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.
Belles présentations & beaucoup de choix. Malheureusement j'ai mangé un croissant aux pistaches & un aux amandes. J'ai eu des nausées jusqu'au lendemain & c'était le seul aliment différent que j'ai consommé durant la journée. J'ai essayé celui a la framboise pour voir si c'était une réaction aux noix mais ça m'a fait la même chose.. Je ne conseille à ceux qui ont l'estomac fragile
This place was amazing. It was one of our favourite moments in Montreal. We came in to celebrate a birthday & from the moment we walked in the place is beautiful. The staff are so welcoming & nice they really looked after us.
We had an amazing breakfast with mimosas, fresh beautiful fruit, crêpes, etc.
The best part for us was our server Rafa he went above & beyond to look after us & was incredibly kind to our toddler. Even bringing her a small macaroon dessert.
Thank you everyone at this wonderful restaurant for such an amazing time.

Just today I was in this wonderful place, I want to say that the cakes are exceptionally good, but I want to say that when the bill came you were forced to leave a tip... I knew that only if you want to leave a tip, leave it if not, but the people who work in this place told me that I was forced to do this..
Etant Lorraine... je me devais de visiter cet endroit ! J'ai enfin eu le temps & quelle belle découverte ! Le brunch est délicieux & que dire du service ? On dirait un resto 5 étoiles. On avait la table pour 1h30 mais on avait pas fini (on a parler beaucoup) alors ils nous ont proposer de nous déplacer au bar ou à la banquette pour qu'on puisse prendre notre temps. Oui c'est plus cher qu'un brunch ordinaire mais clairement la qualité de la nourriture & du service en valent la peine. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation !
Le Duc a toujours là cote…
le décor a changé mais le service, la nourriture & l'ambiance est extraordinaire. Un petit coin de Paris tout près de chez moi !!
Merci Joanna pour ton excellent service & ta gentillesse, tu complète bien l'équipe au DUC DE LORRAINE .
Fantastic experience with friends.
Generally speaking my Dijon burger is not enough Dijon mustard. The meat patty has the blood taste which I don't like. I normally have medium rare steak, however that blood taste from minced beef is not pleasant & especially it is a $40 burger.
However my friend has this Benedictine over fillet Mignon is very good.
The dessert is must have! We had the chocolate caramel croissant & the mouse rocher. The crispy croissant along with caramel is fantastic. the mouse rocher is a bit sweet, but perfect when matched with an Americano.
The waitress & waited are very polite
However the hostess are ok.
The dining area is a bit small which is crowded.
Will come back for amazing dessert!
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans ce restaurant. L'ambiance était magnifique & le service irréprochable. Les plats étaient délicieux, & le vin recommandé par le serveur s'est avéré être un excellent choix. L'atmosphère générale était tout simplement sublime.
Avant de partir, nous avons également commandé des desserts à emporter, & ils étaient non seulement exquis, mais aussi magnifiquement emballés. Une expérience parfaite du début à la fin !
The whole experience from the moment we walked in & were warmly greeted, to the food & service, all fantastic. My only (minor) complaint is their birthday ritual... it's loud, disruptive, & doesn't fit the chill ambiance of a lovely Sunday brunch.
Le service était impeccable du début à la fin & on pouvait constater que le service était bon pour les tables avoisinantes également. La nourriture était excellente & l'ambiance pour mon anniversaire m'a fait très plaisi
We tried their pastry & drinks, the quality of the pastry was one of the best in town & the service was exceptional. I have to say the only downside was the prices, I think 13$ for a latte is expensive.
