Duc de Lorraine in Montreal

The food was good but way too overpriced. Nothing you cant find somewhere else. Vegetarian options: Not much. Very limited. Kid-friendliness: None. Wheelchair accessibility: Very limited.

Food is okay, pastries are nice with a bug variety. However, for that price point, I was expecting more. It s way overpriced for what it was. 2 pastries and 2 coffees with tips we were at like 55$. At that price, there s better options although service was excellent !

One of my worst experiences handling a client concern occurred with Duc de Lorraine. On a Tuesday afternoon, I went to order a custom cake for my son s 12th birthday, which was the following Sunday. He s a huge fan of Sabrina Carpenter, so I brought them a CD cover featuring her picture to use as the design for the cake. Sunday morning, I was so excited. I kept imagining my son s face lighting up with happiness when he saw the cake. I had butterflies in my stomach the whole way there. However, when I arrived to pick it up, I was handed a plain, generic cake, nothing like what I had ordered no custom design, not even the right colors. I felt completely stunned. The manager, a young man who looked to be about 25, had an incredibly arrogant attitude and handled the situation poorly. One of the staff members tried to reassure me, saying they would fix the issue and asked me to return in 10 minutes. Understanding mistakes happen, I decided to give them the chance to correct it. I told them I d go shopping to give them more time and returned 45 minutes later. When I came back, I was handed the same cake. They had simply removed the strawberries from the top and added a small picture of Sabrina Carpenter. The picture was poorly done, with a white-and-brown background, and the cake looked even worse than before. When they saw how upset I was, no one tried to resolve the issue. They acted as though this is what it is. Eventually, an older woman, supposedly the owner, came to speak with me after noticing my distress. However, all she said was that she would talk to the staff, offering no apology, compensation, or meaningful solution. At the very least, I asked them to place the picture on a cake more suitable for a 12-year-old boy s birthday. Even then, I was met with indifference. I left the bakery in tears and cried the entire way home. The lack of care, empathy, or accountability from their staff was deeply disappointing and ruined what was meant to be a special day for my son.

Great service, atmosphere in the morning is vibrant!

Thank you very much Johanna (Jojo) as well as the whole great team! The service was superb and friendly. Good food, good portions! EXCELLENT SERVICE! You were able to accommodate our group and the birthday touch was AWESOME! I absolutely recommend!!!

Thanks to Johanna and the whole team for their kindness

This restaurant is very beautiful, the presentation are on point and service is on point . The cakes looks delicious . But, it s not as tasty and it s overpriced ! I have a suspicion that it s not fresh either.

Saw on Instagram and said wow ! Why have I not ever been there being born and raised in the plateau ! So I went after visiting my dad at the cemetery . Today is my wife s birthday and wanted her to try some of these renowned French pasteries ! We have been to France 3 times and just love ! So .. I walked in and asked for 6 of the best they recommend ! Total disappointment and overpaid garbage ! That s all ! Everything tastes old and cheap . Never again .

Excellent and unique place with a great atmosphere. A store with incredibly delicious baked goods in a wide range, as well as a cozy place for lunch or dinner with friends.

Alejandra the waitress is very professional..A real pleasure! A renowned establishment!

I love their pastry, the mousse cakes, flan NY roll, Palm tree fruit tart, the brioches....

Overall, excellent meal, coffee,dessert, and service. I will definitely go again. Highly recommend.

Expensive for what it is, I only recommend the plain croissant and the hot chocolate. Their pies, cakes and other pastries are not worth it

Superb pastries

Lovely bakery/ restaurant

A childhood favorite. The best croissants in Quebec and Ontario combined. A real authentic French experience. So glad they now offer shipping some of their delicacies.

The pastries are really good and the vinoiseri are excellent! There were a lot of people but the service went quickly

Great place amazing service food was amazing !

