Perfect lunch. Perfect service. Perfect atmosphere. Oysters, pan-seared walleye, purple roasted carrots, fresh baked maple syrup cake with ice cream. Just wonderful! read more

Gourmet seafood. The Clam Chowder was made from scratch, nice, creamy and light. The Beef Carpaccio was high quality and delicious. They offered a wonderful surprise crab cake amuse bouche. The Seafood Pasta was loaded with a variety of nice things. The lobster sauce had good flavor but would have benefitted from a generous splash of cream. The Walleye Amandine was fresh and light with a nice browned butter. The Pouding Chomeur A L'Erable was one of the best desserts I've ever had. It reminds me of a dish I've had elsewhere called Butter Cake. Think of a light caramelized cake, then add ice cream and a touch of make syrup. read more

A wonderful, classy, old school restaurant. Limited menu mostly focused on seafood. Everything I've ever tried has been wonderful. The Bloody Caesar is world class. Staff is outstanding - personable and efficient. In my opinion this is one of the top restaurants in Montreal. read more

Chez Delmo is a family run restaurant in old Montreal just a short walk from the Notre Dame cathedral. The menu offers a selection of fish and meat options. And a whole section on lobster prepared in different ways. There is an extensive wine list and a variety of cocktails and beer to choose from. All three in our party had lobster rolls that came with a side salad and fries. The lobster portions were generous with juicy claw meat, not just the shreds that are often served in other restaurants. We enjoyed them thoroughly. The best part was the service. Our server, Caroline, was not only completely attentive but good humored and very kind to our elderly family member. She is the best! read more

The quality of food and level of service is exceptional. My wife and I went here on a Thursday night. This is a family owned restaurant with generational pride in every thing they do. The Dover Sole is the best in the City. Desserts are elegant and devastating. There is intimate celebrity feel to this restaurant. I highly recommend. read more

Une expérience bizarre. J'étais avec une amie avec une réservation à partir de 11h30, le vendredi 7 mars 2025.La première fois que nous visitions cet établissement. Notre serveur nous avise que nous devrons quitter pour 15h00. D'accord pas de problème. INTERVENTION #2 : Un peu plus tard le gérant ou propriétaire vient nous parler pour nous aviser de nouveau que nous devrons quitter pour 15h00. Nous étions déjà au courant, pourquoi? Mon amie dit que d'habitude, dans les restaurants la cuisine ferme à une heure précise et ensuite on laisse les clients terminer leur assiette ou leur verre. Le gérant ou propriétaire insiste qu'une équipe de tournage doit venir et que ça coûte une fortune. Il est à peine 13h00. INTERVENTION #3 : Pour nous, le cas était clos, mais le serveur ramène le sujet, pourquoi? Il n'est pas encore 14h00. INTERVENTION #4 : le gérant ou propriétaire revient nous voir pour nous dire que les banques ferment à 15h00. Pourquoi, puisque pour nous tout était déjà réglé dès la première mention? Il est 14h00 et ni moi ni mon amie n'avons contesté la fermeture pour 15h00? Au moment de quitter, vers 15h00, après avoir payé une facture de plus de 550$, mon amie veut aller aux toilettes. Le chemin qu'elle prend pour s'y rendre est bloqué Elle revient sur ses pas et passe derrière un employé de l'équipe de tournage ou de photos penché sur une table. L'homme réagit agressivement en disant qu'elle lui a touché une hanche. Mon amie est surprise et réait de vive voix. Le propriétaire ou gérant affirme immédiatement appeler la police pour un cas de harcèlement sexuel (?). Il nous dit qu'il ne veut plus nous revoir dans son établissement. Surréaliste! read more

Chez Delmo - Bakers Dozen of phenomenal oysters. Best seafood restaurant in Montreal. - Seafood Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Service was extremely slow. I think the kitchen was backed up. But I'm not sure why considering The restaurant was probably only a quarter full. it also toa long time for us to get our bread and butter. I would say maybe about 20 mins. And then it took a while for us to get our water and soda refill. Two stars was because the server was very apologetic for it or else it would have been one star. We got the snow crab salad and clam chowder for starters. These are usually items little preparation but it took over 30'min to get: We got the lobster thermidor and it was way too cheesy. At times all you are was just eating big cheese. And I can't say I'm a fan of the sauce it was cooked in. Scallop were still somewhat cold inside. The walleye was surprisingly the best out of the three and had no complaints. But it took us probably over an hour to finally get our food. It ruined the mood. read more

Lovely service, terrific food. Calamari, scallops, Creole crab, crème brûlée. Wonderful experience for our 33rd anniversay.

