"this restaurant is a step back into the time. it is a lot of a special occasion/romantic dinner restaurant that we did not recognize until we arrived there. we sat in a cozy side on the lower level, which had wood cladding, chandelier and artwork. for sale. the tables were well spaced. it was charming and was neither cheesy nor pretentious. they take their weights, give them up, put them on them when they go. eating is very good. well prepared, well presented and in a reasonable portion size especially for a French restaurant. I had the carrot soup, the bavette and the apple cake. everything was delicious, well spiced and sown. the apple cake took about 15 minutes to come, but it was worth waiting. the crust was buttery and the temperature was exactly right. there was also an amuse book and a pallet cleaner. the prices are appropriate for quality and portion size. the service was attentive. while our waitress English spoke, she was obviously more comfortable in French. lower dinge, but she offered the tables next to us fresh comminuted pfeffer, but not for us. I asked and she brought it with. she engaged in much more chat, laughing and bantering with the French speaking tables and was very business as with us. I even spoke to her in French, as I was the only person on our table, who spoke French, but she still spoke to me in English majority, which was strange. Nevertheless, her English was more than sufficient to wait our table, she was efficient, checked if we enjoyed the food and if we needed something else. she described all the dishes and gave good recommendations. the other problem is that we were looking for a restaurant in Ile-Bizard. from any reason this restaurant is advertised as on the island if it is not. it is more or less at the beginning of the boul. Ste-Charles and gouin in Ste-Genevieve. it was a happy mistake because I probably never had gone over this restaurant or to him. I would have dispensed with a wonderful culinary experience. I would not hesitate to go back and I would highly recommend this restaurant."

"I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant. This review covers the last two visits here, once in the summer, and then in the fall.This was the first place where I experienced a lime sorbet as a palate cleanser between courses many years...ago. So special. The bread basket is also always accompanied with something special each time. The last two times with different groups of people, we were tantalized with warm cheese and walnut mini muffins. The crazy salad on the menu is a sizable bowl of colourful vegetables dressed lightly with a tangy vinaigrette. The soup of the day for the summer time is sometimes a cold one like a gazpacho or Vichyssoise or something warm like a butternut squash one in the fall. The menu is updated seasonally. There is a wonderfully priced 2 course Bistro menu on Sunday through Thursday for $28 (at time of writing). The service is always gentle and friendly. You can tell that there are repeat guests here because the staff seem to know their guests by name. So far, my favourite meals are the meat and fish ones over the pasta options. You know a restaurant is led well in the kitchen when the calf liver is perfectly pan fried, staying tender with no strong aroma or when a tough piece of beef shoulder is fork tender. For now, the duck breast is still my 1 favourite. The vegetable sides are also tender with a tiny bit of char and a small bite crisp still left. I have also enjoyed my dessert choices, from crème caramel to chocolate profiteroles to dark chocolate molten cake. I especially love it when some of the desserts are served on black slate plates. The final touch of fancy is when the bill comes with a serving of candied grapefruit peel dipped in chocolate. It makes me feel that my presence was welcomed. I recommend Le Surcouf for any and every occasion. The food is expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Gluten free options are available. Feel free to call in advance to check. Owner Dominique is very responsive. Added to the ambiance are walls adorned with paintings that guests may purchase. PS I only found out recently that the restaurant has 8 parking spots behind their beautiful Victorian house property. This is helpful to know in the height of summer when the waterfront is packed with people."
