Nous avons passé un très beau 2 heures pour notre visite au Surcouf. Nourriture & service impeccable & nous avons même eu le privilège d'échanger quelques mots avec le nouveau chef Benoit & la propriétaire . A recommencer bientôt. Merci pour votre accueil. Gilles
Le Surcouf is the essence of a fine dining restaurant, without the expectation of having to wear a suit or a dress to get in. It has been one of my favourite places to go for celebrations or quiet candle-lit dinners for over 20 years.

Service was good if we ignore the following : our waiter loudly complained about a competitor restaurant's food, most likely to take said competitor's clients. Very unpleasant to hear, unethical, dishonorable & unprofessional on his part. However the food & ambiance were great, although it can get abit loud when it's busy & is quite expensive.
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.

I have lived in the West Island for 17 years & only finally tried this place 😍 I can admit I have been missing out on such a gem! The food was delicious, the flavours were simple with such high quality. The atmosphere was so cosy & sophisticated & the service was lovely. Had a wonderful time. Their speciality wine is totally worth it!! Already excited to come & try more dishes 😊
I discovered this restaurant years ago & it has remained true to its mission which is to serve excellent food in a cosy & friendly setting. It is my go-to restaurant for special occasions.
Le Surcouf is our special place & it always excels, in ambiance, food quality, & service. The staff are so friendly & professional. Our meals were perfectly prepared & delicious.
