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.
Reviews describe Jardin Nelson as a picturesque Old Montreal spot with a lush courtyard and a lively terrace, where live jazz and a warm, relaxed vibe elevate meals. The setting is repeatedly praised for its greenery and ambience, with heaters making outdoor dining comfortable even as crowds gather. Service is typically described as attentive and friendly, though some guests note slower pacing during busy times and occasional inconsistencies. Dishes receive mixed verdicts, with many praising seafood, duck, crepes, and cocktails, while a few meals feel overpriced or underwhelming. Overall the standout draw is the ambiance and musical atmosphere, with many recommending a visit to enjoy the vibe and come back to explore more of the menu.
Un beau cadre, la nourriture est délicieuse & le service est super. & que dire du groupe de musique qui joue en live pendant que vous vous régalez...tout simplement parfait

Such great place to go with friends & family to dine. Their food & drinks are so delicious & fresh. Loved the service & warm atmosphere. The place is so beautiful from inside.
We initially chose this restaurant for its inviting atmosphere, but unfortunately, we encountered a distressing incident during our visit. Regrettably, the staff accidentally spilled hot water on our two-year-old child, resulting in burns that significantly impacted our vacation experience. Although the manager expressed apologies & sympathy, we were surprised to find that we were still charged for the food that we didn't finish as a result of this accident. We sincerely hope that such incidents do not occur for other guests in the future. It is our recommendation that the staff undergo additional training to ensure the provision of safe & attentive service.

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.
un haut lieu touristique mais tjrs aussi agréable en cuisine & au service. Animation Jazz chantée tous les jours. UN vrai bon moment dans une architecture unique.
C'est super sympa Dominique c'est occupée de nous & trop mignonne Bouteille de vin le chat beauté & une pizz à partager on était déjà arrachés mais un bel endroit super convivial Je recommande

Superbe restaurant. Lieu atypique, reposant, assez classe & à la fois un peu BOBO. Bar /Restaurant tendance. Bravo pour le concept. Chauffage aérien à chaque table, couvert par d'IMMENSES parasol en forme de Cône. Le personnel est hyper agréable & vous donne l'impression d'être un client connu & privilégié. & puis la restauration suit toutes cette ambiance !!!! C'est un lieu à ne pas manquer.
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.
