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.
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.

So friends, I spent my 6th year anniversary here with my fiancé & it was wonderful. Music & vibes were elegant & I loved every second of it.
The tromple d'oeil was phenomenal & delicious. I got to try the cacao & the mango along with the Ferrero rocher cake. They were fresh & delicious. Just another note, one of the patisserie was sprinkled with silver flakes & I loved that little touch.
This year my birthday cake wasn't just a cake-it was the centerpiece of the celebration & made the day feel extra special.Hands down, one of the best birthday cakes I've ever had!
The service was not so great at duc de loraine as the people who should be assisting customers seems too busy doing other stuff than talking to their customers & no smile , seems like i was disturbing her! Not a good experience about that!
We tried following 2 cakes:
-Fraisier
-Mousse Royal
Both were delicious. I prefer Mousse Royal.
I think a Fraisier contains Amaretto liqueur, which I don't like very much. I wish the menu had some explanations of the cakes. It will be easier to find one you really like.
We bought the New York chocolate pastry & it was so hard to bite!!!! It was hard & not fresh at all, it seems it is from yesterday's batch which was very disappointing. we bought Tiramisu cup as well, which was barely any cake, just full of cream & too sweet. Over all not satisfied at all for $24 for both items.

A beautiful place for spoiling yourself or others. You can take out some delicious French pastry, or eat inside in a beautiful dining area.
We had the elegant Omelette Florentine, a delicately light omelette with spinach & gruyere& tomato, & a delicious & massive Salade Niçoise. For dessert, we've had the Napolitain, Eclair crême Chantlly, & Opéra cake. Their croissants are wonderful too.
Service is of course fantastic, friendly, & attentive. A real treat.
Just today I was in this wonderful place, I want to say that the cakes are exceptionally good, but I want to say that when the bill came you were forced to leave a tip... I knew that only if you want to leave a tip, leave it if not, but the people who work in this place told me that I was forced to do this..
Although Duc de Lorraine is a magnificent restaurant; last evening I was very disappointed with the welcome & service we initially received. We were greeted by the Batista behind the counter. We had to walk ourselves into the dining room with no guidance to our table. We sat at our table which was not completely set … I had to take our candle & flower vase from the table next to us which was not out back on our table from the clean up. We needed to wait at least 10 minutes before anyone even offered us water. We needed to ask for bread & butter at the start of the meal . THEN … Rashid took over & everything ran smoothly from that point onward. Rashid is a professional & has been at Duc de Lorraine for approximately 7 years & that is evident. When I made the reservation, I mentioned it was my husband's birthday. …. NO celebration at dessert time was mentioned. Now that was disappointing. All this to say I still left a very descent tip for the staff. Praying that this is not going to become a practice because that is not the Duc de Lorraine I know since 1975 when I ordered my wedding cake & desserts!
I buy birthday cakes from this pâtisserie. I also was there for soupe! It is an overprice but delicious place to go but most importantly It has beautiful cakes & croissants. Just recommended if you have money & you dont know what to do!!

5 stars! My go-to breakfast spot! This beloved Montreal pastry shop & café (since 1952!) never disappoints. Their bakery & pastries are divine, but the real showstopper is their custom birthday cakes , truly exceptional! The combination of traditional charm & mouthwatering treats makes this place truly special. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or just starting your day, this pastry shop is a must-visit destination. Highly recommend. (Photo by @behnooshtz)
Bakery Duc de Loraine offers a delightful array of French pastries & breads, known for their authentic taste & quality. I rave about their croissants & specialty cakes, making it a must-visit for pastry enthusiasts in the area.
I went to celebrate my birthday there! We all had a great time there & they even sign happy birthday for me! Michael, the waiter, took really good care of us! Chocolate cake was a little dry but I am eager to get back & try different things from the menu! Price-Quality-Quantity ratio is good!!
