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 wife & I dined at Chez Delmo twice, while on vacation. A truly exceptional experience in all ways. The lobster bisque is to die for. Had a great time with Benoit, the co-owner, who was pleasant company.Voir plus
In Montreal for 1 night & Chez Delmo was recommended to us by our hotel concierge when we inquired about a local place to eat that had great seafood. The only reservation for 2 available was at the bar & we were ok with that. In the end I am so grateful we dined at the bar as David made our experience all that much better. He was very educated on the menu, made excellent recommendations', made sure his team paid attention to all the small details & had great conversation with us. It was fun watching him mix drinks & I admired his skill, so much so that I had to order a martini after watching him expertly make them. The lobster bisque was chalked full of succulent lobster in a lovely broth. We had beef tartare, which I generally hate but absolutely loved, & oysters to start. My husband had the catch of the day (halibut) while I dined on the creole crab. Everything was superb. We met the owners & heard some of the history of Chez Delmo. It is nice to see such pride in ownership. We definitely do not regret dining here & would make this a staple when we visit.Voir plus
Really We had an issue with an item & the Owner resolved it followed up as expected - no harm no foul. But I have to say after that resolution we were treated by the waitstaff as if we had leprosy. After the table was partially cleared, we waited for someone, anyone, to check in or offer a dessert menu..finally after 20 minutes we had to go chase the server to get one. Let me say, the restaurant was less than half full, so no excuse there. The Tiramsu was good, dish cleared, & we're back to leprosy status again....waiting another 20 minutes & completely ignored again, so we chase down the waiter again for the bill. Really wanted to let the owner know how disappointed we were but he seemed to have developed a singular chatty patty focus on 2 gentlemen seated at the bar. Finally got the bill after 25 minutes..& the waiter snatched the bill from my hand. Very very disappointed in the staff. About the food, the French onion soup & lobster bisque were very good but the walleye, a flakey white lake fish, was so over salted it was nearly inedible...& that's why the food is rated a 3....The waiter was terrible, the food was just ok... Will not go back ..EVER!!!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

En vacances, je souhaitais déguster du homard & j'ai trouvé l'ADRESSE pour combler ce voeu. Accueil & service excellents, cuisine raffinée, cadre agréable dans une vieille institution de Montréal. Merci tout particulier à Adrien pour ses conseils & son amabilité. Soirée réussieVoir plus
Lieu cosy , ambiance feutrée parfait pour un couple d'amoureux , accueil chaleureux & cuisiné ultra-maitrisé.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
