Anyone who says this place has gone down hill, I'd like to know what hill they are referring to? This place is a topnotch spot to experience some of the freshest pastries, cheese, meats and pate second to Paris as one can find!..Seriously. While exploring Cote-des-Neige, my friends and I passed by this corner patisserie and was drawn in by the most incredible smells I've ever experienced.
Words can not describe the assortment of edibles Duc De Lorraine had to offer, so I added a lot pictures - they are as good as they look!
Staff here were incredibly friendly and hospitable. Realizing that this was out first time there, one of the staff members broke out multiple tasting of cheese and fresh bread for us to try on the house. The aged cheddar and Guinness cheese was my favorite and unlike anything I have encountered, oh soo good!
Note: They have an extremely reasonable lunch special: $8C gets you a bowl of the soup du jour, 1/2 sandwich, and a drink of your choice. There is a small glass enclosed dining area in the back that has a nice view of the area.
This is the perfect place to hit before heading up the hundred plus steps to L'Oratoire St. Joseph. I Will definitely be returning to Duc De Lorraine again on my annual pilgrimage to be with Saint Andre.