It was our first visit and we dont speak much French, and everyone in the restuarant was very gracious, welcoming and patient. The pastries were amazing! :) Parking: n/a Food : 5/5 |

I went there for my birthday because I thought it was a cute place with good food and stuff... But I was disappointed about the edifice which is too small. There is not enough space between the tables. I was not comfortable at all at my little table for 2. Food was delicious but a bit expensive IMO. However, the service was GOOD so Ill give the terrace a try next summer Kid-friendliness: Yes

Tiktok has overhyped this place. Its very pricey for the quality. Not a big fan. We got a breakfast sandwich and omelette. I felt like the sandwich was made with old bread.

Really very fancy and attentive service to compensate for the price of the pastries S/o on the gentlemans 1st date with his sugar baby next to us

Service is top tier You guys should make the key lime pie it will be delicious! Yes I was given the wrong order but your place is very clean and nice And the staff is nice

Phenomenal bakery! Super friendly staff. A little pricey but well worth the cost. I had a custard filled croissant with strawberry jam in it and it was to die for!

The place is friendly and all the employees say hello when they see them! I was advised by Iris who served me extremely well and was able to help me according to my needs :)

Nice restaurant with delicious food just a bit expensive

Extremely disappointing, to say the least. The croissants are average at best. Some of the baked goods were stale. The prices for the a la carte menu were ridiculous. $ 16 for 1 egg! get real. I have been to Paris several times. trust me, this is not Paris!

Great place for special celebrations and they sang with us birthday song that was amazing!

Delicious for pastries - must-stop for coffee and a snack (or a drink)! However, the breakfast and brunch are overpriced for the quality and content.

We loved our visit. Everything was perfect...the welcome, the service...the food. Best Croque monsieur in town.... what can I say about Paris-Brest... to die for. Special thanks to Peter for his attentive service.

Disappointing food experience; not what it used to be. Reserved in dinning room; seated in front of pastries. Service was good, but all around not worth the expense.

The packaging is perfect

I recommend it!!!!

We went for my girlfriends lunch before she left for a month abroad and she loved it despite being a picky eater. Very good service from all the workers, I will return to the terrace again next summer!

Very very good French food. Too expensive though

The young man who received me at counter was pleasant. I purchased croissants and pastries where Iris completed the transaction. This establishment remains best in class and, most importantly, everything was delicious :)

I ordered some cakes for my friends birthdays, and everyone loves it. The cake itself is not too sweet, the butter cream is so good. I love the dark mousse chocolate too. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you very much for this excellent service Sara!

Very good pastries, in particular their strawberry mille-feuilles (They are often only available in the morning, which is a shame). On the other hand, I found that their espresso tasted burnt. Ive had a latte twice and didnt like the taste of espresso both times. But otherwise, their pastries are worth it and they offer a small park with tables and chairs for those who want to order takeout and not have service.

Its expensive, but its worth it. The service is impeccable, I was served by a very friendly young man who did his best to speak Spanish. If you have that problem, there is a mexa from Azcapotzalco who is also very helpful. In general the staff is super attentive.

$118 for a cake, $64 for small ones, and $10.20 for individual ones. Prices disconnected from reality.

Johanna is a wonderful waitress, very charismatic and extremely professional. I will definitely come back.

Great service! Food was ok and Johanna is a good waitress

Very good service by Johanna our waitress!

Barely equivalent to pastry from a mediocre French bakery. The prices are excessive compared to the quality of the products. The Paris Brest choux pastry was dry, and the tiramisu was not great. It s more of a tourist trap than a high-end pastry shop. Good service though.

