C'était dans le temps des dernières fêtes de Noël. J'y suis allé pour acheter une bûche de Noël que j'ai payé aux alentours de 75$. Je trouvais ça dispendieux mais elle était tellement belle & avait l'air tellement bonne que je l'ai prise pour apportez chez des amis qui me recevaient pour le souper. Je n'ai pas dit à personne où je l'avais trouvée mais ils ont deviné que c'était au Duc de Lorraine quand j'ai ouvert la boite. Car elle était vraiment belle & il y avait eu du travail de finition dessus. Mais la déception, j'avais payé cher que pour la beauté de la bûche car le goût était vraiment ordinaire & c'était l'avis unanime de tout le monde. Nous étions 8 & je suis presque certain que personne d'entre nous iront ou retourneront dans mon cas pour une bûche. Il ne faut pas tout leur enlever. Leurs viennoiseries sont excellentes & un très beau menu repas. J'y suis allé à quelques reprises pour un café & un dessert & je n'ai jamais été déçu. 😊
I have been going to this place for over 20 years for various things such as cakes, pastries, breakfast, & even Mother's Day brunches with my mother. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing.
Without any notice, after ordering a $60 plate consisting of a bagel & lobster eggs Benedict, I realized it no longer came with potatoes or fruit, which used to be included as part of the full arrangement. The portion & overall presentation were not what I expected for the price paid.
On top of that, the service was not pleasant & did not reflect the quality of experiences I had in the past. Something has definitely changed over the years.
Be aware - it is very expensive for what you receive.

This place is always a good option! If you want to have breakfast, dinner or just a coffee… you'll receive an excellent service & quality. Some dishes are very basic & pricey for what they are, but the flavours are always very good. Their pancakes are incredible!!
It's has its own style & it's very nice to be there specially during summer when the terrace is open! Cozy, classy, elegant… hidden gem! The waiters & manager will always make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable.
We recently visited Duc de Lorraine & had a mixed experience overall. The sandwiches were good, but extremely buttery. A little too much for my taste, & it didn't sit very well with me afterward. The fries were fine but nothing particularly memorable.
We also tried several of the trompe-l'oeil pastries. At $15 each, they were smaller than we expected. They were decent overall, with the raspberry & mango being the standout flavours. The lemon one was also pretty good. Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't great.
What really made the experience enjoyable was the service. The waiter & staff were all very friendly & welcoming. They joked around with my 8-year-old son & made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. We sat outside on the terrace, which was lovely, & the heat lamps were a nice touch since it was a bit breezy that afternoon.
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
