Le Duc de Lorraine est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère parisienne élégante, ses magnifiques présentoirs de pâtisseries et son emplacement privilégié près de l'Oratoire Saint Joseph. De nombreux clients apprécient la haute qualité des desserts, en particulier les pâtisseries en trompe l'oeil, les croissants et les gâteaux originaux, souvent décrits comme visuellement impressionnants et savoureux. Le service est fréquemment souligné, de nombreux visiteurs saluant la nature attentionnée, professionnelle et accueillante du personnel. Bien que l'expérience soit souvent considérée comme un moment fort lors d'une visite à Montréal, certains retours mentionnent que les prix sont assez élevés par rapport aux portions servies. Si la majorité des clients vivent une expérience merveilleuse, des irrégularités dans le service et des problèmes occasionnels concernant la température ou la préparation des plats ont été soulevés par certains. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure un choix prisé pour les célébrations et les occasions spéciales, là où les clients recherchent une ambiance raffinée et authentique.
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.

I have been going to this place for over 20 years for various things such as cakes, pastries, breakfast, & even Mother's Day brunches with my mother. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing.
Without any notice, after ordering a $60 plate consisting of a bagel & lobster eggs Benedict, I realized it no longer came with potatoes or fruit, which used to be included as part of the full arrangement. The portion & overall presentation were not what I expected for the price paid.
On top of that, the service was not pleasant & did not reflect the quality of experiences I had in the past. Something has definitely changed over the years.
Be aware - it is very expensive for what you receive.
We recently visited Duc de Lorraine & had a mixed experience overall. The sandwiches were good, but extremely buttery. A little too much for my taste, & it didn't sit very well with me afterward. The fries were fine but nothing particularly memorable.
We also tried several of the trompe-l'oeil pastries. At $15 each, they were smaller than we expected. They were decent overall, with the raspberry & mango being the standout flavours. The lemon one was also pretty good. Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't great.
What really made the experience enjoyable was the service. The waiter & staff were all very friendly & welcoming. They joked around with my 8-year-old son & made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. We sat outside on the terrace, which was lovely, & the heat lamps were a nice touch since it was a bit breezy that afternoon.
Visited Duc de Lorraine & had a very nice experience! The outdoor terrace is definitely better than the indoor seating, especially with the beautiful direct view of Saint Joseph's Oratory. The place is very clean, & the waiters are elegant, welcoming, & always greeting guests with a smile.
The desserts & croissants looked absolutely delicious . we tried the Paris brest dessert & the crème brûlée, both were excellent. A bit on the expensive side, but overall a lovely experience & worth visiting for the atmosphere, pastries, & view.
Elegant & welcoming atmosphere. The pastries & desserts are fresh, delicate, & beautifully made. Everything tastes high quality & authentically French. I had breakfast there with friends & truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!
Duc de Lorraine is a beautiful Parisian-style pastry shop that offers an amazing selection of high-quality desserts & pastries. We tried a variety including croissants, trompe-l'oeil pastries, & macarons, & everything was visually stunning & delicious.
The almond chocolate croissant was absolutely incredible-soft, smooth, rich, & perfectly chocolaty with a sweet almond flavor that melts in your mouth. The raspberry cheesecake-filled croissant was also very good, with a nice balance of fruity & creamy flavors. The mango trompe-l'oeil pastry was another highlight-creative, fresh, & beautifully presented.
We also tried a selection of macarons, which were tasty & well-made with great texture & flavor variety.
Overall, the quality & presentation are excellent, & the experience feels very premium. The only downside is that the prices are a bit on the expensive side. It would feel even better value if either the portion sizes were slightly larger or the pricing was a bit more affordable.
Still, it's a wonderful place for anyone who loves French pastries & elegant desserts-definitely worth trying at least once.
