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!
Overrated cafe with poor quality desserts & drinks
Stopped by here because of all the great reviews & simply did not understand the hype. The desserts looked unpolished & tasted mediocre. Had the highly recommended mille feuille & the custard had an intense egg taste, whatever the dessert is topped with tasted like a very sugary fondue layer, & it didn't feel like the mille feuille was fresh. The plain croissant & the pain au chocolat were pretty good & would be the only things I'd maybe recommend here. Espresso & americano were awful as the beans were burnt, the price is insane for that kind of quality. Staff were awesome & you can tell they put in a lot of effort to ensure the service is great. However the place was very chaotic as there's no proper guest management/directions, so everyone is trying to figure out how to order takeout & where to go for dine in. Wouldn't bother coming here again, there are so many better french pastry/dessert places in Montreal
I saw this place recommended on social media, but the taste was honestly disappointing. The mango cake's cream was far too watery-almost like liquid. The other cake was better, though. That said, the staff were very friendly & the service was great.

J'ai eu le plaisir de travailler avec l'équipe de Duc de Lorraine pour un événement familial très spécial: les fiançailles de ma petite soeur. L'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin.
Les desserts étaient non seulement magnifiques, mais aussi absolument délicieux. Le gâteau, le croquembouche & la tour de macarons ont fait sensation auprès de tous nos invités!
Un merci tout particulier à Iris, qui a été à l'écoute, patiente & d'une grande gentillesse tout au long du processus. Elle a su comprendre ma vision & la réaliser encore plus joliment que je ne l'imaginais.
Un service impeccable & un savoir-faire remarquable. Je recommande sans hésitation
Super expérience! Le service était vraiment au top. Un grand merci à Mohamed pour son attention & son professionnalisme, il a pris le temps de bien m'expliquer les choix de gâteaux & de me conseiller. On se sent bien accueilli & écouté, ça fait vraiment plaisir.
Un service de qualité avec le sourire, je recommande sans hésiter !
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.
TikTok recommended place, the food was definitely overrated & overpriced, banana pudding was extremely sweet, the New York chocolate roll didn't seem to be fresh & way to my chocolaty. Calamari was ok, too much spices, takes away the authenticity of it. BUT beautiful view of the oratory, & in a nice place.
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.
