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.

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
Great food, great service, & really great drinks. Really nice family owned restaurant. Highly recommend well worth the trip & money!Voir plus
We had lunch here recently & can highly recommend this restaurant. Both food & service were great. Staff were super friendly.Voir plus
Great seafood restaurant! 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
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chez Delmo during a visit to town for a conference, & I can't recommend it enough. A large group of us walked in unannounced, & yet, they were able to accommodate us immediately, which speaks volumes about their hospitality. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed & classy, offering a setting that is both elegant & welcoming.
Owner Benoit was an absolute delight-his warmth & charisma added a personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. Our server, David, was equally impressive. He was not only attentive & professional, but also incredibly informative, ensuring we felt taken care of throughout the meal.
Each dish was absolutely exquisite & the entire experience, from the ambiance to the food to the service, was nothing short of unforgettable. If you're ever in town, make sure to visit Chez Delmo, it's an absolute gem.Voir plus
Comfortable environment with friendly staff. I love the food here a lot. One of my best dinners in Canada. Highly recommend it if you visit Montréal !Voir plus
Visiting chez delmo was a weird experience. When you visit the website, you expect a bright seafood lovers paradise driven by a long tradition over the many years this restaurant has been open. Badges galore as we scroll on the website as they are a top 3 Montreal seafood restaurant, hence you book a table with creditcard guarantee which enhances the expectations even more. Come dinner night, you enter what can only be described as a sports bar with two tv screens playing sports in a otherwise dark, loud & cheap looking place because of the furniture. So far the ambiance. Service is top with all waiters friendly & giving advice where needed. On to the food. Fish & chips were really nice. Lots of flavour in the batter & fresh made tatare sauce. Main was the seafood pasta which, as signature dish, at 75$ cad a plate was a expensive dish for half a (very small) lobster tale, two scallops, 2 shrimps & 4 very small mussels. The dish went for a smokey flavour but ended up leaving a burned aftertaste with every bite. I would not recommend, especially if I compare a 350$ cad bill at the end of the evening.Voir plus
Incredible food!!!! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone! From the delicious food to the amazing service to the welcoming by the owner. More than dinner it's an experience!Voir plus
What an amazing experience!! My Father & I visited Chez Delmo for dinner, & the hospitality, ambiance & the food was an absolute experience!! William & Benoit are my new best friends, & I highly recommend Chez Delmo if you love great seafood & great people!!Voir plus
Way over priced for the quality of food that they give you. We had some of their most expensive seafood plates & none of them were good enough for the price that they're charging in quality presentation or taste. I was very disappointed, As I had Much higher expectation of this place. Will not recommend it to anyone , there are much better options for this price.Voir plus
Fabulous! That's the word I'd use to describe one of the oldest & best restaurants of Montreal, Chez Delmo. Haven't been here for a while since we live in Europe with my wife, but every time its is always a pleasure to be greeted by Benoit & his wonderful team. The food is always good, this time I've tried their new Lobster Club sandwich (btw the best sandwich I ever had) & my wife ordered the Seafood Tagliatelle, which she adored. The waiters were super nice & professional as expected, & the owner recognized us & spent a good 15 mins talking to us at our table, which was lovely. I recommend without hesitation!Voir plus
Highly recommend Chez Delmo. The staff & management went above & beyond to accommodate my food allergy. I appreciate how easy they made it for me. The food was amazing & atmosphere was perfect. We went for dinner after a long day. If you have a food allergy make sure to reach out to the restaurant to give them a chance to prepare for your visit. Will definitely keep Chez Delmo in mind for our next trip to Montreal.Voir plus
I was passing by the restaurant with my husband a few days ago & we were looking for someplace to eat with a great atmosphere. We were charmed by its looks even from the street point of view, so we decided to give it a try. & we weren't dissapointed! The ambiance of the Delmo is at the same time both class & warm, & it's exactly the type of restaurants that I like the most. Great selection of seafood, some vegetarian options too (even off-menu, you can just tell the waiter you're vegetarian & the kitchen will do something special for you) & a very good service. I recommend without a doubt & will come back for sure!Voir plus
The scallops were excellent - the classic crème de tomate has always been great over 40 years of me going regularly to Chez Delmo! I highly recommend this restaurantVoir plus
We really enjoyed our experience at Chez Delmo. We ordered the oysters, tomato soup, salmon tartare & the Dover sole. Everything was really good. Ian, our waiter was superb. We had a lot of questions for him. I had no room for dessert but wish I did :) I highly recommend.Voir plus
Very good Friend of mine was in Town from the Caribbean this week. I personally am on a special diet & can only eat Seafood so we looked for a restaurant that served that but with a good rating. Chez Delmo seemed to be a choice that was fair enough to try. Now bear in mind that I am a critic that will tell it as it is without filter. We were greeted warmly by the host & our Jackets were hung up for us. Once seated, we didn't wait long to be greeted by our Waiter & asked wahat we would like yo drink. After ordering our entrees & food, we were given complimentary taste of something that I forgot the name of but found it unique but very tasty. For Supper, my friend ordered the Surf & Turf & I had the Holland Dover Sole. The Food was cooked just right & very tasty. The Ungava Gin Tonic / Soda was well proportioned & tasted just right. If I can give this restaurant 20 stars I would because honestly the experience there was so good. I highly recommend Chez Delmo. I certainly will be going back very soonand will definitely bring friends & family to experience this Beautiful restaurant. Thanks for reading & thank you Chez Delmo for such a wonderful experience.Voir plus
