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.

Petit souper après Keops très agréable. Magnifique terrasse intérieure. Trio Jazz pour agrémenter l'atmosphère. Prix raisonnable pour le Vieux Montréal.

Superbe expérience! Restaurant plutôt atypique avec une partie classique à l'intérieure & le patio (gigantesque en passant !) avec ces murs périphériques conservés, vous êtes dedans / dehors, il y a différents niveaux de terrasses & l'endroit est sublime & original. Bon accueil, préférez réserver si vous venez en période de vacances, ça vous évitera de faire 2 heures de queue !! Serveuses & serveurs efficaces & gentils, carte variée, excellente cuisine, qualité, quantité, top ! Les desserts sont énormes, j'ai pris une crêpe au chocolat & glace vanille, je pense qu'il y avait au moins 4 boules de glace, un régal Excellente adresse dans un cadre atypique & accueillant.

Bon établissement pour manger ou boire un verre. La terrasse intérieure est magnifique, accueillant des musiciens de jazz. Les plats sont bons. Le service est impeccable. Nous y avons passé une jolie soirée. Option végétarienne disponible 🌱

Jardin Nelson was absolutely lovely. You walk in, & you see the open-air restaurant tucked away in a nook of Old Port. Live music filled the space, playing The Beatles & other classics, & the service was quick & friendly. I tried their bruschetta, cannelloni, & their pouding chomeur. Each dish was delicious & exceeded my expectations. I'd love to come back & try other dishes. The atmosphere & food are just things worth coming back to.

Absolutely visit Jardin Nelson for their beautiful garden & nightly jazz! We stopped by on our first night in Montreal & the atmosphere made a lovely first impression. However, the food is sub-par & overpriced & the seating is not the comfiest. But despite that I still recommend checking it out for the vibes.

Je vais au Jardin Nelson quelques fois par année surtout l'été pour la belle terrasse intérieure. La musique d'ambiance avec de bons musiciens jazz & la nourriture est excellente. Mathis, notre serveur, impeccable. Mais quelle déception car les nachos ont changé! Auparavant, c'était une immense assiette avec de bons nachos à plusieurs étages garnis comme de bons nachos, poivrons, olives noires, fromage etc etc, c'était spectaculaire & délicieux. Maintenant, on nous sert des nachos (genre chips pas goûteux, pas salé?) & trois pots pour garnir avec sauce épinards, fromage avec coriandre (plusieurs détestent la coriandre) & autre garniture aux canneberges (la meilleure). J'avais recommandé ce plat aux copines! Ouf! Vraiment décevant! Vivement revenez aux bons vieux nachos comme on en sert partout dans les restos.