We just had dinner at Chez Delmo and it was fantastic! The wait staff were great, very attentive and did not rush us. The food was fabulous wry favorable and well presented. The atmosphere was cool, from the 30s, it's quaint and well designed. David and Louis did a fab job of going above and beyond. We will definitely make another trip to Montreal to visit Che Delmo read more

Was absolutely blown away by this fine establishment. The service was good; waiter recommended an amazing white wine and the garlic bread (and the SAUCE) was absolutely delectable. The clam linguini and shrimp cocktail was also excellent. Ambiance was great, and definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to this year. Beyond wonderful. read more

Oh my goodness, where do I start?!?! I was dinning by myself, as I often do when traveling for work. This place was referred by my concierge. It was amazing. Service was wonderful. The whole staff was welcoming and friendly. It's a family fun restaurant. I felt so at home. And the food...I will have dreams about it!!! The bartender, William made an excellent old fashioned with his homemade bitters. Whenever I am back in Montreal, I will most definitely be dining here again. One of the most memorable restaurant experiences in my life. read more

We went to this restaurant last night and it was outstanding! The owner greeted us and was warm and welcoming. Wonderful ambiance and customer service and the food was delicious and very fresh. We enjoyed everything and will definitely be back! Highly recommend! -Angelique read more

From my phone call letting them know I was going to be a few minutes late for my reservation until the second I left, service was absolutely beyond outstanding and top-notch. I could write about this place for hours. I will try to do it justice. If you are looking to have an incredible 5 star experience, in a classy setting, with excellent food and (dare I mention magnificent service, again?), this is the place. It was the first heavy snow of the season, so they gave us a table by a window and it felt like I was in a movie. Now the food, we had the most delicious lobster bisque I have ever had in my life. We also ordered calamari for appetizer. For our main course, we ordered squid ink fettuccini with scallops and cod. It was terrific. For dessert, I can't remember the name, but it was a pudding/cake with a maple syrup sauce, it was truly divine. William and his father (the owner) were kind, they took the time to chat with us, to make us feel like they were so happy we were there; we really appreciated their efforts to make us feel so welcome. thank you so much. I reckon I might have just added a new restaurant to my list of top 5 best restaurant experiences of my life. read more

Service was the most attentive I've had in a long time. The ambiance was excellent as well.

COVID by far hot the food service industry as one of the hardest. Trying to find fantastic service like it's 2019 is so hard. Let me tell you, the family business and staff at Chez Delmo unquestionably have a passion for their work! They gave us complimentary salmon moose toast as an appetizer. The wine and cocktails were top notch. My wife and I had the salmon and the pan seared Walleye. The butter sauce on the walleye made it melt in your mouth. Another group wrapped up and were headed out the door and the owners were helping them get a cab. They gave us recommendations for breakfast/pastry shops tomorrow. Genuinely, you can't beat this group and how they legitimately care about their clients! Stop looking at other Yelp reviews right now and make the decision to go to Chez Delmo! read more

Wow, didn't expect to be writing this, as the restaurant has a good reputation. 3 out of 4 of us ended up not eating our meals (when you're paying $72 for a bowl of seafood pasta, you're kind of expecting it to be very good). I'm not sure what happened in the kitchen - maybe the cooks were distracted? Whatever happened, our seafood was so overcooked that it really was like trying to chew rubber and the lobster sauce that was advertised on the pasta was almost non-existent. If you moved the pasta around in the bowl, the bowl was dry. No sauce anywhere. So two of us had the seafood pasta at $72 each, another had the scallops ($48, comes with a smaller portion of veggies and no potatoes or starch of any kind). None of us were able to eat our meals as the seafood was just rubber. We ended up not staying for coffee or dessert. In case you're wondering if we were credited for 3 meals that weren't eaten - nope. Not even the offer of a free dessert. So that's our last visit there. I should mention the service was lovely and attentive. read more

what a complete disaster. My fiance ordered French fries which camemout soggy. we sent them back and the waiter brought BACK the soggy fries and said "thats how the chef prepares them" lucky for us they were now also cold. I ordered caviar which was served with blini and crème Fraiche. the chef added pepper and lemon zest to the crème fraiche which made it Inedible with the caviar. I suggested that if the chef wanted to be creative he should write poetry. next was the froed calamari which although from the same kitchen as the soggy fries somehow managed to be crispy, but so drowned in salt as to be ruined. All in all a very swlf indulgent chef and a very terrible meal. read more

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chez Delmo after a recommendation by a friend. It is decidedly one of our favorites in Montreal after a week of eating at the best the city offers. The highlight of our experience at Chez Delmo was the exceptional service and engaging conversations with the witty owner, Benoit. We had the opportunity try several items from their lunch menu on our three visits to the restaurant, one our favorites was the Lobster Club. The soups, in particular, were exceptional (Fish Soup - Crab Soup - Oyster Soup). The snow crab soup was a delicate light bisque with a suitable Indian spice that was worked perfectly well and is a specialty of Chez Delmo. We highly recommend Chez Delmo to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience in Montreal. The warm hospitality, remarkable staff, and amazing dishes will have you wanting to come back, so make sure you check this one out early if you are visiting. Thank you, Chez Delmo, Benoit and team for a remarkable dining experience, from your friends from San Diego! read more

