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”.

Un lieu rare & à préserver. Ambiance à la fois feutrée, animée qui permet de se sentir chez soi - & de manger un peu plus tard dans la soirée. Cuisine délicieuse (cuisson du poisson parfaite, par exemple), variée & présentée avec soin. Choix large de vins & autres boissons. Le tout à des prix corrects. Chez Delmo, on trouve un personnel efficace, accueillant, respectueux & avec qui il est bon d'échanger. & puis, il est bon vivre aussi avec Benoît, au comptoir, en tranquillité.

Without equal, a Montreal icon dining experience, Chez Delmos is a giant, a happening spot, the epitome of refinement/elegance. Small, intimate, high end dining well worth the price of admission! Really, nothing in this city compares. Sitting, chatting with & being spoiled throughout dinner by Benoit/Adam (co-owners) is like dining with Kings & drinking with the emperors. Leave your children with the in-laws , max the city meter because you are not getting home "any time soon." Our favourite "special" place for all events, occasions, a true delightful experience from the moment you enter to the time you leave, a place that creates "souvenirs" as they say in French Montreal!!.

Bonjour!
Nous sommes entrés par hasard dans ce resto pour un apéritif.
Accueil courtois, service impeccable.
Belle ambiance.
Mais nous n'avons pas mangé à ce resto, parce que nous avions une réservation ailleurs.
Mais nous avons observé le service & les plats. Wow!
Nous allons y retourner, mais pour manger.
À bientôt!

J'ai bien aimé mon expérience dans ce restaurant. Il n’y a rien qui m'a impressionné, mais tout est bon & frais. Le cocktail de crevette géante est assez classique, la grande salade de fruits de mer est très généreuse & la coquille de fruits de mer, même si j'en ai mangé peu dans ma vie, est la meilleure que j'ai goutée. La sauce n'est pas trop présente & on goute bien les fruits de mer frais. Le service est très bien, par contre le décor est assez ordinaire, on s'attendrait à un peu plus pour un resto de ce prix. Avec leur vaste choix au menu, je crois que c'est un très bon resto pour les amateurs de fruits de mer & de poissons.
