Review Summary

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. Service experiences vary significantly, ranging from highly professional and attentive to occasional delays, yet the restaurant remains a popular destination for its unique, romantic, and lively setting that consistently draws both locals and tourists year after year.

We were on the hop on hop off bus & had our tour guide Richard, recommend this restaurant. We took the opportunity after a lovely walk & it was mid afternoon. We were given the choice of inside or the patio & chose outside to people watch.

I had the beef tartare & a local beer & my wife had the tuna poke bowl. Both were amazing.
I'd love to go back & do the same or explore the menu.

Première fois pour nous dans ce restaurant, nous avons mangé dans la cour intérieur très charmante avec des musiciens.
La cuisine est très bonne & le service souriant. Restaurant plutôt haut de gamme par rapport au prix.

By far my favourite restaurant in Montreal. The live music was beautiful, the staff are incredibly attentive, & the food is delicious. This is quite possibly the best restaurant I've ever been to.
