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.
We were travelling here from Vancouver & we have to say that this was our favorite restaurant of our entire vacation. The food was amazing, the ambiance was fantastic & we had the lemon ice cream dessert that was definitely one of the best desserts we've had. We highly recommend Jardin Nelson!

I love dining in this historical place. It feels like being indoors & outdoors at the same time with a large tree in the midst of the dining space, flowers hanging from the stone walls, & a jazz duo playing softly the background. The service is friendly & prompt & the menu offers a delicious variety of items from appetiizers to pizzas to their famous crepes.
Exceptionnel comme choix de boissons ou nourriture, jazz avec musiciens en personne dès le matin. Service cordial & efficace. J'y reviens avec plaisir depuis plusieurs années. Andrée
