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.

This review is honestly quite a bit past our time there but our time there was so memorable. I was just convincing other people, I know, that are currently visiting Montreal how much they have to see this restaurant. We were there in the summer of 2022 & I cannot speak enough about it. Music, food, atmosphere, Service, etc. All so wonderful

This is a world-class restaurant. I've worked as a server & dined around the world. The service was friendly & excellent, some of the best I've ever had. The ambiance of colorful plants & live music is fantastic. Good food, too! I highly recommend stopping here if you are walking around the Old Town.

Cool atmosphere with live music. It's a bit crowded however & seating leaves a bit to be desired. Food is decent but not amazing.

Do not get the duck confit crepe - too sweet! Otherwise, lovely atmosphere & terrace right by the Old Port.

The restaurant is surrounded by historical buildings, built in a garden & patio setting. It also has a tiny stage with live jazz performance. It is made for sunny as well as rainy days. It is a perfect place to enjoy the Montreal old port experience. The menu is diverse.
