Having just arrived in Montreal, this meal was so perfect we almost wanted to pack up and leave the next morning. Even though we had no reservation, were decidedly rough from a long drive up from Washington DC, the hostess sat us at a lovely table and soon were we're sipping wine and relishing the best escargot I have had including my travels in Europe. My 16 yo daughter, for whom the trip was a college tour started with the cheese plate and discovered she had never known what great cheese tasted like before. My 18 y o son had the outstanding seafood poutine and my poached salmon with hollandaise was prepared perfectly. My daughters scallops meirneire were delectable, and the charming owner stopped by not just to inquire if everything was to our liking, but to charmingly confess that while the salmon was from Quebec the scallops were from Massachusetts. We finished with a traditional pouding of white cake with maple syrup and ice cream that was perfection. The only thing better than the meal was the wonderful warm welcoming service. After driving many hundreds of miles, we were utterly restored and had a lovely stroll until 1 AM around old Montreal thanks to this wonderful restaurant. Je t'adore Montreal. Merci beaucoups Chez Delmo.
