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.

We were there in June. Nice dining atmosphere with a live jazz band entertainment. Felt like we were in France dining alfresco. Food was good but rather pricey.

Un dejeuner en terrasse au soleil !

L'accueil est très professionnel, de même que le service & la qualité des repas proposés.
Nous nous sommes régalés (poke saumon & thon) avec une petite entrée à partager !

Un petit coin de paradis dans le vieux-montreal !

Excellent atmosphere!
The live music is always lovely.
The staff might not be as *fast* as imagined because of high patron occupancy. The service is still good, though.
Food is delicious, some dishes are surprisingly large.

Looks Great, Service is really good, food is awful. Typical tourist trap. First day here so I cannot tell you where to go, but I feel confident telling you not to come here.

I ordered salmon poke & was not good at all. I couldn't even finish it. For this price I was expecting it to be better than what I get from super market but actually was so bad that I was surprised. It was full of rice & just a bit of veggies. Also the heating was facing my head & it was not really pleasant. I prefer this place only in summer days.
