Opinions of Duc de Lorraine describe a refined Parisian vibe with an impressive array of pastries and desserts that many reviewers call among the best in Montreal, from oversized croissants to intricate trompe l'oeil creations and a tarte au citron that draws rave comments. The bakery and cafe blend an elegant, cozy atmosphere near Oratoire Saint Joseph with consistently attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel welcome whether celebrating a birthday, enjoying a luxurious brunch, or stopping in for pastry and coffee. The food and desserts are praised for quality and presentation, and the overall experience is often described as charming, polished, and memorable, with a sense that the place truly delivers on its reputation.

Bonjour, je viens de recevoir ma commande par livraison. J'ai commander le trompe l'oeil croissant. Je trouve ça overrated parce que la cosse est fine, la mousse goute pas vraiment la vanille, au fond y a une couche de gateau pas rapport & puis, le caramel que tout le monde parle, y en a juste un filet. Breff tout ça pour dire que c'est trop petit pour la facture de 15$. J'avais des attentes. C'est plate a dire mais je suis très deçu. A oui & je rajoute que mon deuxieme achat qui est un oeufs fruit de la passion est très bien malgré la taille minime & le prix de 15$, donc je regrette pas mon oeuf.
The pastries themselves are amazing (I've tried the chocolatines + various small cakes & treats) & I can see why the specialty & artistic pieces are priced so high, however the baked good staples of croissants/chocolatines/basic cakes, etc are NOT worth the high price tag this place charges. I would only say these are worth it as a nice gift to others, or if you get them on a discount such as through Too Good to Go.

Sajjad's service is even more fantastic than the food if possible!!! I come often here because of vibes, views, service & the food!! Worth every penny!!!!
Thank you Sajjad & Duc de Lorraine!
Nice cozy restaurant but the heating in winter is way too high that at some point we were feeling dizzy. Food was good & so was the dessert but nothing exceptional.
However for such a restaurant the quality of the service is really bad.
I think the owner needs to get properly trained staff who can also understand English. The waiters seem confused all the time & even we changed to French language they seem to have difficulty understanding. The menu is not a big one & yet they made mistake in our order. & I don't understand why it took them forever to bring the dessert (which are already displayed next door) & again they made mistake in the order.
For spending over $350 I would expect much better service from that restaurant.
Overall bit of a disappointment!

Disclaimer: too expensive.
Wonderful experience! Extremely welcoming & polite servers, in a great atmosphere. Food was immaculate but also TOOO expensive. Expect bougie service & food.
The pastry is amazing OH MY GOD!
update: after several visits, I can confidently say that though food quality is quite good, same food & pastry quality is offered in other places for fraction of the price.
Nous sommes allés souper à votre restaurant, mon conjoint & moi, & nous avons grandement apprécié notre expérience. C'était notre deuxième visite, & encore une fois, nous avons été charmés.
Cette fois-ci, nous vous avions demandé un petit service de dernière minute afin de réaliser un gender reveal intime entre nous deux, & vous avez relevé ce défi avec délicatesse.
Nous tenons à remercier tout particulièrement Rosalie, notre serveuse, ainsi qu'Augustin, le barman, pour le gâteau & le mocktail surprise que vous nous avez préparés. Votre attention & votre implication ont rendu ce moment encore plus spécial.
Nous sommes extrêmement reconnaissants d'avoir pu vivre un moment aussi important pour nous avec vous.
Merci encore pour tout ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Their dessert was yummy, not too sweet! A bit pricey but definitely worth it for the quality. There were so many options to choose from, I would definitely come back to try them!
Today we visited Duc de Lorraine & we absolutely did not like it. We tried two desserts - pear & raspberry. The pear lacked flavor & was completely unremarkable, while the raspberry had some tartness but overall was just okay, nothing impressive. Honestly, everything looks much better than it tastes.
& the CUTLERY - just awful. I've never seen tableware so scratched anywhere before. It was covered in deep scratches & unpleasant even to touch. It's honestly embarrassing. Overall, our expectations were much higher than what we actually received.
