    Our server, Madagascar David was exceptional. His assistant was a delight as well. And to top it off Benoit (owner/manager) made us feel right at home, very personable and attentive to everyone who comes through Chez Delmo’s Will be back when we return to Montreal in spring time. As far as the dining goes, excellent seafood, the dining experience and plates are on point. Oysters are excellent as well as the scallops and the crab creole 👍🏼. If you’re in Montreal go to Chez Delmo

    The restaurant is in the lobby of a hotel. I was unaware of that. There are not a lot of tables. We came after looking at the menu and when ordering we were told the foie gras was not available. A BIG disappointment. So I ordered the octopus with chorizo. The presentation was well done, the taste and texture was excellent. I also ordered the duck. Again the presentation was nicely plated and the flavors were beautifully executed, but it was overcooked and tough. My wife had a pear salad that was very tasty and the lamb, which I thought was very gamey, my wife enjoyed it a lot. Also beautifully presented over a bed of couscous. The wine selection was not huge but had enough choices to make us happy. The service was excellent. Very attentive and pleasant.
