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.

Notre restaurant favori dans le Vieux-Montréal. La plus belle terrasse avec orchestre, même en pleine semaine, le midi. Le bonheur assuré. Une expérience à vivre à Montréal. Le service est toujours convivial & professionnel. Nous avons mangé le poke bol thon & la salade homard, c'était délicieux.

Jardin Nelson mesmerized us! It's definitely a memorable, out-of-the-ordinary place. The space is beautiful & unique: there is no traditional roof, so you can see the sky while sitting inside under elegant coverings & greenery. It creates a very special atmosphere.
There is live music & it is absolutely beautiful. Combined with the many flowers & plants everywhere, the whole place feels vibrant & magical.
The food is exquisite, beautifully presented & delicious. The service was excellent.
It was a delightful experience for our family. A place we will definitely remember!

Magnifique endroit rempli de végétation & où parfois des musiciens & une chanteuse offre un spectacle dont nous pouvons profiter en prenant un verre ou un repas.

This is the only place that I have given it 5-star during my stay in whole Canada. I felt like that I have sat in a bistro in Rome or Florence when I was eating there.
Eventhough it is so busy, always packed, the waiters r so professional,kind & polite. Also the food was perfect, full of inspiration. Who ever is a chef of thid gem, is a real chef.

Such a dreamy outdoor setting for lunch with friends in the old port. A courtyard with birds flying around & so many flowers, & not to forget live music (& some heaters!). This was October 18th just before the seasonal closure. Food was delicious. Till next year we shall meet again!

Food was all with fresh ingredients & good cooking. Very relaxed in a warm summer evening to enjoy the food & drinks. Busy place but worth a wait for a table. Servers were very attentive the best they could. Recommend!
