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.

This was a very disappointing experience. We decided on this place because of the high review but it didn't not live up to expectation. The server took forever to take our order & barely checked on us. When we asked for service, she seemed annoyed. When the food came, everything was mediocre at best. The restaurant itself was very nice.

One of my favorite places is Montreal. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The late evening live jazz is making the evening unforgettable. The only downside is the waiting time to be sitted, but once in, it is well worth it.

Went around 8 PM on a Sunday & were pleasantly surprised by the short wait; it seems like the service is quite efficient. Ordered a small pitcher of lychee sangria that was quite delicious & fresh, albeit quite sweet. We weren't too hungry, so we only shared a charcuterie pizza. There was A LOT of meat on it. While tasty, it quickly became too salty. We mainly came for the live jazz band, which did not disappoint. They played many recognizable songs. Ultimately, we did slightly wish we went somewhere else for our last night in Montreal as it was obviously a tourist spot. That being said, the terrace atmosphere was beautiful & the live jazz was top-notch, making the visit worth it.
