About

It was in 1934 that Mr. Delisle and Mr. Morissette first opened Chez Delmo just up the street from where it is now. Back then it had 3 floors; a seafood restaurant on the main floor, a gaming house on the 2nd and brothel on the 3rd.

In 1964, Mr. Roland Périsset took over the operation and closed the 2 top floors.

Our menu has changed little over the past 80 years. Quality fish and seafood prepared and served in a traditional way. The house specialty is the Dover sole meunière. Our chefs take great pride in this dish, which used to be de-boned table-side, but now done just before serving. Our lobster bisque takes 2 days to create and the classic cream of tomato remains virtually unchanged for decades.

We have stayed true to cuisine classique, resisting the popular tide of nouvelle cuisine. Traditionally prepared quality seafood; unadorned and unembellished.

Over the years, Delmo has had its share of facelifts; the 18 bar-stools surrounding the granite bar are all that are left of the original 38. The iron sign outside and its original lighted tulips, were salvaged and still greet all our clients. The destruction of the original porcelain tile frieze that decorated the walls behind the bar prompted us to ask local muralist and celebrated artist, Carlito DalCeggio, to reproduce his version of the scenic garden party adorned with the verse from 18th English poet John Gay, “from wine what sudden friendship springs”.

Highly recommend Chez Delmo. The staff & management went above & beyond to accommodate my food allergy. I appreciate how easy they made it for me. The food was amazing & atmosphere was perfect. We went for dinner after a long day. If you have a food allergy make sure to reach out to the restaurant to give them a chance to prepare for your visit. Will definitely keep Chez Delmo in mind for our next trip to Montreal.

Absolutely delicious & unexpected from the cocktails, wine, beers, starters & entree's. I truly mean that. My wife & I have traveled across 25+ countries & I come back to this one as my most favorite! Adam surprised me with his modern yet simple twist on classic cocktails & Benoit helped to encourage me to a fantastic meal. After many visits in Montreal, this is by far my most memorable restaurant/friendly experience.

The seafood was some of the freshest seafood I've ever tasted especially the mussels! The Canadian bread pudding was spectacular!

The pandemic has curtailed my restaurant experiences in the last two years however, I was exuberant to receive an invitation to Chez Delmo recently. It was my third event there in as many years! The atmosphere was unique, elegant & charming & the the sitting arrangements allowed for privacy as well as maximum comfort. We were fortunate to be served by William who headed the service. What an extraordinary young man! Knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, skilled, & so entertaining! The meal was mouthwateringly delicious.....had the endive salad as well as the Lobster Roll which easily rivaled those I used to enjoy in Maine. Sumptuous! The host, Ben Dessureault was assuredly an exceptional individual....inclusive, informed, witty & elegant. I urge all to partake of this experience! There are so few things that come with an assurance, & this is one of them! What a wonderful way to spend the evening!

C'était pas mauvais, mais sans plus. À 75$ pour une assiette de pâtes, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux! Le service était agréable, mais assez long.

I was passing by the restaurant with my husband a few days ago & we were looking for someplace to eat with a great atmosphere. We were charmed by its looks even from the street point of view, so we decided to give it a try. & we weren't dissapointed! The ambiance of the Delmo is at the same time both class & warm, & it's exactly the type of restaurants that I like the most. Great selection of seafood, some vegetarian options too (even off-menu, you can just tell the waiter you're vegetarian & the kitchen will do something special for you) & a very good service. I recommend without a doubt & will come back for sure!
