Overall, guests emphasize that the combination of cuisine, service, and setting makes Le Surcouf one of the standout French dining experiences in the area.
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.
We hadn't been to Le Surcouf since Covid. We were not disappointed with our recent visit. We couldn't have picked a better restaurant to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary.
We chose from the bistro menu. My wife had a superb filet of sole amandine & I had the excellent beef shoulder steak.
The service was top notch & the ambiance of an old family home in a quaint little town can't be surpassed.
To top off the evening our main server presented us with a $25 gift certificate to celebrate our anniversary. She remembered!!🥰
Excellent food...excellent service.........excellent price.... excellent atmosphere. The Bistro menu & wine selection is not to be beat, excellent value. The conclusion......SIMPLY EXCELLENT !
Food ,service & attention to detail are all excellent. The bistro menu on weekdays maintains the quality at an affordable price. No background music is a plus.
Many smaller rooms means the noise level is much lower so you can enjoy you own conversation
Never been disappointed

We opted for the bistro menu & had an incredibly delicious meal for a very reasonable price. The cod with the pistachio pesto was amazing. Yet another wonderful evening for us at Le Surcouf.
Another wonderful evening at Le Surcouf. The bistro menu offering during the week is fantastic. Allows for an upscale dinning treat during the week at a great price. We got a nice table near the fireplace. The service was very nice. The meal delicious. My wife had trout & I had a shepherd's pie with a twist. Made with pulled pork & sweet potatoes. Been numerous times & never have been disappointed. Our favorite go-to restaurant.

We've been dining at Le Surcouf for 20 years. Last night's meal was perfect as always....delicious, innovative cooking & terrific service, all for a very reasonable price on the bistro menu. Hats off to the chef, staff & owners.Can't wait to go back!
Le surcouf never disappoints! The food is delicous, the service attentive. Dining in this historical house admidst the vast selection of artwork is delightful. Extra bonus was that we came midweek & had the bistro menu!! Same delicious style of food for a bit less money.
Amazing little gem of a restaurant. Great menu, exquisite atmosphere, & very friendly staff. We tried their bistro menu & it was very well balanced. Great selection of wine. We are so happy to have this restaurant in our neighbourhood.

Notre premier repas fût une révélation: il y a un resto cuisine française à Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue qui fait de la bonne bouffe, même, de la très bonne bouffe. Nous étions sept pour célébrer un anniversaire & tous ont été ravi des mets servis, que ce soit un filet mignon cuit à la perfection, des pétoncles savoureux, ou encore les crevettes délectables, & j'en passe. Le service était attentionné & attentif.
La carte des vins est pleine d'importations privées. Plusieurs ont apprécié le menu bistro aux prix très raisonnables. Je recommande fortement un arrêt à ce restaurant établi depuis plusieurs années. Nous comptons y retourner pour explorer d'autres plats préparés avec soin. Quelle belle surprise, cette soirée!