The place overall is nice but the food is average in my opinion. My favorite was the tiramisú latte, I had crabcake eggs benedict which were ok, my husband had a burger which was also ok, for the price I expected the food to be better. Our waitress was amazing, super nice and helpful. We got a caramel millefeuille to do which was really good

As a Montrealer, I m embarrassed this place is currently so popular among tourists & visitors. This city has soooo many great brunch places, patisseries and boulangeries but this is just a tourist trap. It s not the original Duc de Lorraine we had 10+ years ago. The few good points about this place: - Location & View - It s so close to the Oratoire St Joseph and to Mount Royal, so it s easy for visitors to stop here for a quick break. - Long opening hours - Again, the focus is on tourists. Usually, this type of business close around 5 PM - 6 PM elsewhere in the city. Here are the reasons to skip it: - Food is really below average. The pastries we tried (Fraisier, Tiramisu & Opera) were not fresh. The Fraisier has an ordinary & uneatable rolled fondant piece on top of a bunch of whip cream with tasteless strawberries. The Opera was pretty much frozen, the different layers had hardly any flavour but all together was too sweet. To be fair, the New York rolls (round croissants) have good enough filling. - Prices are above average. It s above $10 - 13 per pastry. Pancakes are $40, I think. It s not worth the quality you get. - Service is messy. You get to talk to a lot of people from the moment you walk in until you leave, it seems no one knows you ordered. Overall, don t waste your time here.

Thank you Claudia for making our lunch for my Great Grand niece and nephew so special. She ll never forget the wonderful meal and birthday wishes.

A beautiful place for spoiling yourself or others. You can take out some delicious French pastry, or eat inside in a beautiful dining area. We had the elegant Omelette Florentine, a delicately light omelette with spinach & gruyere& tomato, and a delicious & massive Salade Niçoise. For dessert, weve had the Napolitain, Eclair crême Chantlly, and Opéra cake. Their croissants are wonderful too. Service is of course fantastic, friendly, and attentive. A real treat.

Overpriced, and the food was dry. The service was not kind or good at all!

This place is disaster, disappointment Menager is rude and incompetent I live in Montreal 1 year and I m trying to learn French and to speak. Today, for the first time, I lost my motivation to learn a language. I tried to answer his question in French and he ironically asked me if we should switch to English. Disrespect!!!! As for the product: I bought a cake, I paid 64 dollars and when I paid I saw a different one which I liked more and I asked If I could change it, he told me they can t and they can t refund it it s not right taste was disappointing and disaster I will not go back there never

I had to try it, given the immense reputation. Dinner. We ate twice the smoked salmon and avocado toast ($40), with the poached eggs (+$6) for me. Kir royal and café latte. Lemon tartlet to take away. Given the prices and reviews, I had high expectations. Very attentive service, well done! We feel the commitment to providing good service, it s very pleasant. Dishes: smoked salmon of fairly good quality. The whole plate was ok. Very ordinary salad. For this price, disappointing. I expected more serious attention to ingredient quality, flavor combinations and presentation. Successful lemon tartlet. Atmosphere: beautiful, bright little space (and large and beautiful terrace outside) and lively. Birthdays are celebrated with a song with (very) loud music and a light fountain. Three in an hour, with the smoke detector going off once... for me, its unpleasant. Be warned! If you like it, great! I will go back there to get pastries and macaroons to take away, which I want to give a chance, again because of their reputation. I wont eat there again. For the same price and the same type of dishes, you can eat much better in several places.

Food service was great and Iris and oksana helped us choosing the best croissants we ever had.