This was a really great meal and experience! The service was great and the food delicious. I had a wall-eye fish, which I had never heard of before that was suggested by our waiter, and it was amazingly good. The ambiance was low-key and very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Was a bit disappointed overall given the rave suggestions from the Westin concierge. First the only one waitress working, she was great with attitude but best attitude can't make up for totally overwhelmed. What was more curious the greeter seemed like the owner having several glasses of wine but not once helping out. The wine we want wasn't available bummer to add to the above slow service. Wife order scallops that were not the best for its reputation I'd give it between three and four stars, had a weird outer coating that really took away from the quality scallop hiding below. I had escargot and foie gras if it wasn't for the fact I had it just two days before and at better place in Quebec City I'd have given it four stars. Overall dissapointed, wonder if all the stars on the wall felt the same, LOL read more

Spent all afternoon trying to find a nice restaurant for our last dinner in Montreal and finally decided on this place since the reviews were good and it looked nice. Best decision of the trip! We made a reservation and when we arrived we were seated and served quickly. We ordered halibut and walleye and both were incredible! I never used to particularly like seafood so we needed some recommendations from our waiter, and he was spot on! The flavors were amazing and the fish were so soft. This was our favorite meal of the trip for sure. The prices are a little higher ($35-$60) but it's worth it. If you're looking for awesome seafood, this is the place to go. I don't like going to the same restaurant more than once in another city, but if I came back to Montreal I'd be very tempted to come back here. read more

Came here after spending hours looking for the perfect dinner spot on our last night in Montreal. The choice did not disappoint! We ordered the Walleye and Halibut prepared via meunière over rice pilaf. It was hands down the most delicious meal of our trip! We will need to visit this restaurant again when back in Montreal. Too bad there are no picture evidence of our food. We didn't wait. read more

Decent food but definitely a bit over priced. We had our first meal here at Montreal since everything was busy and we enjoyed it. Slightly fancy place and good for dates too! They told us that they specialize in seafood so we had their freshly shucked oysters, seafood pasta and scallop ceviche. Have to admit that their oysters surprised me because I didn't know there are fresh oysters in Montreal - they were definitely very fresh. Their seafood pasta was also very good, giant scallops and the sauce was creamy and delicious. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. My table ordered the oysters, the walleye, clam chowder, and the mussels and fries. The waiter helped us find the perfect wine to pair with our food. He was absolutely amazing. Very well educated on wine pairings. The actual establishment was very clean. It was a Monday so the establishment was very quiet but the art on the walls was gorgeous. read more

Understated effortless elegance from start to finish. Staff and owner were charming and engaging. A great night.

Best table d'hote for lunch, always delicious. The artwork is also astounding. Love Delmos!!

Beautiful venue, beautiful people and amazing food! We randomly searched for a resto with oysters since we were craving them so much! We decided to try this place out. Never heard of it and we decided to wing it and swing by. We were happy to have valet service. Started really well. The hostess greeted us with a smile. She took our coats and told us to chose any seat we liked. It was pretty busy but the environment felt so calm and peaceful even though there were a lot of people. It had a romantic and calming atmosphere. The lights were dimmed the lovely candles glowing on every table ahh how beautiful. We ordered our favourites (oysters, oysters and more oysters) yummy they were Deeelicious. We also ordered scampis and my bf ordered the arctic char. Our food was very succulent. Wow that butter tasted like real butter!! everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. Service was phenomenal. Waitresses were so quick and friendly. I swear I did not expect much but after leaving this fine resto of over 80 years they really set the bar high for montreal. They are Amazing I am definitely coming back here again for more seafood delight. read more

From the minute I called this restaurant I was treated with nothing but rude and condescending service. We had a larger party which I understand is difficult to accommodate and offered to split into 2 smaller parties to make the reservations easier to fit. The host felt the need to explain that a table of 4 is very different than a table of of 6 which is a very obvious thing to understand. They were very short with us over the phone. I am hostess at a restaurant myself and I am appalled by the way we were spoken to when we were potentially going to give this restaurant business. If I spoke to customers the way this host did I would be shocked if they still decided to come in. Food is too overpriced and not worth this poor service experience. read more

Superb service, fabulous wine and delectable food! I will return. Highly recommend the scallops with squid ink pasta. Yum!

Perfect. Comfortable, unpretentious, warm service, charming owner, delicious seafood-forward menu. I am American visiting Montreal for the first time, from New York City and Philadelphia, and I have been impressed with the quality of food in Montreal restaurants and the warmth of the French Canadians who have taken care of us, and even with that prelude, this is the only restaurant I tried (until that evening), I would return to. read more

French seafood fine dining to go to! Be prepared to pay deep out of pocket but worth it for the price. Started out with the grilled octopus appetizer which was small but grilled to perfection and paired perfectly with the bruschetta. The BF had the Arctic char meunière (flat fish between a salmon and a trout) entree with rice and vegetables and I had the Chilean sea bass (a hearty meaty white fish) which I have had before with rice and mashed potatoes. While we were waiting for our entree to come out, they brought out a salmon croquette to cleanse our palates which was super tasty. Will definitely save money to splurge on my next dinner here when I come back read more

I went to Chez Delmo for a bachelorette party last summer. We all loved seafood so we decided on this place. However the food itself didn't wow me like I had hoped for this upscale restaurant. The clam chowder and lobster pasta were good, but I've had better elsewhere. The restaurant is very well situated in the old port, so it would be an ideal romantic spot for a date. Finding parking can be quite difficult though so plan ahead! read more
