Reviews portray Duc de Lorraine as a stylish spot where superb pastries, inventive trompe l'oeil desserts, and warm, attentive service meet an elegant ambiance, making it a memorable choice for celebrations, brunches, or a casual pastry run. While some notes mention high prices and occasional delays, the overall impression highlights quality, generous flavors, and a refined atmosphere that invites a return for the pastries, the desserts, and the experience.
May be I expect too much, so turn out its not as good as I thought. The mango & lime tart alittle too sweet for me. Miss order, need to follow up. Wait quite long for the desserts to come. Also missed my wine order, but since we already waited a long time for desserts, we don't have the time to wait more. As a tourist, still got more places to go. However, if somehow you are nearby, still recomment to go take alook, then decide if you want to try or not!
Overall, Duc de Lorraine is a beautiful place - perfect if you're celebrating a birthday, special occasion, or big milestone. The atmosphere is elegant & charming, & it definitely feels like a treat. That said, be prepared to spend some money, because it is very expensive.
If you're just looking to grab a quick breakfast or brunch, I wouldn't recommend it - the prices don't really match a casual meal. We only had a few items, & the bill came to over $150. If I had to rate my meal, I'd give it a 6/10. The desserts were delicious but quite sweet, & overall I found some of the items to be overpriced.
It's definitely more of an experience - something to try once or twice if you enjoy upscale dining. One thing I loved is its location; it's within walking distance of Oratoire Saint-Joseph, which makes for a lovely outing. Just note that parking isn't the best, so walking or taking the metro might be easier.
J'y ai acheté plusieurs pâtisseries différentes fois. Certaines sont vraiment bonnes comme les choux, & j'ai toujours été bien accueilli & servi. Cependant j'ai acheté récemment un trompe-oeuil à la mangue & c'était une grosse déception au niveau du goût. Il n'y avait aucune partie de ce dessert qui était savoureux. Pour 15$+taxes un dessert de cette taille, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux.
We were on the floor laughing at the review that said'Expect small portions.' Ours were so large we had to take our dessert to go! The food was outstanding & so was the service. This is a first class restaurant & the bakery is by far one of the best we ever saw & can compete with any bakery in Europe. The New York Rolls are to die for! We will be back.
Les images que je vois sur leur site web ont l'air gourmandes, appétissantes & me donnaient l'eau à la bouche, je me suis donc laissé tenter.
Malheureusement, ce n'est pas ce que j'ai ressenti lorsque ma commande est arrivée chez moi. J'ai commandé 2 articles.
Le premier, un croissant pistache & framboise.Lorsque je l'ai sortie du sac, je croyais que le commerce s'était trompé d'article, ça ne ressemble pas du tout aux photos & ça n'a pas du tout l'air appétissant. Le dessus du croissant était sec & s'émiettait. Au moins, la pâte d'amande à la pistache était délicieuse & savoureuse.
Le deuxième, Un trompe-l'oeil à la framboise. La pâtisserie était légère & pas trop sucrée, le goût de la framboise était peu présent. Je n'ai pas été déçue ni satisfaite.
Au final, mon envie de sucré a fini par passer grâce à ces deux desserts mais, je n'ai pas été impressionné. Je ne crois pas recommander à cette place.

Reputable establishment.
This isn't the first time I come here, but it's the first in a while.
The food was delicious, but the service was slow & forgetful. I had to ask twice for water, & had to remind the waiter for my dessert.
We were seated at an awkward table, where customers came & went to get their pastries.
All in all, I enjoyed the food greatly, though I will not come back again.
FIY, I ordered the bagel eggs benedict & mimosa, & my friend ordered the avocado toast & coffee.
très bel endroit, un peu inconfortable à cause des irrégularités de l'extérieur, mais très bien présenté, le service au début m'a semblé bon, mais le serveur a fait un geste d'agacement à deux reprises lorsque mon fils a renversé de l'eau sur le sol de la terrasse, les desserts ne m'ont pas semblé spectaculaires, le menu n'était pas différent de n'importe quelle autre pâtisserie ou boulangerie & les prix étaient un peu déplacés 16 dollars pour un croissant, alors que la moyenne dans les pâtisseries est de 7 dollars... & j'ai demandé à ce que ma bouteille d'eau soit changée car il y avait des résidus à l'intérieur, par coïncidence le chocolat a fait vomir mon fils à peine 15 minutes après avoir quitté l'endroit..., sympa oui, mais je ne reviendrai pas à cause de l'attitude du serveur. Facture $170

Maybe we went on an off day but I took my friend out to celebrate & we were both disappointed. Lukewarm, mediocre food & the desserts were ok. The drinks were good & the place is absolutely beautiful! The service was slow even though it wasn't busy & the staff seemed kind. We sat indoors to avoid the bugs but unfortunately the flies took over. Im glad I tried it but I would not go back since the price doesn't make sense for what we got.
I have been going to Duc De Lorraine for the past 35 years. Last night, I had a diner with my grandson to celebrate his 20th birthday. Filet Mignon was impeccable. Service was outstanding as usual, & dessert was divine :)
Pour le prix qu'on paye c'est très boff, j'ai manger des meilleurs burgers chez McDo qu'au Duc de Lorraine & pour le prix ça vaut pas la peine honnêtement. Payer 30$+ pour un sandwich au jambon fromage avec un pain sec comme la roche boff. Déçu pour le prix que j'ai payer. Même les desserts
semblaient pas trop frais & sec. Over-hype
I like sometimes to stop on my way home at different places & try different things. So, I stopped here to get some take out desserts. The take out box is pretty fancy, & so is the place in general. The desserts are good, but nothing that will take your breath away or anything. But what really impresses is the price. Pretty big disparity when it comes to the price & what is being offered. & that's my reason for the 3 stars.
To be fair, this is more the kind of place you bring someone you are trying to impress & not a place you come for the food.

Le service est très lent. Il faut héler pour avoir l'attention du staff qui est probablement en sous nombre. Les prix sont assez hauts pour le peu que c'est. Les repas sont de 30-50$ & desserts 15-30$. Une belle vue sur l'oratoire par contre.
J'ai passé un agréable moment à l'occasion de mon anniversaire j'y retournerai probablement pour un café & un dessert mais je n'ai pas aimé le matcha qui avait un goût & odeur de poisson. La serveuse l'a gentiment échanger sans hésitation. Je ne peux malheureusement pas mettre plus que 3 étoiles parce qu'il y avait beaucoup de choses qui était à améliorer, selon moi. Le verre d'eau sentais dur, mes raisins manquait de fraîcheur, mon Baba au rhum goûtais seulement l'eau & le sucre, le blanc d'oeuf était coulant dans mon oeuf poché. Bref, ce n'étais pas là perfection mais j'ai bien apprécié que toute l'équipe équipe viens chanter pour ma fête 🥳 merci encore
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.
Fantastic experience with friends.
Generally speaking my Dijon burger is not enough Dijon mustard. The meat patty has the blood taste which I don't like. I normally have medium rare steak, however that blood taste from minced beef is not pleasant & especially it is a $40 burger.
However my friend has this Benedictine over fillet Mignon is very good.
The dessert is must have! We had the chocolate caramel croissant & the mouse rocher. The crispy croissant along with caramel is fantastic. the mouse rocher is a bit sweet, but perfect when matched with an Americano.
The waitress & waited are very polite
However the hostess are ok.
The dining area is a bit small which is crowded.
Will come back for amazing dessert!
