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!

Highly recommend! 😊🍽?✨

Nous sommes allés au Duc de Lorraine pour vivre l'expérience, mais malheureusement, le rapport qualité-prix n'était pas au rendez-vous. Pour deux déjeuners, un cappuccino, un matcha, un mocktail sans alcool, la facture a été de 153 $ avant pourboire. À ce prix, nous nous attendions à un service, une ambiance & une qualité beaucoup plus élevés.

Le service a été lent dès le début. Nous avons attendu longtemps simplement pour avoir de l'eau, au point où mon mari a dû aller en chercher lui-même. Pourtant, il semblait y avoir autant de personnel que de clients dans la salle à 10h30 du matin. L'attente pour recevoir la nourriture a été d'environ 20 à 25 minutes. Lorsque le serveur a apporté nos plats, il nous a ensuite dit qu'il s'était trompé de table, est allé vers une autre table, puis est revenu finalement nous apportez la même commande.

J'ai commandé un matcha à 10 $ &, franchement, il n'était pas à la hauteur de ce prix. La table pour deux était aussi trop petite pour recevoir toute la commande confortablement. L'ambiance est correcte, mais si on enlève le décor mural, comme les bouteilles de vin accrochées, cela reste assez simple : murs blancs, plancher noir, vitres sales & traces de rouille autour de certaines fenêtres. Les ustensiles en aluminium semblaient usés, ce qui ne correspond pas vraiment à l'image chic attendue.

La présentation des assiettes était très jolie, c'est un point positif. Par contre, la nourriture était ordinaire, comparable à certains restaurants de déjeuner à environ 25 $ l'assiette. Mes oeufs bénédictines avaient un goût trop vinaigré. Le saumon fumé était assez ordinaire, sans impression de produit maison ou particulièrement raffiné.

Au final, oui, c'est correct pour y aller une fois vivre l'expérience, mais pas au prix demandé. Selon moi, soit les prix devraient être plus bas pour ce qui est offert, soit la qualité du service, de la nourriture & de l'ambiance devrait être nettement améliorée.
