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.

Love! Love! Love this place! The best French Patisserie in Montreal! Excellent pastries, professional service, beautiful scenic view from the terrace! Charming Parisian Cafe on the corner of the hot spot! You must try their almond croissants, they are the best in town! It is really a hard decision every time you step into Duc de Lorraine! You stand & watch & you eat everything with your eyes. You've missed it in your life if you haven't tried Duc de Lorraine delicious pastries & they signature latte!
