J'adore ce café. Le personnel est super accueillant & le service est impéccable. Magnifique vue de l'Oratoire St-Joseph & menu varié & délicieux! 10/10
Restaurant/Patisserie extrêmement cher pour la qualité quelconque des mets offerts & la saleté de l'endroit. Nous avons été incommodés par l'abondance de mouches à l'intérieur de la salle à manger (entre 16:30 & 18:00) & le manque de propreté (miettes en dessous des tables). Étant arrivée à 16:30 je souhaitais quelque chose de salé. On m'a indiqué que, cela n'était pas possible car le cuisine ouvrait à 17:00 heures. Soit. Mais qu'en était-il des sandwiches présentés dans les comptoirs? Non me répondit-on ces sandwiches sont pour la vente à emporter. Donc, impossible de manger du salé assis, avant 17:00heures (& on m'a suggéré des gâteaux avec mon verre de vin). Quant aux prix, c'est quasiment honteux. Les baguettes, les pâtisseries, etc. sont au moins 50% plus chères que dans n'importe quelle autre boulangeries ou pâtisserie. Car, ne vous trompez pas, le Duc de Lorraine, en dépit de sonapparence de restaurant -bistro avec une agréable terrasse, n'offre cependant qu'une cuisine aussi n'importe quelle boulagerie du coin. Le Duc de Lorraine vise trop haut dans ses prix & offre un très mauvais rapport qualité-prix.
A lovely afternoon lunch, our party was ready almost an hour earlier than our reservation, & they accommodated without hesitation. Try the beef tartare! Everyone enjoyed their food, one issue was remedied swiftly! Be sure to save room for dessert!
Nourriture pas cuite, service qui laisse à désirer. C'est nos voisin de table qui nous ont fournis le menu car on a etait oublié! 1h30 d'attente pour recevoir la nourriture. Experience très décevante. Je ne recommande pas!
Nous étions venus pour le mimosa à volonté. Belle ambiance & bon service ! Nous n'avions même pas à demander pour un autre verre de mimosa qu'il était déjà sur la table.
With the heat wave, some fans would have been appreciated
With the flowers (very pretty) there were many wasps.....service should have taken away plate as soon as meal was completed. We had to get up & leave....as there was 3-4 & then 5-6....
We have been going to Duc de Lorraine since the 60s & it was a real gem! Service was impeccable, pastries & sandwiches were exquisite so much that it became a tradition to us. Yesterday we went around 5:30pm just for a pastry & coffee. We didn't want to spoil dinner so we also ordered a bagel & cream cheese (yes, it WAS on the menu). We were told this was for breakfast only. We had to wait about 15 minutes to have the menus. After our order, we waited about half an hour for the pastry. No shortage of staff so there was no reason to be "ignored" & stalled. In looking at the menu, though, the prices seemed to have quadrupled over the last few years. They try to transform it into a scandalizing expensive place (hamburger about $18, chicken caesar about $26, etc.). Years ago it was much, much better, & the place was always full. These days, people might come for a coffee & a pastry (most are at $8). Wining & dining might cost about $100 or more per person. What a shame!
