Description: The Old Surrey Restaurant is Surrey’s best well- kept secret. Built in 1918, it was the residence of Lou Jack and his household until it was converted into a restaurant in 1974. The interior has a crisp, clean aesthetic that is enhanced by hardwood floors and the enlarged photos of historic Surrey that adorn the walls. There are five distinct dining areas on the top floor (including a cozy library) and a banquet facility downstairs. The cuisine is French with a splash of West Coast flare. A treat for new and seasoned guests alike are the signature dishes that are prepared and flambeed tableside. The restaurant is family owned and operated since 1975. Since 1984 the restaurant has entered into a partnership with the family farm in Ryder Lake overlooking Chilliwack from the nearby mountains. The Old Surrey is well known for its free-range lamb and veal allowing customers to enjoy fresh organic ingredients.

Had the Mother's Day lunch menu and thought it was really average. It was $30 bucks per person. You get a muffin, a tiny fruit cocktail, a soup or salad and then there were a few choices for your main. I had the striploin steak which I thought was actually done nicely but my mom's fish was really bland. The... More

We had our parents 65th wedding anniversary here on Sunday evening. There were 18 of us in our own room enjoying and savoring the $42. group menu. Fabulous choices done to perfection. Everyone was thrilled with it - our elderly parents, us and grandchildren all loved the ambiance, the service, the food and the price.

We enjoyed a really nice dinner at this restaurant in Surrey, BC. It is located in an area that you wouldn't expect to find fine dining but worth the visit. Had a long chat with the owners who have been running the restaurant for a long time. They have weathered many challenges and economy changes and are still giving great... More

We have been dining here for many years now. The restaurant is a combination of elegance, charm, good food, and attentive service. I have taken parties as large as fourteen people or as last night, my wife and I only. What a pleasure to dine at an establishment that knows good food and good service. The wait staff is attentive... More

We have visited the Old Surrey several times usually to celebrate my birthday. The food is always great, well prepared and the service is exceptional. And it is not extraordinarily expensive! A must for the mature palate!

I have been going here since the place opened over 30 years ago!!!! Family run operation, service is excellent, food is superb, atmosphere wonderful. Old and quaint. They have monthly specials with a 3 course meal for $35.00. You CAN"T beat that! Much of the food comes from Val's farm in the valley. Val says he's retired but you see... More

The Old Surrey has been one of our favourites in the city of Surrey. A variety of eating rooms and decor fill the place with ambiance. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced.

We went as a group of eight for a friend's birthday and were all but ignored except to take our order and deliver the food and bring us the bill with the automatic tip. They didn't check on us before to take additional drink orders nor after delivering the food at all, which was especially egregious when the food was... More
