On était servi par EMRE je sais si j'ai correctement écris son prénom, un jeune homme très poli & serviable. Je le recommande fortement merci infiniment:)
Was a very lovely experience. Service was impeccable. We felt welcomed & were treated warmly. The food was also amazing. My father said he probably had the best bacon he's ever had here. In my book, that says something. Highly recommend.

I had heard so many great things about Duke de Lorraine, from the quality of the food to the impeccable service, so I was genuinely excited to try it for brunch, BUT…
Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the reputation. I ordered the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict, St Joseph, a dish priced at $47. At that price point, expectations naturally become much higher. You expect something memorable, whether through exceptional presentation, outstanding flavors, flawless service, attention to detail, or simply a dish served hot & within a reasonable amount of time. Instead, after a fairly long wait, my plate arrived cold, with only the potatoes being warm. I asked for a replacement, & while the request was handled professionally, it took another 30 minutes before the second plate arrived. Disappointingly, it was cold as well. At that point, I chose not to complain again.
What made the situation even more frustrating was that the dish itself was very ordinary. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, but there was also nothing that justified either the price or the restaurant's reputation. The presentation was basic, the flavors were standard, & there was no creative touch or special seasoning that made it stand out.
One detail that left me puzzled was the three small jars of jam placed on the table. They look attractive, but no bread or pastry was served, which made them feel more decorative than functional.
Overall, I found the experience overrated for the price. The setting is beautiful, the staff are pleasant, & the dessert display is impressive, but the food simply did not meet my expectations. I might return one day to try the pastries & desserts because they looked exceptional, but based on this brunch experience alone, I would not personally recommend it as a brunch destination.
Had a wonderful experience at Duc Du Lorraine! The food was absolutely delicious, & every dish was beautifully prepared. A special thank you to Iris, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, & made us feel truly welcomed. Her recommendations were spot on, & she helped make the experience even more enjoyable.
Between the excellent food, charming atmosphere, & outstanding service from Iris, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We will definitely be back!
Très belle expérience au Duc de Lorraine. Le service était excellent du début à la fin : attentionné, professionnel & vraiment agréable. Un merci particulier à Iris pour son accueil & son service impeccable. Ça fait toujours plaisir de tomber sur quelqu'un d'aussi attentif. Je recommande sans hésiter !
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!
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!
