderful, but I don't think there's any reason to think the Michelin ratings are a perfect system.

He had a comically bad time at "The Polo Lounge" at the Dorchester recently too: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/aug/15/the-polo-lounge-at-the-dorchester-hotel-dismal-food-at-eye-popping-prices-restaurant-review https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/aug/15/the-polo-lounge...
