Review Summary

Duc de Lorraine is described as a beautiful, Parisian-inspired spot where an elegant atmosphere, warm hospitality, and a dazzling display of pastries create a memorable experience. The pastry selection receives frequent praise for freshness, variety and size, with croissants, mille-feuille, tarte citron and trompe l'oeil creations standing out, and the bakery and café setting pairs well with brunch, coffee, or a special occasion. Service is often noted as attentive and friendly, contributing to a welcoming vibe, though a few reviews mention slower or uneven service at busy times and occasional questions about value. The location near the Oratoire Saint Joseph and the terrace adds to the charm, making it a popular choice for celebrations and for a refined treat. Overall, guests repeatedly report high quality food, impressive desserts, and an ambiance that feels both cozy and upscale, justifying the experience for those seeking a memorable Parisian-inspired outing.

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.

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.

Very lovely workers. Once you come in, the people behind the counter greets you warmly. I was having trouble choosing which pastry to get since they all looked aesthetically appealing but Jason helped me pick out some. I specifically love the cinnamon roll but the prices are a little hefty for what they are selling.

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.

We tried their pastry & drinks, the quality of the pastry was one of the best in town & the service was exceptional. I have to say the only downside was the prices, I think 13$ for a latte is expensive.

I heard French exchange students were saying this place is very authentic, so I went to try their pastry. It's absolutely the best I've ever had, I especially loved their croissant & flan, simple & delicious. They also have another type of pastry with various fillings (e.g., caramel, pistachio, chocolate) also tastes great!

MUST TRY This French pastry shop & restaurant is a must try in montreal! The only negative thing I would add & this is why I give it a 4 star rating is because of how slow they are to bring out 3 already made dessert & two coffees! But if you have time to sit & wait, do try this place out!

Came to Duc de Lorraine for brunch. Food was delicious! My sister & I split Avocado toast, a salad, & a croissant that had dulce de leches filling i believe. Our server Claudia was so nice & the staff were super attentive especially when we needed refill on water. Love the outdoor seat area & they have tons of pastry selections inside!

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)

$45 for spaghetti? $30 for an onion soup? You've got to be kidding me They lost my drink (twice), forgot to give me water, & I still left paying $30 for a pastry & a coffee. Nice atmosphere but save your money & use it to go to 10 alternative places. You'll be far happier that you did.

Quite ordinary pastries considering the fanfare. The quiche pastry dough tasted like it was bought at the supermarket, the pastry creams too sweet, the baba au rhum had flavorless rum . Nothing to write home about - except for the prices! $9.75 most pastries. Disappointed & won't return.

The pastries are a must try. Their croissants remind me of the ones I had in the south of France. If you're visiting the Oratory & you're looking for a coffee & pastry stop, Duc de Lorraine is your go-to 👌

Francisco was behind the pastry counter this morning. He was so pleasant & helpful. He made our take-out order pleasant & enjoyable.
