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”.

Walleye was one of the most perfect meals I've had in a very long time. Ian was an excellent waiter. Atmosphere was comfortable & relaxed, but still fancy & special.

We really enjoyed our experience at Chez Delmo. We ordered the oysters, tomato soup, salmon tartare & the Dover sole. Everything was really good. Ian, our waiter was superb. We had a lot of questions for him. I had no room for dessert but wish I did :) I highly recommend.

Very cozy restaurant & attentive staff. We had a delicious seafood pasta & langoustines. All staff (particularly our server, Ian) paid great attention to detail which made for a wonderful dining experience.

Very good Friend of mine was in Town from the Caribbean this week. I personally am on a special diet & can only eat Seafood so we looked for a restaurant that served that but with a good rating. Chez Delmo seemed to be a choice that was fair enough to try. Now bear in mind that I am a critic that will tell it as it is without filter. We were greeted warmly by the host & our Jackets were hung up for us. Once seated, we didn't wait long to be greeted by our Waiter & asked wahat we would like yo drink. After ordering our entrees & food, we were given complimentary taste of something that I forgot the name of but found it unique but very tasty. For Supper, my friend ordered the Surf & Turf & I had the Holland Dover Sole. The Food was cooked just right & very tasty. The Ungava Gin Tonic / Soda was well proportioned & tasted just right. If I can give this restaurant 20 stars I would because honestly the experience there was so good. I highly recommend Chez Delmo. I certainly will be going back very soonand will definitely bring friends & family to experience this Beautiful restaurant. Thanks for reading & thank you Chez Delmo for such a wonderful experience.
