Review Summary

Jardin Nelson is praised for a magical courtyard setting in Old Montreal, with lush greenery, live jazz, and a welcoming outdoor terrace that stays comfortable with heaters, creating a relaxed and romantic atmosphere; the reviews repeatedly highlight the ambiance and musical performances as the highlight, while the food receives mixed mentions, with many dishes described as delicious and well presented, yet some visits noting variability in quality and value and occasional slow service in busy times; overall the combination of atmosphere, music, and attentive staff makes it a memorable spot that visitors often return to.

Que dire de plus? Le Jardin Nelson est un joyau du Vieux-Montréal qui plaira tant aux touristes qu'aux locaux. Venez surtout en été pour profiter de sa magnifique terrasse intérieure en pierres bordée de fleurs & de verdure. On s'y sent bien dans ce décor marriant la nature & l'histoire de la Nouvelle-France, bercé par les airs de jazz provenant des musiciens au fond. Le personnel est très chaleureux & souriant & la nourriture qui s'y sert est délicieuse! Un des meilleurs restaurants que j'ai jamais goûté à Montréal. Essayez leurs crêpes & leur paté chinois au canard, vous n'allez jamais oublier. :)

La nourriture est correcte & le service, un peu long, est assuré par un personnel attentionné. Par contre, un petit hic qui jure dans ce magnifique endroit : tasses sales, tachées de rouge à lèvres & autres taches de café antérieures, même après remplacement...Dommage!

Ambiance magnifique jazzy & plats préparés avec finesse. Ça vaut le détour au vieux Montréal.

Bonne nourriture quand même un peu cher peu-être pour la qualité, choix idéal pour un souper romantique car le Jardin est très original & c'est magnifique.
