Everything about our experience felt well organized & pleasant. The staff were polite, the ordering process was simple, & the food arrived fresh & delicious. The atmosphere added a nice touch too. I'd happily return in the future.
What a dessert experience I had! The place was beautiful, the desserts were all nicely laid out. I found the little treats very hard to refuse. Ended up having quite a few niche dessert items. The staff were professional, but the service could be a bit quicker.

On s'y est arrêté par hasard parce que peu de choses dans les alentours. L'accueil & le service ont été excellents, tous les serveurs sont efficaces & adorables. En revanche grosse déception sur la cuisine à la vue des prix pratiqués (viande & tartare) ainsi que sur les desserts commandés, notamment le trompe l'oeil mangue que je n'ai pas pu finir (fade).
Une ambiance chic, un service rapide & un paradis de plats réconfortants ainsi que d'excellentes pâtisseries & viennoiseries. Je vous recommande le croissant à la pistache & à la framboise, paré de caramel, avec un café double : doux moment. Plus cher que d'ordinaire, mais le prix est vite oublié.
Been here twice & the service was good. They were attentive, polite & friendly. The place itself feels nice & elegant, a perfect spot to go out on a date. I mainly tried their pasteries & some drinks. They were good, especially their Krookie but for the price offered, its not really worth it. Thats just my opinion. I do recommend trying this spot out for a flavorful experience!
Visited Duc de Lorraine & had a very nice experience! The outdoor terrace is definitely better than the indoor seating, especially with the beautiful direct view of Saint Joseph's Oratory. The place is very clean, & the waiters are elegant, welcoming, & always greeting guests with a smile.
The desserts & croissants looked absolutely delicious . we tried the Paris brest dessert & the crème brûlée, both were excellent. A bit on the expensive side, but overall a lovely experience & worth visiting for the atmosphere, pastries, & view.
Elegant & welcoming atmosphere. The pastries & desserts are fresh, delicate, & beautifully made. Everything tastes high quality & authentically French. I had breakfast there with friends & truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Food was fantastic & the desserts! We came back the next morning. So many pastry options- our large group tried a variety & enjoyed every single order. For the meal, O had steak & frites- it was delicious! & the shrimp pasta was savory, not over-the-top with sauce, & loved that none of these dishes were too salty like restaurants I've encountered in California. Charli (not sure if I spelled his name correctly), our server, who works at night was fantastic & hilarious! He managed several tables & our large 15 people party well! Our group enjoyed our time very much & had a wonderful, lovely dinner.
Overrated cafe with poor quality desserts & drinks
Stopped by here because of all the great reviews & simply did not understand the hype. The desserts looked unpolished & tasted mediocre. Had the highly recommended mille feuille & the custard had an intense egg taste, whatever the dessert is topped with tasted like a very sugary fondue layer, & it didn't feel like the mille feuille was fresh. The plain croissant & the pain au chocolat were pretty good & would be the only things I'd maybe recommend here. Espresso & americano were awful as the beans were burnt, the price is insane for that kind of quality. Staff were awesome & you can tell they put in a lot of effort to ensure the service is great. However the place was very chaotic as there's no proper guest management/directions, so everyone is trying to figure out how to order takeout & where to go for dine in. Wouldn't bother coming here again, there are so many better french pastry/dessert places in Montreal
Les pâtisseries sont bonnes mais la cuisine est très inégale comme les smash burgers & les salades , tartares aussi , les drinks & vins sont très dispendieux, la place est belle par contre avec de la vieille musique francaise.

Duc de Lorraine is a beautiful Parisian-style pastry shop that offers an amazing selection of high-quality desserts & pastries. We tried a variety including croissants, trompe-l'oeil pastries, & macarons, & everything was visually stunning & delicious.
The almond chocolate croissant was absolutely incredible-soft, smooth, rich, & perfectly chocolaty with a sweet almond flavor that melts in your mouth. The raspberry cheesecake-filled croissant was also very good, with a nice balance of fruity & creamy flavors. The mango trompe-l'oeil pastry was another highlight-creative, fresh, & beautifully presented.
We also tried a selection of macarons, which were tasty & well-made with great texture & flavor variety.
Overall, the quality & presentation are excellent, & the experience feels very premium. The only downside is that the prices are a bit on the expensive side. It would feel even better value if either the portion sizes were slightly larger or the pricing was a bit more affordable.
Still, it's a wonderful place for anyone who loves French pastries & elegant desserts-definitely worth trying at least once.
I saw this place recommended on social media, but the taste was honestly disappointing. The mango cake's cream was far too watery-almost like liquid. The other cake was better, though. That said, the staff were very friendly & the service was great.
