Shared the crepe suzette for two. The Bomb as my girlfriend Joyce put it! Thank you Dominique for your wonderful food & staff! Thank you to Stephane who served us. The service was impeccable! We were so well taken care of as usual!
We enjoyed another wonderful dinner on November 5, 2025. The service & food were absolutely amazing & the atmosphere never disappoints. We will definitely return very soon.
We had excellent service. We had guest & they were very satisfied & pleasantly impressed with the quality & portion of the plates. No dessert necessary to fill us up. All I can say is the quality of the food is equal to the quality of the service. 5 stars all around. To repeat soon.
We had not been to Le Surcouf, in probably more than 25 years.

This place is our go to for a classic, elegant & exquisite dinning experience. I love the fact that they resisted modernizing their offer like all the other places that have become generic. Le Surcouf is a real, authentic French restaurant that remained true to the tradition like no other on the island.
Un beau trésor caché dans la banlieue ouest. En couple ou entre ami, garantie d'avoir une belle soirée. Tout est bon sur le menu & une bonne carte des vins.
