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”.

We had a great dinner at Chez Delmo. The steak tartare was excellent-fresh, well seasoned, & one of the best I've had. The calamari was also perfectly cooked & a great starter. They have a good wine list with plenty of options, & the staff were friendly, attentive, & made us feel welcome throughout the evening. Would definitely come back.

Great seafood restaurant. Nice clean decor with artistic murals, professional management. Friendly , & professional waiters. The drinks are fabulous, great bloody caesars & huge martinis. We had soups (lobster bisque) & different entrees. All were great. One of us in our party is allergic to seafood, so I mentioned when I reserved & they had planned accordingly. OveralI a memorable experience, fresh, quality food, reasonable prices on everything, even the wine. If you want the best quality this is it. The seafood pasta is the best: fresh pasta with large chunks of lobster, jumbo shrimps, scallops & huge clams, in a lobster sauce. I could eat it everyday.The tables are far apart which is nice, & there are large windows overlooking beautiful buildings. Can't wait to go back!

Je me suis rendu dans ce restaurant un peu par hasard ; ayant entendu que c'était la bonne période pour manger du homard, j'avais jeté mon dévolu sur cette enseigne réputée de Montréal.

Je savais parfaitement ce que je voulais en entrant, ayant déjà étudié la carte. Si les douze huîtres servaient de mise en bouche, les asperges qui suivirent auguraient le meilleur pour la suite, tant leur fraîcheur & leur cuisson étaient parfaites.

C'était sans compter sur l'intervention du patron, Benoît, un vieux loup de mer, qui me fit changer d'avis pour son fameux club-sandwich au homard : tout simplement divin. Sur ses conseils, j'ai terminé ce repas par un pouding exceptionnel, conclusion parfaite à ce moment de grâce.

Ce fut un instant privilégié où tout était au rendez-vous : convivialité, rigueur & discrétion. Du service à la qualité des produits (petit clin d'oeil personnel), jusqu'à cette attention teintée d'une bienveillance feutrée qui, finalement, est sans aucun doute le plus important. Tout ceci reste subjectif, évidemment, d'autant plus que le patron tentait de me corrompre avec sa bouteille de poire laissée à ma disposition.

Mais finalement, le plus beau des compliments n'est-il pas le sourire que j'ai pu observer sur le visage de tous les clients au moment de quitter l'établissement ? Une adresse à ne louper sous aucun prétexte. Je n'aurais qu'un seul mot : merci.

Wonderful restaurant & very friendly to their guests. I called & asked them to make my parents experience special (it was my mother's birthday) & they were more than happy to accommodate. They went out of their way to make it a very memorable meal for them.

This restaurant was recommended to me by a wonderful friend. I am visiting with my father for the Grand Prix weekend & this was a fantastic way to start the trip. Chez Delmo has impeccable seafood, service, & atmosphere. The location is perfectly situated in Old Montreal. Clement & all of the staff were very attentive & kind. The warm vanilla cake with maple syrup was the best way to end the night (plus some tiramisu as well). I would recommend this restaurant to any & everyone!

Best Espresso Martinis around. Unforgettable pouding chômeur. Splendid evening over drinks at the bar served by a warm & lovely staff, & getting to know Benoît. Neighbourhood joint to visit again & again.
