I love it. It's my favourite place. Sure some things can be expensive, and it's not an everyday place, but coffee, sweet treats and their food just hits every-time. Service is also great too!!! The kindest servers ever. #Noemie4ever. The vibes are both fancy and casual at the same time. The view of the oratoire and the decors inside are quite the cherry on top. 10/ read more

We are tourists and got this place recommended by the staff at the restaurant where we had dinner the night before. All I can say is WOW! The front area is a bakery with beautiful dessert displays. I wish I had a room for dessert. We came for the Quiche Lorraine, and the portion was huge -- probably enough for 3 people, I would say. It had a lot of meat, with some kind of special ham/bacon, and the flavor was delicious. If you like meat, this is the dish for you. I definitely recommend it! Personally, I would have liked a little more egg custard in the quiche. The Eggs Benedict was delicious as well. The drinks were great and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend!. read more

I absolutely loved their desserts. I will say though, they are pretty expensive. the pear dessert alone was $15 before tax. We got the pear dessert, lemon meringue, and Ferrero chocolate cake, and together the three desserts came to around $45. Honestly, I didn't want to like them as much as I did because of the price, but they were all so good that we immediately wanted more. The pear dessert was light and delicate, while the outer white chocolate layer added a really nice crunch. I was super happy to see them because they were viral on TikTok lol. The Ferrero chocolate cake was super creamy and rich, and even the base had that delicious Ferrero flavor throughout. The lemon meringue was also light and refreshing, while the bottom crust still had a nice firmness to it in a good way. Every dessert was super flavorful and tasted amazing. The staff greeted us right away when we came in for takeout, and everyone was very friendly. They also helped pack our desserts, although I personally would have preferred if each dessert was packaged separately. The shop itself is really cute too. They have an adorable heart and rose sign outside, and all the desserts are displayed at the front. They also sell croissants and other little pastries/snacks as well. read more

A little gem in Montreal that feels like stepping into a Parisian neighborhood bistro. The $50 three-course menu one of the best values I've come across! The seasonal pastries are another highlight. They change often and are the kind of treats that make you want to keep coming back just to see what's new. Everything tastes fresh, refined, and decadent. The ambiance is cozy yet classy, which is perfect for a relaxed br or an intimate dinner. And the view of Saint Joseph's Oratory adds something special to the experience. Great food, warm service, and a setting that makes you want to linger a little longer. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to. read more

I had a great experience at Duc de Lorraine in Montreal. I ordered the beef tartare and mentioned that I'm gluten sensitive, and they were very accommodating, swapping out the bread for radishes and cucumbers without any issue. The portion of beef was quite generous, and the flavour was absolutely on point, fresh, well seasoned, and really well balanced. Overall, a great spot with thoughtful service. I'd definitely come back. read more

Come with more time than you think. Duc de Lorraine is a beautiful restaurant that features a wrapping terrace for dining that is popular amongst locals and tourists alike. When the sun is shining, I recommend one of their delicious drinks and pending desire, their meals are great, but the desserts are better. Even popping in for a little treat appears to be a quite popular trend. Their macaroons are delicious, every single flavor, and paired with my Espesso Martini nicely. Though there is a lot of waitstaff working, be prepared to spend a lengthy bit of time here. This is likely a combo of the classic culture of enjoying the weather and atmosphere, but also due to what appeared to be miscommunication between the staff. Several people around us requests their bills multiple times, a couple tables got quite irritated. Lucky for us we had more time, but also had to request to pay twice and remind our waitstaff to box up our remaining desserts. read more

Stopped by here for a weekend break to initially just grab some pastries but last minute to grab a table which they had. Service was overall friendly with frequent check ins to make sure our cups of water were being filled. We ordered a crepe to share and two iced coffees. The crepe was good but definitely also quite pricey. The iced coffee also was stronger than I'm used to so something to note for the caffeine sensitive. Generally speaking, the things we ordered were good. The place itself is pretty with lots of natural light coming in through the dining area. The front has the pasties with lots of cute treats. The higher price makes me lean closer to 3.5 but the ambiance and service makes me feel that rounding up makes sense. read more

