Le Jardin Nelson, housed in an historic building that dates back to 1812 in Montreal's Old Montreal, is known for its large, heated outdoor terrace. Le Jardin Nelson specializes in crepes, pizzas and salads but the crepes are the most popular. Enjoy live classical music during lunch and a jazz singer during the evenings on the terrace.
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.
Excellent food, service, & atmosphere! Would love to come back one day to see the live music. The selection of sangria was delightful & all of the food we chose was perfect & delicious.

Terrasse fleurie avec musiciens. Excellent service. Nous avons tous aimé nos plats. Nous fréquentons ce restaurant depuis des années. La salade de homard de l'été 2024 est incroyable, je vous la recommande!
Great spot with an awesome vibe in the back patio. My pork crepe was awesome. They also had Rabaska cidre which was very refreshing. The cherry on top was the fact that they had live music on a Sunday at 2pm. Truly lovely experience.
Bon établissement pour manger ou boire un verre. La terrasse intérieure est magnifique, accueillant des musiciens de jazz. Les plats sont bons. Le service est impeccable. Nous y avons passé une jolie soirée. Option végétarienne disponible 🌱
Jardin Nelson was absolutely lovely. You walk in, & you see the open-air restaurant tucked away in a nook of Old Port. Live music filled the space, playing The Beatles & other classics, & the service was quick & friendly. I tried their bruschetta, cannelloni, & their pouding chomeur. Each dish was delicious & exceeded my expectations. I'd love to come back & try other dishes. The atmosphere & food are just things worth coming back to.

Je vais au Jardin Nelson quelques fois par année surtout l'été pour la belle terrasse intérieure. La musique d'ambiance avec de bons musiciens jazz & la nourriture est excellente. Mathis, notre serveur, impeccable. Mais quelle déception car les nachos ont changé! Auparavant, c'était une immense assiette avec de bons nachos à plusieurs étages garnis comme de bons nachos, poivrons, olives noires, fromage etc etc, c'était spectaculaire & délicieux. Maintenant, on nous sert des nachos (genre chips pas goûteux, pas salé?) & trois pots pour garnir avec sauce épinards, fromage avec coriandre (plusieurs détestent la coriandre) & autre garniture aux canneberges (la meilleure). J'avais recommandé ce plat aux copines! Ouf! Vraiment décevant! Vivement revenez aux bons vieux nachos comme on en sert partout dans les restos.
La crêpe forestière aux champignons est très bonne ainsi que le Pina Colada. Terrasse agréable & musicien à partir de 18h00. & pour finir un bon service sur une belle terrasse.
Encore fois, très satisfait par ce restaurant! Cette fois nous avions une chanteuse accompagnée de deux musiciens! Très jolie voix! Merci d'avoir contribué à cette ambiance! J'adore!

Our server Kevin made our night. Food is not bad & for a decent price. Ambiance is great. The hostesses were very kind & accommodating for our group of 8. The live jazz music was very nice. Thanks Kevin!
Great restaurant with outdoor seating right in old Montréal. Our server (did not get his name) was awesome, he was attentive & personable. We had a late lunch here & then returned for dinner & the live jazz music. We thought the wait time for a table would be long. There was a line already formed when we got there. However, we waited about 15 minutes. for a table. The atmosphere is upbeat & fun. We had a fantastic time. The food was delicious, drinks were too & reasonably priced.
Such an adorable place! The interior was BEAUTIFUL with live music. Good food. Had the jackfruit pike bowl & loved it. Must see & dine in place. Very unique. Be warned...its a pricey place.
Excellent place, the atmosphere is very cozy, it has live music, jazz, they play & sing very well. The food is pretty good, it doesn't take that long even though the place was full. The environment is partially covered, sunlight enters & it has many plants. We tried salmon lasagna & orange duck crepe. Highly recommended
First of all: Beautiful place! We sat in the garden in front of the stage. The music was beautiful & it harmonized with the place. The server was the so attentive & so helpful. We loved having him! We all had a crepe, seafood crepe, smoked meat crepe & a vegetarian one. ALL were perfect! We had a lovely time & will definitely come back again! 💜
Superbe restaurant avec un menu varié. Ils ont une carte présentant les allergènes qui nous permet de choisir un plat : c'est la première fois que je vois ça dans un restaurant & c'est vraiment une idée rassurante. Voilà un restaurant qui prend les allergies au sérieux ! Il y a une bonne ambiance avec les musiciens. Le service est impeccable, de l'arrivée avec les hôtesses à la fin avec notre serveur. C'était notre troisième visite aujourd'hui & c'était parfait, comme les fois précédentes. La salade de saumon frais est excellente, j'ai adoré mon plat.
Excellente expérience au Jardin Nelson. Le restaurant se trouve dans une cours intérieur charmante (& chauffée!). Il y a des musiciens qui jouent du jazz tous les jours de la semaine, pour accompagner votre repas. C'était vraiment agréable. Les portions sont généreuses & le service est super ! J'y retournerais sans aucune hésitation.
