As we were approaching the Oratory, our tour guide suggested Duc de Lorraine and we are grateful she did.\n\nIt's simple and casual atmosphere, but the food is excellent.\n\nThe three of us enjoyed a croque monsieur, croque madam and a baguette saumon along with small salads. Each was simple, but as classic and wonderful as anything we had while in Paris a couple years ago. \nThey clearly take their time, know their ingredients and know how to prepare these dishes.\nWhile there, we saw many locals from the neighborhood gathering, which was a good sign.\n\nFollowing lunch we were talked into trying three of their pastries, and Opera, Chocolate Eclair and an Eclair Chantilly.\n\nAlong with a latte and cappucino.. they were delicious.\n\nDuc de Lorraine will definitely be on our list to visit again when we're back in Montreal. It's a ways out of the city, but worth the trek, to be sure."^^ .
