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.
La tartelette passion-framboise était trop grasse & tellement sucrée qu'il fallait boire après chaque bouchée. De la framboise, il n'y avait que le centre sous forme de confiture, alors que j'aurais aimé une touche d'acidité provenant de framboises fraîches.
Honestly, being in the DDL was a magical experience. From visuals, smell, decoration & services, they were phenomenal. The food, of course, amazing, though the prices are on a very high end, it's ok to try once in a life time thing.
The only room for improvement I'd like to suggest was having Food Allergy labels for online orders menu. In the store, we were informed but not online order.
Très belle expérience dans ce café. Tout était excellent, aussi bien en goût qu'en présentation. Mention spéciale pour la serveuse Oksana : accueillante, professionnelle & très attentionnée. Un service au top qui donne envie de revenir.
This place is simply amazing even though it is grossly overpriced. We had the banana pudding & oh my god I am not kidding it is the best thing I have ever eaten. The price is the only thing keeping me from eating the banana pudding every day. :-)
