Duc de Lorraine is widely recognized as a charming and elegant destination in Montreal, offering a sophisticated Parisian atmosphere and a stunning view of Saint Joseph's Oratory. Many visitors are impressed by the visual beauty and artistic quality of the extensive selection of pastries, cakes, and croissants, with highlights like the banana pudding, almond croissants, and custom cakes often praised as delicious. While the dining experience, brunch, and atmosphere frequently earn high marks for being welcoming and memorable for special occasions, some guests find the pricing to be quite high relative to their expectations.

Honestly the place looks amazing from the outside. We got a couple drinks there & desserts. I got the quiche & it was really bad, not taste at all. The frites very bad, I mean it's hard to make bad frites & this place has those.
The drinks are good & the service of everyone is amazing they even try to speak Spanish to us kudos for that. The coffee bean dessert not bad but nothing remarkable about it.
I mean just get a drink there after the visit of the oratoire is fine
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée ! Vanessa nous a offert un service exceptionnel. Elle connaissait très bien les vins & nous a conseillé une bouteille parfaite pour accompagner notre repas. Les pâtes aux crevettes étaient délicieuses, fraîches & pleines de saveur. Vanessa était attentionnée, professionnelle & très sympathique du début à la fin. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Merci encore pour cette belle expérience !
Was a very lovely experience. Service was impeccable. We felt welcomed & were treated warmly. The food was also amazing. My father said he probably had the best bacon he's ever had here. In my book, that says something. Highly recommend.
I had heard so many great things about Duke de Lorraine, from the quality of the food to the impeccable service, so I was genuinely excited to try it for brunch, BUT…
Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the reputation. I ordered the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict, St Joseph, a dish priced at $47. At that price point, expectations naturally become much higher. You expect something memorable, whether through exceptional presentation, outstanding flavors, flawless service, attention to detail, or simply a dish served hot & within a reasonable amount of time. Instead, after a fairly long wait, my plate arrived cold, with only the potatoes being warm. I asked for a replacement, & while the request was handled professionally, it took another 30 minutes before the second plate arrived. Disappointingly, it was cold as well. At that point, I chose not to complain again.
What made the situation even more frustrating was that the dish itself was very ordinary. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, but there was also nothing that justified either the price or the restaurant's reputation. The presentation was basic, the flavors were standard, & there was no creative touch or special seasoning that made it stand out.
One detail that left me puzzled was the three small jars of jam placed on the table. They look attractive, but no bread or pastry was served, which made them feel more decorative than functional.
Overall, I found the experience overrated for the price. The setting is beautiful, the staff are pleasant, & the dessert display is impressive, but the food simply did not meet my expectations. I might return one day to try the pastries & desserts because they looked exceptional, but based on this brunch experience alone, I would not personally recommend it as a brunch destination.
For the price we paid, food was decent, ambiance & atmosphere is nice. Service was horrendous, no one took our order for a good 15 minutes, did not get water until we ask again 30 mins in. Ordered dessert, waited 30 minutes & staff forgot about it. When we finally got the dessert it was not even the right one. Staff seems nice, just service was appalling
Had a wonderful experience at Duc Du Lorraine! The food was absolutely delicious, & every dish was beautifully prepared. A special thank you to Iris, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, & made us feel truly welcomed. Her recommendations were spot on, & she helped make the experience even more enjoyable.
Between the excellent food, charming atmosphere, & outstanding service from Iris, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We will definitely be back!
