A beautiful restaurant with outstanding food and located at basically "el portal" of the castle where the King of France was briefly held. So why not 5*? Unfortunately we had a bad experience when we visited, it may have been due to a wedding or celebration in a private area but the manager at the time was very dismissive and rude. The waitress who initially dealt with us and helped despite her managers attitude, and the quality of the food are why the restaurant still gets a 4. We will return and hopefully get a choice of more than meat or fish from the manager.