Located a few blocks of St Joseph's Oratory, this patisserie was an eye opening stop. The bistro tables were full and there was a short wait to order at the bakery and coffee counter. There was so many gorgeous choices. I have never seen so many good baked goods before at once. They were very large and good to share. The croissant didn't have a lot of layers but more air inside. We got our order to go and sat outside under the trees in some of the low chairs. read more

Definitely a tourist spot, so the prices will reflect that as well as the bad music. BUT if you're up for it, this is a cute spot with good food (and it's right off the hop-on-hop-off route). The French toast was absolutely delectable. Made with brioche bread (better than challah!) and served with a blueberry compote, mascarpone cream and some sort of chunky shavings on top. Major sugar-rush! My date had the Roastbeef sandwich and he would totally recommend it. Our waiter was gracious, friendly and attentive. Should this be on your "must go" list? No. But if you find yourself in the neighborhood and you're hungry, it's absolutely a good stop. read more

Excellent food but definitely not worth the money! Great for a one time visit for the experience. Two people for breakfast cost us close to $200 and although the food was good the service was awful. The busboys and staff were very inexperienced and did not know how to ensure clients got what they needed during the service. I actually had to get up and go get things. Super quaint place that reminds me of France. I suggest heading there for just dessert and coffee then you cannot go wrong! read more

I've heard great things, so I wanted to give it a try, and went on a Sunday afternoon. I planned to get some kind of sweet croissant and a lemonade, but both the viennoiseries (croissants etc) and the beverages were priced at $11, which is about twice that of the average high quality bakery in Montreal, so I blew my whole budget on an $11 strawberry croissant . Unfortunately, the croissant was disappointing. The pastry was beautifully flaky, but the pastry was dry, almost as if it was a day old. The croissant itself was also flavorless, with no noticeable flavor of butter or yeast. The filling was a strawberry jam. It was good, but not better than a high quality local or French jam. The jam was all concentrated in the middle third of the croissant, and it was spilling out of the hole where the filling had been piped in. It got all over my hands, and since there were no napkins available with my to-go order, I had to try and wipe my sticky hands on the bag they gave me the croissant in (you would think that, for $11, they could afford to give out a napkin with every order). I'm being very critical, but it wasn't altogether bad. If I were a tourist coming from a place where French patisseries aren't ubiquitous, I would have enjoyed it, even though the viennoiseries are wildly expensive. But this is Montreal, and I've had far superior viennoiseries for half the price. read more

Quelle belle patisserie pour manger viennoiserie et plus. Depuis 1952 la plus vielle en ville? Donc pour leur 70 ans jy suis aller y faire un tour. On se croirais sur une petite terasse parisienne avec en plus un accueil incroyable. Je n'y ai jamais mangé, j'ai goûter qu'au patisseries et au café. Ils ont des créations pour feter cela des beignets a base d'une pates de croissant. J'ai gouté au beignet crème brûlé au beignet royalle (Choco) et au beignet pistache. Se fut pure plaisir et trop originale avec la pate croissant et ils sont chacun fourrée différemment. Ps ce n'est pas un cronut. En tout ca ca se partage très bien !!! read more

Duc de Lorraine is definitely a tourist hotspot, and the prices reflect that. While on the pricier side, the indoor and outdoor seating have a charming European vibe, which adds to the atmosphere and makes for a pleasant experience. My brother ordered the avocado toast, which was a decent portion but didn't quite justify the steep price. The rest of us opted for pastries and coffee, and I have to say, the pastries were quite good. Even if you don't plan to dine in, I'd recommend stopping by to grab some pastries to go--they're worth it! read more

