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.

Very nice restaurant The food, the service & especially the Chef Delmo. He visited our table & was very welcoming.
We eat the Lobster Rolls & they were delicious.Voir plus
What a lovely lunch we had while visiting Montreal. We were wandering in the cold & happened to blindly pop into this adorable neighborhood gem. We were welcomed by the owner & seated at the bar as requested. We had a lovely time chatting with him & his daughter. I wish I had gotten their names. The food was spectacular! Started off with a lovely cabbage salad, so fresh & the perfect amount of vinegarette to wake the palate. Next came the lobster bisque, which is so flavorful with large pieces of lobster meat. Not the thick almost gelatinous mess you can sometimes get while dining out. Their recipe is light & so velvety. Next came the lobster roll which was accomplished by a green balsamic vinegarette dressed salad & the most delicious thin & crunchy French fries. The lobster roll was outstanding! The bun was the perfect amount of soft yet toasty & buttery. It was packed with large chunks of soft moist lobster with a light creamy dressing. A little hint of onion or shallot & a whisper of cilantro. If we were locals we would be frequent guests! Already looking forward to coming back this summer!Voir plus
Chez Delmo was an amazing experience from the moment my wife & I stepped through their door. From the owner, to his lovely daughter behind the bar & his attentive son on the waitstaff. This was our first time in, but certainly not our last. The lobster bisque was a true delight to the palate & the lobster roll, was the best I have ever had. Fresh,firm,abundance of lobster tossed in the most perfect dressing. Certainly a must go if you're in the area, guaranteed to not disappoint.Voir plus
The lobster roll, the spicy crab dish, shrimp cocktail & famous pudding were excellent. You should also ask for the habanero secret sauce. The owner welcomes everyone & his son was very friendly. Great food & great service!Voir plus
Wow! All I can say is wow. The lobster roll that I just had is going to be in my dreams now.Voir plus
The pandemic has curtailed my restaurant experiences in the last two years however, I was exuberant to receive an invitation to Chez Delmo recently. It was my third event there in as many years! The atmosphere was unique, elegant & charming & the the sitting arrangements allowed for privacy as well as maximum comfort. We were fortunate to be served by William who headed the service. What an extraordinary young man! Knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, skilled, & so entertaining! The meal was mouthwateringly delicious.....had the endive salad as well as the Lobster Roll which easily rivaled those I used to enjoy in Maine. Sumptuous! The host, Ben Dessureault was assuredly an exceptional individual....inclusive, informed, witty & elegant. I urge all to partake of this experience! There are so few things that come with an assurance, & this is one of them! What a wonderful way to spend the evening!Voir plus

Adrien took real good care of us & the owner was amazingly hospital off the bat. I will remember to keep my hat off next time haha.
Food was amazing, wish we could try more.
Walleye au amandine, Scallops meuniere, Beef Tartare & Lobster rolls. Well paired with a good wine & some cocktails.
Dessert was amazing as well, some sort of pancake mousse with maple syrup, forgot the name but pictures provided.