Good but pricy bakery

Food: 160$ for 1 person (with food allergies to citrus), 3 course meal with a cocktail. French onion soup always hits. It was fantastic but finding stems of rosemary in the soup was kind of a surprise. 9/10 Steak and mashed potatoes was good. Steak was a tad overcooked but still juicy and tender and came pre cut. Sided with a WAY too peppery sauce, lumpy (some lumps undercooked) mashed potatoes and caramelized onions (in quotes because some of them were burnt, some were undercooked to be called caramelized and a bit was plain raw). I expect lumpy mash potatoes at breakfast joints and dinners, not in a what looks to be high end French bistro. Kitchen has ample room for improvement. 7/10 Opera cake for desert had a weird flavour. Classic opera cakes are made with cognac. The server told me no alcohol was used, but eating it made me sick. I was fine for the entirety of my meal but started feeling nauseous after a few bites of the cake. I m thinking there was grand marinier (made with oranges) in the sponge and the kitchen staff did not know the recipe used by the bakers. My waitress came back rather quick with the answer so I don t think back of house verified the recipe Espresso martini was VERY vodka forward. Almost exclusively tasted of vodka. Thought it would pair well with the opera cake it didn t. 6/10 Service: Except a hic at the start where I was offered lemon (I m allergic) to go with sparkling water by another waiter, front of house was impeccable. The Maître D (charming lady) was warm and welcoming. My waitress answered questions and checked with the kitchen for my allergies. She was fantastic. 11/10 service. Paper napkins and cutlery were replaced with every course. She did a fantastic job. I tipped the way I did for her service. She did not make me feel rushed or out of place once. Ambiance: Has very high end French bistro vibes, dining area for dinner was in the back along windows covered by white semi sheer curtains. Soft ambiance music without lyrics played through the speakers. The front had a few tables but was mostly occupied by pastry displays. I assume that seating area was for people who came to enjoy desert. Tables were covered with white linen and paper covers and had a single stem rose as a center piece. The waiters were in crisp white long sleeve button down shirts, black bow ties, shoes, and pants, while the bussers and bar tenders were in all black. Proper waiting protocol was used. Lighting was soft without being too dark. The paintings on the walls were reminiscent of Van Goth. Over all, good experience with some bémols. I expected better for the price tag as it s not my first time there. 3.5/5 stars.

Sara provides excellent service and those every time we see her!!

Sara provided us with excellent service!! Thanks again!!

Johanna was great , great service , fast and always smiling . Thank you

Thank you Johanna for your smile and excellent service. Very delicious, highly recommended

Excellent service and delicious meal!

Thanks to Johanna for the great service

Quality service

Tourists please avoid. Though tourists are the only ones who will go and pay these outrageous prices for ordinary food.

Great, and our waitress Inès was super nice.

Where to start The setting is pleasant, the service is good and the dishes are very well presented. I ordered a Burrata tomato salad and to be honest, I was a little disappointed. The tomatoes didnt have much flavor and neither did the Burrata. I had hoped for tasty tomatoes from green farming and a good Italian Burrata, but no. It was edible but nothing more. For main course, I ordered octopus. There, on the other hand, we aimed for excellence. The octopus was tender and very tasty, the vegetables also had a divine flavor. I will give a 10/10 for this exceptional dish. Their cakes are also very good.

Jojo was so sweet and charismatic! Food was incredibly delicious! Would 100% come back.

Our waitress Jojo was really nice and very attentive! We loved his service and the food. Great atmosphere!

I came for brunch for my best friends birthday and Jojo gave us an unforgettable experience and impeccable service. The food was excellent too!

Honestly the best French restaurant in town hands down. the service is unparallelled. and Peter is their best kept secret! We celebrated our wedding there and even though we couldnt make up our minds and were rushed on time, Peter kept it nice, cordial and professional and we felt so understood and valued every step of the way. He went above and beyond to provide excellent service to us and our guests. The food was exquisite. Thank you so so much Peter and the Duc de Laurraine Staff. We are officially sold, and we will keep coming back!

Thank you Iris!

Thank you very much to Jojo the best!!!

Thanks to the charming Jojo for her excellent service and then the warm welcome from the hostess at reception. The New York roll was delicious as well as the Burratini Parking: Not really or parked

Very beautiful place to brunch the food is delicious and the service impecable a little pricey but definitely worth it

Great

delicious food and drinks and impeccable service - a real pleasure

Iris is very welcoming and friendly. Excellent service.

Note I only tried several pastries from a beautiful selection of offerings as take-out service, so my review is limited. What I had was quite good, everyone has opinions about croissants and related items but I found this well above average, which in this town is saying a lot! The location is beautiful with a lovely outdoor space (and a small park just across from it if you just want to do takeout and eat). The servers were also helpful and went out of their way to help me, even filling my own water bottle (as I was on my bike). I will note that I did not try their lunch items because they were so expensive, even by Montreal standards. I just am not up for paying $30+ for a sandwich! Other items are even more expensive, and if you are willing to pay $50 or more for a simple lunch than you have more money to burn than I do!

