Best croissant i ever had was in Marseilles. When food is served with little seasoning in Mediterranean countries, it's so you can appreciate the quality of the main ingredient. A plain tomato salad in a good restaurant can be amazing, but you have to pay attention to even appreciate the quality. I'm from Spain and here, heavily seasoned food is often indicative of low quality or not fresh.
Well… Yeah. If you eat at a good restaurant in France you'll get a dish that is supposed to highlight the natural flavor of the ingredients. Not something deep fried, or with tons of spices and flavorings, or tons of sugar. I get how you'd think it's "bland" if you have an american palate as you said, but I wouldn't say it's "bland". It's just that the flavors are subtles instead of being in your face, it's a different approach and philosophy about cuisine where simplicity is showcased. A good croissant for example is exactly what you showed: it's airy, buttery… everything you'd expect from a good croissant. It's simple, but it's well executed and that's what makes it good.
To be fair, the food in the USA does taste better but after a 2 week holiday in the USA, I out on over 12lbs in weight and had some sort of withdrawal symptoms. Who knows what they put in the food to make it taste good.
When I lived in Paris I went to a few high end restaurants with friends, but by far the street kabobs, rotisseries with potatoes and crepes avec jambon, fromage et œuf took the win every time…..
2024 there are 146 3 michelin star restaurants globally. Europe has 86, asia 50, america 10. Dont let this fat hamburger eaters tell you whats good food please.

European food is often bland if you got to mainstream restaurant.
French food is ass except for the pastries and baked goods…Italian food is #1
