Le Surcouf is a welcoming French restaurant established in a Victorian home for over 45 years now. Dominique and the chef Serge will be pleased to help you discover the fine French classic cuisine. In the fall the restaurant offers a special game menu in addition to their regular table d'hôte that you create yourself.
Le Surcouf consistently earns praise for excellent French cuisine, impeccable service, and a warm, elegant atmosphere in a charming old house with multiple intimate rooms. The wine list is excellent and dietary needs are well accommodated with gluten free options, making it a reliable choice for special occasions and relaxed dinners alike. While some guests note that prices can be on the higher side and that service can be slower on busy nights, the overall experience remains memorable and consistently high quality.
beautiful cozy restaurant.. staff was welcoming & accommodating for a few menu adjustments for me.. the food was delicious. we were happy we chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary! we will definitely be back…
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.

Went here for the first time to celebrate my birthday & loved it. Cozy atmosphere, excellent cocktails, & beautifully presented, delicious food from start to finish. Appetizers & desserts were amazing too. The staff's attention to detail made the evening feel very special!
Location just by the water, with beautiful artwork & a cozy vibe. Service was excellent & menu & specials gave lots of variety & exciting things to look forward to for future visits!
We really enjoyed our visit to Le Surcouf on Saturday, March 1st.
We started our culinary experience with complimentary zucchini quiche, followed by creamed mushroom soup (soup of the day), fois gras & lobster bisque. After which we had an apple sorbet to cleanse our palates. Main course consisted of rack of lamb & Flambéed pepper filet mignon. Desserts included:
Baba au Rhum, Crème Brûlée & Vanilla profiteroles in chocolate sauce. Wine list was varied & chose Massimago Mariabella 2022 (Valpolicella Ripasso).
Ambiance was cozy & welcoming. Lighting was soft & inviting.
Highlight of decor was the promotion of local artists' work. Extra promotion of local artist work, on labels of house wines.
The restaurant was a bit expensive, but its excellent service was worth the price.
We would add a light background music to enhance the ambiance.
Well worth the visit. & we will definitely return!

Went with friends to celebrate our birthdays & Le Surcouf made it very special. The food was excellent, service top notch & atmosphere very cozy with the fireplace, especially on a cold Montreal night! We highly recommend Le Surcouf & shall be back!
The atmosphere is warm & cozy. The building is an old house converted to a high end restaurant. Several dining rooms add to the intimate dining experience. Needless to say, the staff are incredibly attentive & very knowledgeable. Allergies are not a problem here, the staff bends over backwards to accommodate them. The food is perfection.
I've been to Le Surcouf a few times over the years, & it's always a great experience. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for an intimate meal, & the service is consistently excellent. The owner is very present, visiting tables & adding to the general atmosphere of refined bonhomie. What the menu lacks in variety, they more than make up for in quality & as a fan of French cuisine, I'm always impressed with the dishes. You really can't go wrong with any choice on the menu. This is real gem on the West Island, & must-try at least once.

My friends & I enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch. The variety on the menu was excellent, a choice to please for each of us.
The decorations are beautiful, so warm & cozy with the fireplace going.
The food was excellent & presented like a picture on the plate.
I will certainly bring my husband for dinner another time, he has to experience it.

Classic French cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. Best restaurant in the West Island...hands down! Veal kidneys in a Dijon sauce are highly recommended, as is the beef tar-tar.
