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.

Très bonne table dans un quartier certes touristique mais dont le rapport qualité/prix est tout à fait correct pour Montréal ( & le quartier). Nous en avons eu pour 263 cad à 4 en se faisant plaisir (43€/pers). Service nickel, merci Dany ! La qualité est au RDV. Nous avons passé une bonne soirée. Les 4 étoiles pour l'ambiance tiennent au fait que ns étions collés au jazz band, ce qui nous obligeait à parler fort. Mais la musique est très agréable. Attn ! Pas de réservation possible & fermeture à 22h. Nous y étions à 18h30 & c'était quasi complet un mercredi soir.

Jardin Nelson in Montreal is an absolute gem! I had the canard du confit crêpe, & it was simply divine. The duck was tender & flavorful, perfectly complemented by the delicate & crispy crêpe. The dish was beautifully balanced, with the rich duck filling blending harmoniously with the other ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience-sitting in the charming garden courtyard with live jazz music in the background made for a memorable meal. The service was friendly & attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. If you're in Montreal & looking for a unique & delicious meal in a beautiful setting, Jardin Nelson is a must-visit. I highly recommend it!

Excellent service. Food was really good. The chicken liver with onion confit is really, not everyone but really good if you are into it. Any poke bowls are delicious & the portions are big. Poutine with duck confit was good.

The place is super nice with live jazz music. Also the servers were very nice. However the food was really not good. I had the avocado toast which was soggy & unseasoned. The poke bowl was not sushi rice nor was it seasoned & barely any sauce. The pizza was doughy & just not that good. So as a place to have a few drinks fantastic, food not so much
