Ns sommes des réguliers au Duc de Lorraine. Ns aimons bcq les trompe l'oeil mais les prix sont exorbitants selon nous. L'ambiance extérieure est bcq plus agréable, un très beau parc juste devant la pâtisserie. Ns avons un jeune homme avec qui ns avons l'habitude de ns faire servir qui lui donne un excellent service à la clientèle & il ns reconnaît à chaque visite & ce qu'on veut s'acheter alors un gros merci, il se reconnaîtra !!!☺?. Les autres faudrait travailler un peu plus fort sur leurs sourires ns achetons bcq au Duc les caissières laisse à désirer malheureusement. Ns sommes de la Rive-Sud alors c'est un long trajet. Ns avons eu la chance de goûter des trompe l'oeil ailleurs mais malheureusement ils n'ont pas les même longues heures comme le Duc. La Pause Sucrée à LaPrairie est un charme un endroit à découvrir !!!! Ns vous souhaitons quand même une bonne continuité☺?
L'emplacement est favorable rien à dire service impeccable cependant apres de nombreuses visites je dois dire que les trompe L'oeil sont plus beau que bon j'ai été déçus d'ailleurs vu le prix j'aurais aimer qu'il soit de qualité les plat par contre étais délicieux si ce n'étais pas du service & de l'ambiant j'aurais donner 3 étoiles & non 4 étoiles

Very nice experience. Service was very good. Food is on the pricey side but quality is very fresh & tasty. Price of coffees is a bit exaggerated, but the coffee was good.
May be I expect too much, so turn out its not as good as I thought. The mango & lime tart alittle too sweet for me. Miss order, need to follow up. Wait quite long for the desserts to come. Also missed my wine order, but since we already waited a long time for desserts, we don't have the time to wait more. As a tourist, still got more places to go. However, if somehow you are nearby, still recomment to go take alook, then decide if you want to try or not!
We were very sorry that we did not have a very good experience here. The dining room lacked ambience & the food was at best mediocre. Very expensive for what you received. Wanted to like it but ended up being a very negative experience. The service was very good but that's all.

Overall, Duc de Lorraine is a beautiful place - perfect if you're celebrating a birthday, special occasion, or big milestone. The atmosphere is elegant & charming, & it definitely feels like a treat. That said, be prepared to spend some money, because it is very expensive.
If you're just looking to grab a quick breakfast or brunch, I wouldn't recommend it - the prices don't really match a casual meal. We only had a few items, & the bill came to over $150. If I had to rate my meal, I'd give it a 6/10. The desserts were delicious but quite sweet, & overall I found some of the items to be overpriced.
It's definitely more of an experience - something to try once or twice if you enjoy upscale dining. One thing I loved is its location; it's within walking distance of Oratoire Saint-Joseph, which makes for a lovely outing. Just note that parking isn't the best, so walking or taking the metro might be easier.

Was very disappointed in the food. Although the croissants were great- green slop was used instead of avocados on my very expensive avocado toast. It has no taste & the texture was terrible.
