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.

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

Great seafood restaurant! A bit pricey but top quality, fresh ingredients & generous portions. The greeting is fast & professional, the service is efficient & friendly. Overall a special place, a family owned restaurant, the interactions between the owners & their children are hilarious & makes the atmosphere very special. 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 neighborhood 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

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

My mother & I ate here last night & not only was this the highlight of our trip to Montreal, it became one of my favorite restaurants in just the two short hours we spent dining here. The owner, Benoit, has run the place for almost 15 years, & he & his children (both waiters/bartenders) were overwhelmingly hospitable. They shared family stories & the history of the restaurant throughout the meal, making our experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend sitting at the bar not only for a better view of the whole restaurant but also for the chance to talk & learn from Benoit (who will not pull his punches if you are American or don't finish your food 😂). The fish is also spectacular, & the combination of incredible food & atmosphere made this one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in years.Voir plus

My server William was very helpful in navigating the menu & was incredibly personable & charismatic. It was also a real pleasure meeting the owner of the restaurant. The food was delicious & the staff really made me feel at home. Loved the seafood pasta. Best gin Martini in Montreal. Will be sending people in the future.Voir plus

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.Voir plus

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the delicious cuisine, the incredible service & the cozy atmosphere, I would go back to Montreal from Pittsburgh solely to return to this incredible family run restaurant. Merci!!!Voir plus