Fantastic restaurant. I was encouraged to try Duc by a friend and they recommended I purchase enough to not have to eat later because it is a bit pricey - the serving size was certainly not an issue - I ordered too much food and would have been set with less food. I got the French onion soup - delicious, thick, and flavorful and the Quiche Lorraine - thick crust, tons of ham, and a huge serving! Service is impeccable, great communication and attention. And the ambiance at this spot is on point! Loved the setting, outdoor seating was perfect! Highly encourage everyone try Duc! read more

When in Montreal, I was excited to have a European style cafe experience and Duc de Lorraine definitely embodied that energy! My friends and I were seated at outdoor tables with many plants / French flags around, since it was quite pricy, we got a few items to share. Two pastries -- the strawberry mille-feuille (~$13) which had a lovely custard in between and deliciously sweet strawberries (seriously I wasn't sure where these strawberries came from but they were utterly perfect), unfortunately the crème brûlée beignet was quite hard to eat as the crystallized sugar on top stuck to your teeth a bit, it was also unlike the beignets I was used to which would be the powdered sugar donut kind. The beignet was filled with the same custard as the mille-feuille but I felt that it worked better with the strawberries. Lastly, the item that surprisingly blew me away was the Mochaccino (~$11), it had the best sweetness and creaminess that I could've imagine and I would genuinely come back just to have it again! read more

Come here for the Benedictines and the tartares but avoid the rest of it for breakfast (you've been warned). The pastries are also some somewhat decent.. but their service is impeccable (as it should be for $50 a breakfast dish). It's a nice, fun breakfast place to chill at and enjoy the view. I'm taking a star off for their awful rest of the menu, and the fact that with birthdays and celebrations, they turn up the music to ear splitting level and it's not only jarring, it interrupts the flow of your conversation (you legit cannot hear the other person) and is annoying AF. I don't know where they came up with this new thing but it needs to stop because people aren't here for the bar-like atmosphere. They're here to have a fun, lively, calm brunch not to be at a rave. If you're going to pay for a high end breakfast or brunch, I highly recommend Marcus (but don't eat there for lunch or dinner, it's disgusting with the new chef ever since Marcus left.) read more

Our group of six family members jumped off the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus to see the Saint Joseph's Oratory, a beautiful cathedral on the hill. Facing us across a cheerful, chair filled shaded parklet, was a charming restaurant, Duc de Lorraine. We took a chance, sat outdoors in the warm wafting breeze, we charmed by our cheerful waitstaff, and romanced by our delicious dishes. My slice of quiche was generous and the crust divine. After sharing forkfuls of each other's great selection, we were full. BUT, they had awesome deserts. So we dived in, got eclairs, and other sinful delights. We were there for at least two hours. I'll never forget it. Sugar-highed and satisfied, we braved the many steps up to Saint Joseph's Oratory. At the top is a winding trail leading to a glorious fountain of forgiveness, or fountain of inspiration, or something. That walk was so beautiful and rewarding. The view of the city sparking below was wonderful. read more

Service is poor. After a visit to St. Joseph 's Observatory, we found this place on the way back. It has a nice outdoor dining patio. The young ladies who seated us were fine but the waiters not so. They took our orders of a baguette with ham and French onion soup and proceeded to ignore us. The second waiter came by after a long wait for the food and asked if we wanted water and didn't clarify what kind of water. He shows up with sparkling water which we didn't ask for. After correcting him, a long time passed while we ate our food. No water. Eventually he showed up with a glass bottle and tap water in it after another really long wait. The ham cheese baguette was overly smothered with cheese. Way too much cheese. The onion soup was OK but had a really thick layer of cheese on top. Too much cheese again. Lunch cost over $50 just for the 2 items. To add insult to poor service, the first waiter who took our order didn't bother to thank us for patronizing their restaurant. Not planning to dine here again. High prices, poor service doesn't warrant the visit for us. We've been treated better at less pricey places. read more
