We ordered four different pastries with warm drinks. The atmosphere & staff were amazing, but the pastries were honestly the lowest quality I've ever had. They weren't even fresh, at least 2,3 days old. I'm not even sure what to say. We were all genuinely shocked.
Good pastries, but order inside & eat outside instead of ordering on the table. It's cheaper & it will not take forever for the food & coffee to arrive

The pastries at Duc de Lorraine are good, but I found them more impressive in size than in flavor. The croissants are enormous, though not the best you'll find in Montreal, & the trompe l'oeil pastries are creative & enjoyable. What does stand out here is the variety - you won't find quite the same selection at many other bakeries.
That said, in a city known for some of the best pastry chefs, I'd say Duc de Lorraine is solid but not exceptional. I'd recommend it more as a brunch spot or for the overall experience than as the go-to destination for pastries alone.
This place offers high-quality, delicious, & authentic pastries, along with fresh fruit options. Prices are a little on the higher side, but overall the experience is worth it. In the summer, you can enjoy watching the turtles while sitting at the outdoor tables, which adds a special charm. The atmosphere has a great vibe, & the staff are polite, attentive, & considerate. Definitely a spot worth visiting!
Found them through TikTok. Was meeting up with an old acquaintance so we decided to check it out, loved it so much I brought my parents a month later to treat them to a night out. The only thing is the service isn't consistent, not sure if it was the time of day or if the staff was new & nervous but night staff was WAY better than noon. The food, the drinks, the pastries. LOVE! I will be back 😌😏
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.

The service was 1A very kind waitress & all staff…. But this is an overrated resto, we paid 38 +tax for a hamburguer that the chef forgot to put the onion… same taste & more vegetables at Macdonalds… an almost $60 for a stake that was'well done' but ordered medium.
The pastries save the day… mother's day
& they are petfriendly thats a sta
Ordered a simple macchiato , they gave me a very tall coffee Americano style which was clear in color , I let the waitress know this was not what I ordered (their coffee is almost 7$ + , should be decent & correct) , no one seemed to understand what it is I ordered however it is on the menu , took 3 attempts until I just asked for a regular espresso. Pastries ordered were not what was received , it is as if the waitress just decided what we should order, they pastries are surely frozen & cooked on site because they are terrible. . Bill was 70$ for 1 tea , 3 pastries & an espresso. Would not recommend.
I have come here several times & I'm extremely disappointed with the service. The staff at the cash usually acts like they have something better to do, & look irritated.
The pastries are extremely overrated, & extremely overpriced for what it is. There are other bakeries, just a few steps away that have much better service, & much better food, for a better price point.

I had reservations on a Saturday morning. Our table was ready for us when we arrived. The restaurant was easy to find & paid street parking was available. The menu is the perfect size. A variety of options but not too big or too many choices. We got the déjeuner du chef & le Québécois. The fruit selection was great & ripe. The quesadillas were my favorite park. I wouldn't mind some more drink options for breakfast, like smoothies or shakes. The staff was very friendly & attentive, we just found the service a tad slow. I think the waitress we had was the only one working a full floor. We also purchased some pastries from the counter which we took home & ate later one. They were great, no complaints there. Overall, we very much enjoyed our time here & would definitely consider coming back.
Service is great but the food is mediocre. Definitely NOT the best French brunch or the best french pastries in Montreal. Lemeac & Chez Potier are much better options but I guess not "tiktok" popular.

Duc de Lorraine offers a delightful escape to France without ever leaving the city. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, with charming decor that instantly sets the mood for a Parisian experience. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the pastries. Their croissants are buttery, flaky perfection, & the selection of desserts is nothing short of exquisite. Pairing these with their rich, smooth coffee makes for a divine treat. Service is warm & attentive, adding to the overall experience. While prices are on the higher side, the quality & authenticity of the food justify it. Highly recommended!
High-quality food & plenty of pastries make this a must-visit brunch spot in Montreal! The staff are professional. It gets quite crowded on weekends, so waiters might occasionally forget small details in your order. The prices are on the higher side for brunch-imagine paying $8 for a latte!" When you're sitting in front of Saint Joseph oratory you should order Saint Joseph it is a Benedict, bagel topped with salmon & cream cheese, comes with a bowl of fruit.
It was our first visit & we don't speak much French, & everyone in the restuarant was very gracious, welcoming & patient. The pastries were amazing! :)