The service was just perfect. The employees are truly nugget and very helpful. And what about food? Sooo good. It makes me want to go back. See you soon

Brunch very kind owner and waiter yesterday thanks to the whole team this evening and especially to the beautiful Rosalie friendly suggestion: have a mint white tea to take to the Mont Royal viewpoint to see the stars a special hello to Iris

more than 30 minutes for a macaroon??? no thanks.

It was a bit weird experience. Initially one of the waiters was supposed to take care of our table. However, he was not well trained and was not polite to my wife as well. We were at the table for around 20 minutes and he didn t even bring us a menu. And then we waited for another 20 minutes and he still didn t take our order. So basically we waited for 40 minutes and only got two coffee. We were really upset and decided to pay the coffee and leave. Luckily this brought the receptionist and managers attention and they treated this situation very well, which we really appreciated. I would still give five stars since the food was actually outstanding and the managers treated us full of respect. Everything was great except one of the waiter. We travelled from Toronto for this restaurant and we believe we will be here again next time visiting Montreal.

Overhyped and overpriced place. Went to Duc De Lorraine with my friends, had tiramisu latte, amandine, opera cake. The opera cake is just loads of sugar without any flavor, amandine was alright noting special and the tiramisu latte was also okk. The service was not so remarkable, and the server seemed a bit rude, so all you are paying for is the ambience which was not bad. If you want good bakery items Premier Moisson is beside this which has a whole lot of flavor. To the manager or the person in charge: please do check your garbage regularly to assess what are the foods being ordered and not finished , these would give you an idea of what things need improvement. I have seen a lot of people not finishing up their meals, so try to assess what is wrong with certain items.

I bought a Raisin Bread and a Nutella New York Roll for $20, but the quality was disappointing. The New York Roll, filled with industrial Nutella, was cloying and lacked finesse. I recommend using a homemade chocolate cream made with quality, less sweet chocolate. The raisin bread, dry and tasteless, lacked butter and tasty pastry cream... To improve, it would be wise to take inspiration from other pastries in Montreal, which honestly offer much more quality products. On the other hand, the atmosphere and welcome were excellent! Good point on that

Frankly, the New York roll sucks. It s dry and full of nutella, it s inedible. Same for raisin bread. For the price paid we expect impeccable quality! Warm service and welcome.

Superb experience. Everything was wonderful from the food, to the service, to the ambiance. Thank you so much Johanna!

A super chic place that makes us feel comfortable rather than uncomfortable! The food is expensive but its an excess thats worth it - everything is delicious and decadent as hell. A gift to give yourself once in a while! Thank you Jojo for the super warm and enthusiastic service!

A definite destination. Have gone post mountain run with friend(s). Very welcoming. The staff is courteous and professional. The atmosphere is great and comfortable. The quality is well worth the price point. They are an absolute niche. Kid-friendliness: They are family friendly

It was great Vegetarian options: Good choices Food : 4/5 |

Wonderful food, service, energy!

The cuisine and pastries/viennoiseries are perfect. The meal was delicious despite the fairly high price ($40 a croc monsieur..) The service leaves much to be desired, we were neither offered a drink nor a coffee. We were near the door and there was an unpleasant draft. The place is very noisy, we can barely hear each other, even if the place is very cute. I recommend going during the week and not on a weekend

Special shoutout to our amazing server Sam, who made our visit truly memorable. The culinary skills of Chefs Enok and Mariana brought out the best in every dish, and the presentation by Sarah and Marion added a touch of elegance. And lets not forget Frank, the efficient busboy who kept everything running smoothly. Merci à Peter pour le magnifique service comme toujours!

Thank you Aileen for your wonderful service

Had a decent croque madame, but the accompanying salad had no taste. My wife had the crab benedict but wasnt impressed by the dry brioche. Prices feel like they are double what they should be. $56 for eggs benedict? Ouch. The pastries for takeout appeared delicious. But I would not dine in here again.

