Review Summary

Jardin Nelson is widely celebrated for its enchanting atmosphere, featuring a beautiful garden courtyard, vibrant greenery, and consistent live jazz performances that create a truly magical dining experience in Old Montreal. While many guests praise the diverse menu and highlight standout dishes like the crepes, ribs, and seafood, others find the food quality inconsistent, sometimes describing it as ordinary or overpriced. Service experiences vary significantly, ranging from highly professional and attentive to occasional delays, yet the restaurant remains a popular destination for its unique, romantic, and lively setting that consistently draws both locals and tourists year after year.

Great location & great service. The outside terrace gets the evening sun......& there are outside heaters too! The food is also good although the menu isn't particularly extensive. Overall a very good experience & would definitely return.

I was kind of hoping for more. I had heard whispers of this place & went in assuming it would be a bit fancy, but it's honestly a bit more laid back then I expected. Lovely outdoor area & live band, but the food was kind of meh & there was a lot more families with young kids than I thought there would be. Not bad but I'd probably opt for the Italian place next door if I had to choose.

Jardin Nelson came highly recommended by multiple people & I can see why! We went on one of the first nights they were open, & while we were freezing it was still one of the best meals we had in Montreal! The proximity to Old Montreal was ideal, the multiple jazz sets were talented & the food!! We had the French onion soup, the Du Jardin crepe, & the Nelson crepe. The French onion soup was divine & then I tasted the crepes! The Nelson crepe will live rent free in my mind for the rest of my life.

My bride & I enjoyed a few starters & drinks here today. The jazz singer/band was amazing as was our server Charlotte!

This is a must see place. Multiple places to dine in, outdoor front patio with lots to see, inside, & in the back patio which is where we were. Really cool vibe.

Cocktails were imaginative & delicious. Don't skip the beet salad!

Un accueil lamentable, personne au desk pas du tout professionnelle, refus de nous assoir pour attendre le reste de notre groupe, mauvaise communication & manque flagrant de professionnalisme, nous étions habitués à un service de meilleure qualité,

Je ne reviendrais plus jamais …
