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.
Although Duc de Lorraine is a magnificent restaurant; last evening I was very disappointed with the welcome & service we initially received. We were greeted by the Batista behind the counter. We had to walk ourselves into the dining room with no guidance to our table. We sat at our table which was not completely set … I had to take our candle & flower vase from the table next to us which was not out back on our table from the clean up. We needed to wait at least 10 minutes before anyone even offered us water. We needed to ask for bread & butter at the start of the meal . THEN … Rashid took over & everything ran smoothly from that point onward. Rashid is a professional & has been at Duc de Lorraine for approximately 7 years & that is evident. When I made the reservation, I mentioned it was my husband's birthday. …. NO celebration at dessert time was mentioned. Now that was disappointing. All this to say I still left a very descent tip for the staff. Praying that this is not going to become a practice because that is not the Duc de Lorraine I know since 1975 when I ordered my wedding cake & desserts!
Mind blowing desserts!!! Best place to have creme brûlée 😍😍 but the service was not good as they were so rude not ready to answer our questions, everything was french & I didn't understand so asked few questions before ordering each item after 2 3 questions their faces changed & didn't answer properly.

Premièrement, le service est toujours impeccable. Ensuite, la nourriture est délicieuse, sans oublier la présentation & l'ambiance. Tout était parfait, 10/10 ! Je recommande 🥰
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!

Par quoi commencer… Le cadre est agréable, le service est bien & les plats sont très bien présentés.
J'avais commandé une salade de tomate Burrata & pour être franc, j'ai été un peu déçu. Les tomates n'avaient pas trop de goût & la Burrata non plus. J'avais espéré des tomates gouteuses issues d'une agriculture verte & une bonne Burrata à l'italienne, mais non. C'était mangeable mais sans plus.
En guise de plat principal, j'ai commandé du poulpe. Là, par contre on visait l'excellence. Le poulpe était tendre & très gouteux, les légumes étaient également d'une saveur divine. Je donnerai un 10/10 pour ce plat d'exception.
Le tartare de saumon est également très bon & le filet au poivre est succulent.
Leurs gâteaux sont également divins.
Si vous n'avez pas encore eu l'occasion de vous attabler chez le Duc de Loraine, alors il est grand temps d'y remédier…
Bistro Duc de Lorraine ( @ducdelorraine )is straight 🔥! That hot chocolate with rum? 🍫🥃 Next level, bro. The super cheeseburger & salad? 💣💥 Slapped hard. Mad chill spot for a business link-up or just vibin'. 🕴?💼