I really liked the atmosphere, its really good and the waiters and waitresses are great!

Andrew was amazing! I will come back because of him. Food was also all worth it

Tried Religieuse Au Cafe & Baba Au Rhum. Babu Au Rhum was too good! Food

I had a great time there!! Our waitress Charlie is very attentive to the smallest detail. It was my birthday and they (the staff) gave me a nice surprise when I ordered my cake for dessert (a strawberry millefeuille which was very good, not too sweet) and the meal was good , from starter to dessert, the portions seem small but it really fills you up!

Loved the service

The food was excellent, and the waitress (Claudia if I remember correctly) gave us good service. I also liked the surprise song . It was my birthday. I will come back soon!!!

I really enjoyed every pastries there, I would just love them to be made fresh

The pastries were delicious, great discovery :)

The staff at the Duc de Lorraine always go out of their way to remedy any problem, and to ensure an absolutely flawless culinary experience. The food is magical, the setting amiable, and the service divine. Bravo et merci!

Horrible, the worst croque monsieur ever! A completely failed French classic: soft bread soaked in oil and very fatty cheese with an unpleasant taste and smell and too abundant in terms of quantity. Almost a cheese fondue on the plate, all covered in very thick béchamel. Very ordinary coffee. Exorbitant prices $40 per croque monsieur. Fries ok. Friendly service in a noisy room where the heat was unbearable. The only attraction: the outdoor terrace and view of the Oratory. A haven for tourists and Instagrammers. Too bad but this is no longer the place I knew during the 80s. Note: the popular mille-feuilles 13.75 before taxes. I passed my turn.

The quality is really not what I expected. There is a lot of better croissants in Montreal that are half of the price of these, the pistachio roll looks artificially coloured and doesn t taste like pistachio cream. Even the matcha ice latte was watered down and didn t taste like much at all

Many thanks to Youssef for your advice. Good service

The quality of the pastries has deteriorated (much less generous quantity and much less taste) while keeping the same prices. Very disappointed

There is no value for money. It s expensive for nothing. disappointed and I do not recommend.

Value for money 0

I buy birthday cakes from this pâtisserie. I also was there for soupe! It is an overprice but delicious place to go but most importantly It has beautiful cakes and croissants. Just recommended if you have money and you dont know what to do!!

Very delicious desserts!

Mathis was really helpful, a bit expensive for the area however!

Disgusting food. It was cold and hard to cut. How can a croissant be so hard? The only good thing was the view but meh. Ice cream coffee that tastes like milk.. Also I learned from someone that they pay people to promote their restaurant on social networks. It makes sense because I dont think anyone was going to say its disgusting and the truth if theyre paid.... In short 2/10 for the view and the service. At least the girl who served us was nice. One thing she was there

Very good address, but the pastries are too expensive in my opinion, despite the quality. Finally, if you manage to keep enough customers, good for you.

Very good place, except that the prices are a little too expensive anyway

Excellent brunch lunch, a few too many happy birthday songs! It seems that everyone is agreeing to go to brunch for a birthday, with a chorus of waiters, and the smoke detector going off with the smoke of the candles, but all in all, u Beautiful place, excellent service and gourmet brunch to match. Beautiful terrace and park opposite to enjoy a pastry and a coffee in the sun!

Un tres tres grand merci a Peter - you made our lunch so special! It really makes all the difference. Thank you to the team ! And chef was exceptional! Food is beyond the best ! And I ve been around :) Food

Very well received as usual, very good service from Félix and Jules for their recommendations!

Very well received by Mathis, very good advice and also funny!

