Very nice evening. Food was excellent aside from 1 dish (4 people). I person found that the veal was undercooked.
Cod was great, Dover sole was excellent. Apps & dessert very good as well.
Thanks
We've been coming to Surcouf since it opened. The food & service are always excellent. The ambiance is one of the things we like most after the eating experience. Our server was young & quite busy, working alone on Jan 24 but she did a good job considering. Thank you.
Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in years. The food was perfect, the staff were great & the place is just adorable & immaculate. Go. Now.

All aspects of this restaurant wrap into a most memorable experience. The food is consistently excellent — the four in our party ordered 10 different dishes — with inventive twists on traditional items, & the service is perfectly attentive without intrusion. Nestled in an historic house with original art on every wall, it is is a delight to all senses. This was my second visit to Le Surcouf — it is now a "must-do" every trip to the Montreal area.
Delicious food, quaint atmosphere, reasonable prices for 2 people with wine & dessert. Great spot for a special date if you are celebrating or aim to impress.
J'ai pour la première fois pris la table d'hôte, entrées excellentes (crème brûlée au foie gras & potage du jour à l'asperge), mais le plat principal s'est avéré décevant. Le croustillant de canard était en fait un effiloché non confit & le boeuf coriace. Pour fe qui est des desserts : Mont blanc excellent, mais le mi-cuit au chocolat s'est avéré être complètement cuit.

Soiree tres agréable personnel courtois & a l'écoute. Bonne ambiance. Nourriture excellente. C"est un endroit ou l'on peux prendre le temps de savourer chaque plat sans se sentir presse.
Merveilleuse soirée. Personnel avenant & très attentif. Nourriture & présentation de qualité supérieure. Il y avait longtemps que nous étions allé au Surcouf. Nous y retournerons plus souvent..
