Opinions of Duc de Lorraine describe a refined Parisian vibe with an impressive array of pastries and desserts that many reviewers call among the best in Montreal, from oversized croissants to intricate trompe l'oeil creations and a tarte au citron that draws rave comments. The bakery and cafe blend an elegant, cozy atmosphere near Oratoire Saint Joseph with consistently attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel welcome whether celebrating a birthday, enjoying a luxurious brunch, or stopping in for pastry and coffee. The food and desserts are praised for quality and presentation, and the overall experience is often described as charming, polished, and memorable, with a sense that the place truly delivers on its reputation. While prices are frequently noted as high and some guests mention long waits or moments of uneven service, many reviewers feel the combination of flavor, artistry, and service justifies the cost and invites return visits for special occasions or a refined treat.
Very poor service, we waited 1hr 40min for our food to arrive & we waited 50min for cappuccino (coffee was stone cold when served), we asked for salt & pepper when our food arrived but it never came. It would have been nice to receive a complementary dish or snack as a way of apologizing for the wait or for during the long wait but that did not happen.
Food was okay overall, I had the omlette & it was good but it did not blow me away, it needed more chilli & seasoning, the potatoes were very good. The portion was good but the food is quite pricy (this is subjective & my personal opinion)
We sat outside & it was quite nice, kind of cramped but it was nice overall. It was a disappointing experience, this was our first & last time coming here.

There are many stuff on small table & you dont feel comfortable. I went there twice & in both, they asked me to sit where it was next to the entrance. I felt bad. It is not good to place a table in all spaces you found.
I will never go there anymore.
Different waitress came & tried to help but one waitress should be for specific table.
First time I did not have this problem but second time I had a issue with waitress & language.
First time the waitress was so freindly & cool. They let me to talk with them in French no one was in rush.
But in last visit, I felt everybody wanted you to leave.
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

À chaque année, nous faisons environ 1h de route pour aller chercher un fraisier pour l'anniversaire de mon père. Le service est simplement incroyable du moment de l'appel de la commande jusqu'au ramassage du gâteau. Tous mes compliments au chef pour le délicieux gâteau! Merci à tous pour l'excellent service & mention spéciale à Iris de m'avoir accompagné jusqu'à la voiture.
J'ai acheté 3 pâtisseries à emporter. Elles m'ont été servies dans une boîte trop petite donc les 3 pâtisseries étaient enchevêtrées les unes dans les autres. En plus, une des 3 n'était pas celle commandée pourtant la serveuse a répété ma demande. Néanmoins, elles sont très bonnes mais le prix exorbitant n'est pas du tout justifié.
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.

Endroit très sympathique, serveurs compétents & joviales néanmoins le patron des lieux , je présume, (un monsieur d'un âge mûr) a une manière fort désagréable de s'adresser à ses employés.....
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.
Le Duc de Lorraine est un véritable bijou culinaire au coeur de Côte-des-Neiges. Dès l'entrée, on est charmé par l'ambiance chaleureuse & élégante, qui évoque les salons de thé parisiens. Le service est impeccable : attentionné, courtois & toujours avec le sourire.
Mais ce qui fait la vraie magie de l'endroit, c'est évidemment la cuisine. Chaque bouchée est un voyage en France : des viennoiseries feuilletées à souhait, des quiches savoureuses, & que dire des pâtisseries ? La tarte au citron meringuée est une oeuvre d'art, & les éclairs rivalisent avec les meilleures pâtisseries parisiennes.
Le rapport qualité-prix est tout à fait raisonnable compte tenu de la qualité des produits & du savoir-faire. C'est devenu mon adresse incontournable pour une pause gourmande, un brunch raffiné ou tout simplement pour m'offrir un petit plaisir sucré.
Un grand bravo à toute l'équipe ! Je recommande sans la moindre hésitation.
L'endroit est très beau, le service est bien. Par contre il faudrait peut-être plus d'organisation car même en étant déjà placé, le restaurant m'a appelé pour savoir si j'étais arrivé au restaurant (un peu moyen).
Par contre, la nourriture était bonne, mais c'est dommage que les plats soient arrivés tièdes & pour ma part, le bagel était assez dur….
Les pâtisseries sont excellentes.
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.
Update April 3, 2025. Duc de Lorraine is totally different. It's no longer the restaurant we want to recommend if you are out of town or something you need to experience in Montreal. Dinner Menu has very little options now, quite frustrating actually as we always come to this place & have a good time. Unless they change their Dinner menu I am not coming back to dine in.
J'ai pris un croissant framboise pistache à presque 10$ a emporter omg pas de goût trop gras trop sucré, mouillé au final je n'ai pas pu le finir je ne le recommande pas, je n'ai pas goûté autre chose