The croissant are not that good compare to other shops. But the presentations are top-notch The decorations are glorious. Services are friendly and helpful Food : 3/5

Perhaps it was a bad day, but the service was a complete chaos when visited yesterday. Too many waiters coming to us, mixing the orders, even when spoke to in French, everything seemed confusing. Our orders took about 30-40 minutes before we could all get our food, and they just couldnt get it right. We got served 2 plates of 3 eggs separately, when we asked for two eggs on the side of French toast. We kept one plate, and it just sat on the table for about 15-20 minutes, they were cold once the rest of the food arrived and they just microwaved the plate and brought it back. The avocado toast was such a disappointment for the price you pay (30$). The toast was small and hard to chew. It was tricky to take a bite off with the big halves of cherry tomatoes arranged on top . The side of salad was decent but you end up getting more salad than avocado toast. I believe this place made its name, but now the quality and service have downgraded tremendously over the years and is definitely overpriced. On the other hand, Pesto Burger with fries was tasty and the portion was good. When offered ketchup/ spicy mayo, it arrived halfway through the meal. Not to mention, for a high end restaurant, it would be nice if all the bathroom door locks were functional. The city set up picnic table right in front of the restaurant across the street, easy to grab better food at a better price and still enjoy the view. Montreal brunch scene is great, and Id rather go somewhere else where its worth it next time.

don t want to be too harsh as i only tried the new york supreme croissant but honestly it was dry, chewy and too sweet. it had an ungodly amount of nutella that overtook the taste of the pastry. the location was cute and the service was very friendly and helped make recommendations.

I called Sunday afternoon to make sure they still had baguettes and was told no but that they would prepare some before I arrived. Arriving on site 15 minutes later as planned, I was given the last baguette , hard as a brick and dry. Really mediocre for $7 a baguette.

Best hot chocolate Ive ever had. The food is just wow. The staff are amazing; friendly, helpful, professional and sweet! Loved the vibe and the atmosphere. A little too expensive though.

Vast selection of pastries and viennoiseries, watch out, priced on the expensive side.

Dessert coffee for two at $30 without reheating the coffee, this is disappointing! The service, impeccable, the atmosphere very good but the curtains hide the bell tower of the oratory and that is unfortunate.

Very overrated, too expensive. I can the same quality of french pastries at half the price. This review was based only on sweet treats and no hot food.

For many years this has been one of my favorite spots in Montreal. Many options from sweet to savory and all good quality for the price point. This is no longer the case. Perhaps the chef changed, but the Guiandua that I have ordered for many years now has significantly changed. With a large price increase. Totally different color, only half the macaron cookie, the chocolate squares are terrible quality, and there is barely any hazelnut flavor at all. Very disappointing. I will no longer recommend this to anyone visiting this city as there are plenty better options.

Came to Duc de Lorraine for brunch. Food was delicious! My sister and I split Avocado toast, a salad, and a croissant that had dulce de leches filling i believe. Our server Claudia was so nice and the staff were super attentive especially when we needed refill on water. Love the outdoor seat area and they have tons of pastry selections inside!

Super good, Johanna served us and impeccable service! Atmosphere, food, service, everything 10/10

Highway robbery - $8 for a small hot chocolate and its not even very good.. $9.70 plus tax for a lemonade ?? Ridicule !!

Tremendous

One of the best desserts I have eaten. We chose a Black Forest Cake. Fresh cream, soft cake, everything is fresh.

The Black Forest cake is incredible, my whole family loved it!

The service was great, but the pricing could use some adjustment. I ve also had better pastries at other spots in Montreal.

Mediocre quality and overpriced. Planting a French flag and dressing your employees fancy =/= quality. It was probably good 30 years ago but today this is 100% a tourist trap to avoid at all cost.

Delicious sweet treats

Excellent service as always!!!

Even if it was good the prices are very high

Beautiful outside place, delicious meal however inside not very clean.

We were here and I really liked it. As a pastry chef, I enjoyed the desserts, they are excellent. the service and atmosphere must be up to par. It took us a long time to find a table, even though there were many free tables around us.

We had dessert and coffee here, Claudia offered excellent service. Would definitely go there again.

My parents wanted to stop in for some food while we were doing our bus tour. The place is touristy and as other people have mentioned before, it is pricey. That aside, the food that we got was good. The pastries are beautiful and the inside is nice. Our server Claudia was wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and helpful.

