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.

Restaurant avec une cour intérieure très agréable ! La carte propose beaucoup de choix variés ! Tout donne envie, c'est dur de choisir ! Groupe de jazz qui accompagne le repas. Les cocktails étaient originaux & bien exécutés. & les plats également. Nous nous sommes régalés !

We went in the back, they have a beautiful terrace with live music. It's not loud, just perfect to be able to have a conversation & hear the music in the background.
We had : brie, calamari, pizza & salmon lasagna.
They food was delicious & the portions a very decent size. I took an appetizer & I couldn't finish my main course.
Our waiter was so nice & caring.

Had a great time at Jardin Nelson in Old Montreal! The food & drinks were good overall. The pizza wasn't the best I've had, but still worth trying. The crêpe, on the other hand, was absolutely awesome. The atmosphere really makes this place special, beautiful setting with live music that adds so much to the experience. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're in the area!

I was there a few days ago. I should start by saying that the restaurant is pet-friendly, which is always a good thing for us, since we have a very quiet dog. The food was delicious, but the service wasn't so great. The waitress was super nice, but I think someone forgot our appetizer, & it was served just as we were almost finished. But it's a nice place & worth a visit.

What a wonderful place!
It was pouring outside, so it was wonderful to eat in a garden.
