Chez Delmo

We had a very nice lunch at Chez Delmo. One thing I really appreciated was that they asked about food allergies as soon as we were seated, which made us feel more comfortable ordering seafood.

The oysters were fresh & delicious overall, although unfortunately we did get one bad that tasted quite unpleasant. We mentioned it to the manager, he handled the situation very nicely & brought us another oysters. We really appreciated the way they responded.

We also tried the tuna, which was very good, & the salmon with the $6 upgrade was a nice choice as well.

Overall, the food was enjoyable, the service was attentive, & even though there was a small issue with one oyster, the way it was handled left us with a good impression. Definitely a restaurant we would come back to.

We started with a small tomato soup, & a small salad & as a main we had scallops with a carrot purée, & the seafood linguini. It was all fresh & good tasting & nicely presented…the flavours were simple & clean. We really appreciated the valet parking (15$).

Great seafood restaurant! Top quality, fresh ingredients & generous portions. The greeting is warm & professional, the service is efficient & very friendly. Arguably the best seafood restaurant in Montreal, certainly the oldest, just a 2 minute walk from the Notre Dame basilica in the Old Port. As you come in you are greeted by one of the owners through the bar section, where you can see the original stools & lamps from the 1930s. You get the feel of a classic neighbourhood joint, full of regulars.The cocktails are very generous (6 oz martinis). They have an nice seafood tower, very festive . The seafood pasta is outstanding. The Dover sole Meuniere is the house specialty, & it's the best i've had anywhere. Also we tried lobster ravioli, which was a highlight. The staff is young, super friendly & professional, & the owners are charming. Strongly recommend, overall a great value. They offer indoor valet parking for $15

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!

Best seafood in Montreal. Fresh. Magnificently prepared tender fish probably steam-oven cooked. COD recommended. Friendly & very welcoming atmosphere. Strongly recommended.

Everything about Chez Delmo is exactly what you'd hope for in a top-notch spot in Old Montreal. The moment you walk in, you feel the perfect blend of modern style with a touch of historic charm, it's classy without being stuffy.

We kicked things off with the Clam Chowder & a Shrimp Cocktail. Both were fresh, flavorful, & a great start to the meal. For the mains, we went with the Seafood Linguine & the Dover Sole, & honestly, both were outstanding. The flavours were clean & well balanced, & you could tell the ingredients were top quality.

The service really stood out too friendly, attentive, & never rushed. The partnership in which the owners present themselves matches the restaurant's brand.

Overall, Chez Delmo gave us one of those dining experiences where everything just works, & works well. Great food, great service, & a setting that makes the evening feel special. It's definitely a place we'd go back to & recommend to anyone visiting Old Montreal.

Everything is fresh & tastes good, but a bit overpriced due to its location.

It's rare to find a restaurant that truly delivers on every front-ambience, service, & most importantly, food-but this place absolutely nailed it. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience.

We started with a selection of appetizers that impressed across the board. The grilled octopus had a wonderful smoky flavor, perfectly complemented by well-seasoned greens. The calamari was delightfully crispy & light, not greasy. We had the following soups: the tomato soup was rich & creamy with a beautifully balanced flavor, the lobster bisque was loaded with tender lobster chunks, & the clam chowder was indulgently creamy & brimming with fresh clam meat.

For our main courses, we tried the walleye, scallops, the Creole crab & lobster ravioli. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared & bursting with flavor. The ravioli was stuffed generously with real lobster meat & none of the usual tasteless filler (cheese). Every plate was a hit with our group.

Service was top-notch, & a big part of that was thanks to our server, William. He was friendly, attentive, & genuinely made our night better. If you're heading here, definitely ask for William's table-he's exactly the kind of server you hope for when dining out.

This restaurant has earned a spot at the top of my list, & I'll definitely be back when I'm in Montreal again.
