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.

Tjr aimé la cour intérieure avec les fleurs. Ce jour même un live band Menu variés, prix assez bons pour le vieux port. Nourriture arrivée très rapidement avec une présentation un peu sub par, mais c'était bon. Le service était bon, mais un peu précipité. Pourtant il n'y avait pas de file d'attente & plusieurs tables étaient vides. Overall très recommandable 4.2

I would suggest trying to get a seat in the back garden area of the restaurant, really great (even when raining it's cleverly covered).

One of the many restaurants overlooking Jaques Cartier Square directly in Montreal's Old Port. But with that comes the touristy rip off (overpriced food of ordinary quality & relatively small portions). Our shrimp Pizza had just a few shrimps. The beetroot salad we ordered was tiny. Service was OK nothing special.
