Food was great & wonderful! Only drawback was the wait time for our table. We made a reservation & came early, & only got seated 15 minutes after or reservation… the area to sit in was really cramped(it was only the indoors area). You're seated 1 foot away from the other table, & people will bump you when they walk by. I hit & got hit by so many people & waiters.

I had a great experience having the best onion soup & lemon pie at this Bistro last Good Friday. I've been visiting for 20 years & I never hesitate to recommending them! It is an iconic place in Montreal & I was really touched when one of the owners came to my table & thank me for being a loyal client . She showed me appreciation & she just made my day with this gesture . Nice wine selection & beautiful decor ! Thank you !
La boutique est superbe mais le menu est moyen & dispendieux 200$ pour un petit déjeuner 3 personnes c'est excessif. Toutefois le service est impeccable
Nous avons passé un excellent moment chez vous ! Le service était impeccable & le repas excellent. Charlie était incroyable, il nous a mis super à l'aise & merci à Renedie aussi pour la bonne humeur & les belles photos.
J'ai eu le plaisir de travailler avec l'équipe de Duc de Lorraine pour un événement familial très spécial: les fiançailles de ma petite soeur. L'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin.
Les desserts étaient non seulement magnifiques, mais aussi absolument délicieux. Le gâteau, le croquembouche & la tour de macarons ont fait sensation auprès de tous nos invités!
Un merci tout particulier à Iris, qui a été à l'écoute, patiente & d'une grande gentillesse tout au long du processus. Elle a su comprendre ma vision & la réaliser encore plus joliment que je ne l'imaginais.
Un service impeccable & un savoir-faire remarquable. Je recommande sans hésitation
L'esthétique est vraiment leur force par contre tout le reste est médiocre.
Pour commencer les prix sont absolument ridicules pour une qualité très moyenne. Plus de 10$ pour un croissant?? C'est pas de la nourriture mais un investissement rendu là...
Il semble aussi clairement y avoir un problème avec la gestion & les propriétaires. Juste allez voir les commentaires désastreux des employés & le taux de'turnover'. Ça en dit long sur l'ambiance en arrière scène.
Au final c'est une image peaufinée mais la réalité est tout autre. À éviter.
service & coffee top notch but the pastries were lower than expected
they were sweeter than expected not every thing looked fresh! the cake wasn't as sweet & tasted good.

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!
