About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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 has been family-owned and operated since 1974 and in 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.

  • Chef's Table

    CA$130.00 per person

    May 30, 2025 only
    Once a month, we invite you to an intimate and immersive dining experience: the Chef’s Table. Set around a communal table for just 10 guests, the evening is built on connection—between guests, with the chef, and through the food itself. There is no menu. Instead, guests place their trust in the chef’s creativity and seasonal inspiration. Over the course of the evening, you’ll be guided through a multi-course tasting menu, each dish carefully crafted and paired with wines that elevate and complement the flavors. Every course is introduced personally by the chef, offering insight into the ingredients, techniques, and stories behind each plate. This is more than dinner—it’s a shared journey of flavor, spontaneity, and conversation. Seats are limited, and reservations are essential.

    We went to Old Surrey for a Mother's Day brunch. Service was good. We felt quite tended to. However the food was lacking. Our croissant was burnt on the top, my steak was over cooked and there were cuts into it. Perhaps this was a one off? I've seen esteemed  reviews for this restaurant hence we wanted to try. However, I'm not sure if I want to give this place another attempt considering the price to quality of dish from this visit.

    We had heard how great the restaurant was so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is older but well maintained -- expecting an older crowd it did not disappoint -- the appetizers were good to very good (beet salad and shrimp) --my wife had the shrimp starter as a main and i had the lamb shank(truthfully, the lamb had little to no flavour even with the sauce) The cheesecake desert was good and the service was attentive and not overbearing. The evening was very enjoyable and relaxing -- just a bit disappointing!!!
