À propos
C’est en 1934 que messieurs Delisle et Morissette ouvrent leur restaurant emblématique à quelques pas de l’adresse actuelle. Il y avait 3 étages à l’époque : le restaurant était au premier, une salle de jeu occupait le second et une maison close le 3ème.
En 1964, Monsieur Roland Périsset reprend l’opération et ferme les étages supérieurs.
Notre carte a peu changé depuis 80 ans : poissons et fruits de mer y sont à l’honneur, servis de façon traditionnelle. Nos chefs sont fiers de leur sole de Douvres meunière, signature de la maison que l’on désarêtait autrefois à la table.
Nous sommes restés fidèles aux méthodes traditionnelles, résistant aux modes de la nouvelle cuisine. Il faut 2 jours pour préparer la bisque de homard artisanale, et la recette de la crème à la tomate demeure inchangée depuis des décennies. La présentation des poissons d’une fraicheur et qualité irréprochables est simple, sans artifice.
Au fil des ans, le restaurant change de visage à plusieurs reprises. Il ne reste que la moitié des 38 bancs qui ornaient les fameux bars ou se pressaient tous les midis les avocats, juges, financiers, assureurs et banquiers du Vieux-Montréal. Les bancs, identifiés du nom de nos plus fidèles clients, sont d’époque. L’enseigne extérieure, bosselée à la main par un ferblantier et couronnée de ses 2 tulipes, accueille toujours les clients. Il ne subsiste par contre que les photos de la fresque en porcelaine au dessus du bar à l’époque et qui arborait fièrement les mots : « From wine was sudden friendship springs » tirés de la fable de John Gay ‘The squire and his cur’. Celle-ci fut remplacée par un magnifique tableau du peintre et muraliste montréalais Carlito DalCeggio.

Great seafood restaurant! A bit pricey but top quality, fresh ingredients & generous portions. The greeting is fast & professional, the service is efficient & friendly. Arguably the best seafood restaurant in Montreal, certainly the oldest, just a 3 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, very busy. The cocktails are generous (6 oz martinis). They have an outstanding 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 super friendly & professional, & the owners are charming. Strongly recommend, overall a great value. Valet parking.Voir plus

The seafood was all jumbo & not as flavorful as it could have been, but still rather good so I can't complain about that. I was confused to be served a caviar dish without a pearl spoon, i had to ask for it & was told that' not many people know this', which I'm not sure if I should take as a compliment or an insult? The first interaction I had when I came in was the owner who was at the host stand, writing something down & not acknowledging my presence, so I greeted him to make sure he saw me. He doesn't look up for a couple minutes, looks me up & down & asks me what I want... So I asked him how he was doing, he said'good' & just nothing else. I really think that if I hadn't had a reservation he would have refused me service. He seemed very intense on not serving me. It's a shame because the rest of his staff is excellent, but he needs an attitude check. You can't treat customers like they're a bother when they spend $300 to have dinner with youVoir plus

What an amazing experience! My wife & daughter & I were visiting Montreal recently & wanted seafood. Based on Yelp reviews, we chose to try Chez Delmo & made reservations. Our table was ready right away, & the service was fantastic from beginning to end. From great recommendations about must-try dishes (the Lobster Club, for example) to wine pairings, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. To top it off, we were there at the same time a celebrity (who shall remain nameless here) was dining there, & as we were finishing our dinner we got chatting with Benoit who graciously spent a lot of time with us chatting about life, family, & everything else. We didn't just have a terrific dining experience, we feel like we made some new friends.Voir plus

Great food, delicious. Service was excellent. Not pushy, very attentive. Place was dated, but definitely had a lot of charm. Would definitely go back.Voir plus
Veronique
Décevant pour le prix. Chaudrée de palourdes froides, très liquide. Plat ordinaire, beurre noirci dans l'assiette, légumes sans goût, aucun assaisonnement. Serveur gentil, mais quelques lacunes. Ambiance ennuyante. Il n'y avait pas de musique la première heure. Pour 400$ pour deux personnes, il y a de meilleures options.Voir plus

We try & have ourselves a giant seafood platter dinner once in a while. As we're planning on moving to Montreal in the future, we thought we'd start with Chez Delmo.
They humorously sat us at a two-top. We tried to warn them. We ordered. We were promptly reseated 😆
Everything looked, smelled, & tasted fantastic. From the gigantic shrimp to the extra oysters. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. You've set the bar pretty high.Voir plus

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

Decent atmosphere & service was very good. Quite a pricey place to eat but food was overall very good, disappointed that the grilled octopus wasn't that flavourful & wasn't tender enough. Beef tartare had a nice spicier twist on a classic base of flavours which was a nice touch. Overall, enjoyed the food here but I expected a bit better.Voir plus

Excellent service followed by amazing dishes. We celebrated our mother's birthday here & we all took full course meals, all delicious! An amazing selection of wine as well as great cocktails (yes we had both).
The pudding chomeur is something to try for dessert!
Great experience, thank you!Voir plus
