Fantastic food but a little pricey. I came with my wife for a fancy (weekend-before-Valentine's-Day) dinner & we were well impressed. I believe the octopus appetizer is one of the best I've ever had. Amazing sauce with veggies & a super tender, fairly large (not chewy) octopus tentacle. The escargots appetizer was great, but had maybe a little too much pesto that overpowered the delicate flavour of the snails (a lot of pesto was left behind). For the main course we had the lamb & lobster risotto. The lamb was really good but I wasn't too impressed with the side of beans & potato...the potato specifically, just seemed like really large fries. I don't usually associate fries with fancy restaurants. The lobster risotto on the other hand was phenomenal. Tender lobster, perfect rice & an amazing sauce. For dessert my wife had a lemon tart (she loved it) & I had the cheese cake (delicious). I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion, but for a regular dinner out, a bit pricey. We did have a cocktail & glass of wine each, combined with 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, 2 desserts & a double espresso, our total with tax & tip was $360. Still worth the experience & I'd definitely come again...for a special occasion! :) ...definitely try the octopus if you like octopus...it's amazing.
I have known Duc de Lorraine for as long as I can remember. I remember eating a quiche for lunch, taking a bent up playing card from a deck attached to a silver stand. The store was old, charming but in need of special care. In the restaurant area hung crochet short curtains blocking the view of the Oratory right outside.
I have been a customer all those years, I have seen all the changes. At first many were insulted that things changed, but I have never seen so much action as I do today. The current owner is a young woman, who has turned Duc de Lorraine into a fabulous space it is today. I have watched her hire wonderful young people year after year, present beautiful cakes, create new menus, plant flowers year after year. She has staff to clean the city park across the street so we all have a beautiful place to sit. I have had her personally deliver many cakes to my home, & find staff to work private events for our family. The staff are mostly from France, smiling & lovely. Everyone works hard, & enjoys the atmosphere. They know customers by name, know their orders by heart ... its very special.
We have ordered many cakes over the years, we have ordered appetizers & dessert tables to compliment larger family events. The head chef has created beautiful cakes for us, even our own wedding cake a couple years ago.
While there may be some negative reviews, I believe its due to growing pains. Duc de Lorraine was never a place for lunch, dinner. The amount of people on the weekend is well over 100, they will need to further renovate to meet the modern demands. The renovations to Duc de Lorraine has made this once forgotten corner alive. I would like to thank Duc de Lorraine & their staff for all the hard work, & beauty they have added to our families life over the years. Job well done, Dimarco Family.
I've just discovered this bakery & can't rave about it enough! The cakes & tarts are delicious, & the sandwiches are devine! As for savory, I've only tried the quiche lorraine but it was also great & reminded me of the ones I'd get in France. The servers are kind & informative (I'm always asking for suggestions & they haven't let me down yet!). There is not a ton of seating but I've never been there & not been able to find a spot. It's quiet & a nice place to catch up with a friend or just chill with your laptop & a drink. I have a feeling I'm going to be a regular!
WOW!!! I got to say that this is the bakery I will for sure go & get my cakes. I just bought a birthday cake for my dad & honestly everybody at the party loved it. The cake was like heaven in your mouth aka that is a good cake. When I was going to the bakery to check out some cakes & flavors, employees were so nice & patience & helping me out with cakes size & flavors which I like that.
It took me a while to discover it. I also travel to Paris twice a year, which is responsible for my refusal to eat pastries or bread that aren't close to the perfection found there. So, I do know the difference between frozen cardboard filled with chemicals from the really fine stuff.
This bakery is the real deal, & has been my choice for the last couple of years or so, from the time it was owned by the previous owners to the last visit when I indulged in that birthday cake so deliciously described in a previously.
Croissants! Good? No. Great? YES. Crisp, delicate, impossible to eat in the car as it explodes into those flakes that are the mark of really good croissants.
The pates are wonderful, too wonderful! The cakes are tres francais. Light cakes filled with fresh fruit fillings or wonderful, not too sweet chocolate or hazelnut mousse, etc. The frosting, again, is in the French tradition of not being sweet, heavy buttercream (although there's nothing wrong with that!) but instead has a whipped cream/sugar texture that is much lighter. & they are GORGEOUS! I'm always proud to bring something from this bakery to any gathering.
