The food at Castle was perfectly nice, and the menu de délice was very good value and I can recommend. However, sadly one problem marred our trip. My partner, who does not eat pork by religion, asked for the burger which, on the menu, did not have bacon in the ingredients. When it came, after she had already taken a couple of bites we realised it actually had bacon on.

We had a 3 course lunch for 22 euros at another place at Pierrefonds, just...

After dinner, I immediately booked another reservation for the next day. I was afraid that not being able to speak French would be a problem, but no, staff was very friendly and patient (so some language barrier is not a big deal nowadays as long as people are willing to communicate), and even offered to help me call for taxi on the next day for my return trip.