Excelent, but the price is $$$ . The server Claudia is kind , friendly and profissional.

Horrible service and very pricey. We waited 30 minutes to get our cold coffee, then another 15 minutes to get the sweet we ordered . When I asked for Bill, me and my husband and I had shocked 50$ gor 2 cup of coffee with 2 pieces of sweet . Never ever I go back. Horrible experience. Food

I recently visited Duc de Lorraine in Montreal and was disappointed by the experience, especially considering its reputation. The coffee was shockingly overpriced for what it offered nothing extraordinary, just a basic brew with a steep price tag. As for the crème brûlée, while the texture was fine, it lacked the richness and depth of flavor I expected from such a renowned pâtisserie. For the price, I anticipated something much more indulgent. The ambiance is charming, but the food and drinks dont justify the premium pricing. I wouldnt recommend it if youre looking for good value for your money.

Always the best

Excellent cakes: I had a religious one and a Millefeuille and it is simply divine! It s like you re in the best bakeries in Paris! Everything is good and exceptional, the choice is very wide. The price on the other hand is high: more than $10 per pastry. I liked the welcome, I found the staff approachable and professional despite a crazy crowd (it was Saturday afternoon). I thank the management of the establishment for training their staff for impeccable service.

Hands-down best patisserie in Montreal. The mini-gateaux are amazing and the staff is very nice.

Good but non pastry food is pretty heavily overpriced

Beautiful place in Montreal $$$

WHAT KIND OF PISTACHIO IS THAT COLOUR? I got catfished by social media do not do the same terrible terrible food

I was warmly welcomed by Iris and the team of the French restaurant/bakery. Thank you for making me relive good French pastries and pastries.

Super good Restaurant as we celebrate the birthday of my friend the amazing service i saw they sing a song and bring the cale for us Thanks for all the staff to make our day Best Thanku so much Food : 5/5

Thank you Iris for your good customer service.

Iris and Oksana offered us a quality service, thank you to them

Horrible EXPERIENCE TONIGHT Disastrous waitress 15 minutes for the waitress to come and take the order when the restaurant was empty Never served us water never came back to see us we had to get up to pay the bill and when leaving the waitress said out loud WELL NO TIP which is unacceptable for a restaurant also well known.

We were there for brunch. The prices are high for typical brunch offerings but the quality is very good. The service however was terrible an in no way was reflective of the price of the meal. Our server took our order while leaning over a fence on the terrace and never returned (food was delivered and cleared by wait staff) and that was the last we saw of him. After the plates were cleared we waited 30 minutes for someone to check on service and see if there was anything else. We then had to ask for our server to return and it was almost 20 minutes before we were presented with a bill (by another server). Never during the experience were we asked if everything was fine or if there was anything else that could be provided. I would give a 0 on service if I could. 2 people, 2 eggs benny dishes, 2 coffee, $150 CAD. A totally unsatisfying event. But if you are a tourist, do take-out on pastry, and expect to pay a lot, but at least you wont have a negative experience. Parking: street parking in a busy tourist area can be challenging.

Honestly, the staff is absolutely wonderful! Cordial, fun, respectful and professional. The patio had heaters on which made it easier to enjoy the fall afternoon. Unfortunately, while the food wasnt bad, it simply wasnt great and the price point is way too high for the quality of food that we received. They could lower these prices by 33% easily to make it a good quality-price rapport

I have been going to the Duc de Lorraine for over 36 years. They used to make the best pastries and butter croissants.This time, I went with 2 colleagues and I have ordered a bowl of café lait and butter croissant. Your croissant was disappointingly cold, covered with some shiny salty fat and tasteless. Where are the authentic DUC de Lorraine real butter croissants? My bowl of café au lait was cold. My 2 guests were satisfied with their omelettes though. It was the first time that the Duc disappointed me, and I do hope it was the last as well. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Celiac Safe
