Cuisine de qualité & d'un raffinement peu ordinaires dans l'Ouest-de l'Île, & donc un oasis de civilisation entouré d'un désert de restauration rapide. Très apprécié!
Our best dining experience in the last 12 months.
This restaurant is QUIET. What a welcome change from the usual where you can't even hear your own thoughts let alone your companions voice!
Charming, unassuming artwork-adorned atmosphere in an old house. Beautiful.
Service was impeccable- there when they ought to be & not there otherwise. Perfect timing on everything from ordering to service.
Portion sizes were perfect as well with amuse-bouche & palate cleanser served without needing to order. Just perfect. Warm goat cheese with walnuts was delicious!
The chateaubriand was cooked to perfection. The molten chocolate cake rich & not too sweet. The only reason I didn't rate food 5 stars was the vegetables - the potato's & green beans were simply steamed - a little boring & plain. But the mushrooms were excellent!
There were many items on this menu that I'd choose ; we will definitely return to this resto within the next 3 months & highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys classic cuisine in a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect date night spot.

Comme toujours, nous avons été reçus comme des amis de la famille. Accueil chaleureux dans un décor choisi pour la circonstance.
Guichets fermés pour ce 1er service exceptionnellement ouvert un dimanche.
Le Surcouf à Ste-Anne de Bellevue nous a offert une table « Spéciale St-Valentin »qui a ravi nos papilles.
Service professionnel offert par une équipe triée parmi les meilleures… Merci à tout le personnel: vous faites partie de la popularité & de la spécialité française de ce resto qui en est à sa 3e génération !
This restaurant has been our regular haunt for the past 26 years. Always has wonderful food, & a warm fireplace in the winter months to add to the ye olde world cozy atmosphere. A veranda section is equally great in summer or winter. Their Bistro menu makes it reasonably affordable, but does not compromise on quality of the cuisine as is offered on their a la carte, both of which have always been most enticing. Last night's experience was equally enjoyable with my two French guests, whose culinary senses were fully satisfied with the main course of pork with camembert & apple sauce, & cuts of beef beautifully presented, accompanied with a nice bottle of the house Bordeaux, followed by their killer profiteroles, & mi-cuit de chocolat as finishing desserts! Highly recommended for anyone who likes a great night out, one you will remember for a long time to come.
