The quay in Cancale is lined with restaurants, many appear cafeteria style with massive menus serving hundreds of people at a time, Le Surcouf is a small restaurant with a much nicer ambiance for enjoying a seafood meal. The lunch menu for 15 euros is excellent value. Our entrees were excellent: fish soup and 9 oysters nicely presented on a... More

Tiny portions and wine so expensive. (47€ for the cheapest red ) we stuck to water. Plates removed before we had all finished the main course. Cider not available, apparently it doesn't go with their food. The menu is deceptive, amagret de canard must offer more than two mouthfuls of duck. It was an awful experience which we certainly won't... More

Had lunch here after a recomendation from friends. Weather was good so sat on terrace with good view over the bay (the tide was in!). Service was very good. Had oysters (a must in Cancale) to start and then fish for mains. Portions were reasonable and overall we were very impressed, even for France, with the quality of food and... More

We went in family to that seafood dominated restaurant. The seashell plater was pretty good while the rest was good but not exceptionnal. We had some filet of Saint-Pierre served with vegetable not very well cooked. Dessert was good. A very positive point was the service. The staff was very well trained and welcome us and our young daughter warmly.... More

I have never been to Cancale, having walked briefly across the many restaurants facing the sea I noticed Le Surcouf. I saw they had been Michelin rated and grabbed a terrace seat with my girlfriend. We were greeted immediately, ordered wine to share and a medium plateau de fruits de mer for 33 Euro to share. When the cheque came... More

We had a very nice dinner here on a family trip to France. Nothing over the top but quite good, casual, and with good service. The owner took care to greet each table and was kind to help us muddle through the menu with our language barriers. Delicious scallops. Small portions compared to other restaurants in the area. However, the... More
