Review Summary

Jardin Nelson is widely celebrated for its enchanting atmosphere, particularly its beautiful, flower-filled courtyard and consistent live jazz performances that create a magical, relaxing experience in Old Montreal. While many guests praise the restaurant as a must-visit destination for its unique setting, exceptional drinks, and attentive service, opinions regarding the food are mixed; some patrons find the dishes delicious and well-presented, while others consider the quality mediocre or overpriced for a tourist-focused venue. Despite varying experiences with wait times and occasionally inconsistent culinary quality, the restaurant remains a popular and memorable spot for those looking to enjoy an alfresco meal accompanied by high-quality entertainment.

Comme pour un pèlerinage, nous retrouvons le chemin de ce très bel endroit de Montréal. Terrasses à l arrière, jardins & végétations fleuries en suspension, cadre original & beau, ambiance jazz y soit par bande son ou par orchestre…. Quant à la carte un très grand choix , de qualité, grande fraîcheur & suivant les saisons . Un moment privilégié à partage

Nous sommes venues dans l'après midi 23 juin 2026 pour prendre un café avec une copine, nous étions servies par une dame avec une chemise rose fuschia qui a été plus qu'agréable avec nous du début à la fin.
De plus nous avons pris des crêpes qui étaient délicieuse !
Merci pour ce service des plus qualitatifs !

One of my favourite spots in town - great vibe, live music, & a lovely garden setting.
The food is always on point: beef tartare, seafood pizza, & tuna bowl are absolute must-tries. So fresh & full of flavour!
Perfect for a relaxing meal with friends. Highly recommend!

I was there on June 18, 2026, our food was excellent, I was not sure about what to order & was guided by the waitress, & my choice was exquisite. The service staff was also great, & even though it was a rainy day we enjoyed the patio, & simple love the decoration. A beautiful place with a great service & lovely music. I would recommend it.

Imagine spending $300 to celebrate someone's upcoming wedding then going to the bathroom to have a male employee follow you into the woman's bathroom & tell you he needs to clean the bathroom. Not waiting outside or anything. Just yelling at you while you're in a stall & holding the bathroom door wide open until you leave. What's even creepier is that he didn't have any cleaning supplies in his hands, on a cart, or outside the bathroom. Terrible service, sub par food, & your staff should be ashamed of themselves for such an uncomfortable & embarrassing experience. Also, stop telling people you don't accept tables of more then 6 if you have a table of 10 right at your front checkin.
