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.

The server spilled half of my wife's drink on her. Then charged us full price for the drink.

We initially chose this restaurant for its inviting atmosphere, but unfortunately, we encountered a distressing incident during our visit. Regrettably, the staff accidentally spilled hot water on our two-year-old child, resulting in burns that significantly impacted our vacation experience. Although the manager expressed apologies & sympathy, we were surprised to find that we were still charged for the food that we didn't finish as a result of this accident. We sincerely hope that such incidents do not occur for other guests in the future. It is our recommendation that the staff undergo additional training to ensure the provision of safe & attentive service.

Excellent place, the atmosphere is very cozy, it has live music, jazz, they play & sing very well. The food is pretty good, it doesn't take that long even though the place was full. The environment is partially covered, sunlight enters & it has many plants. We tried salmon lasagna & orange duck crepe. Highly recommended

First of all: Beautiful place! We sat in the garden in front of the stage. The music was beautiful & it harmonized with the place. The server was the so attentive & so helpful. We loved having him! We all had a crepe, seafood crepe, smoked meat crepe & a vegetarian one. ALL were perfect! We had a lovely time & will definitely come back again! 💜

Superbe restaurant avec un menu varié. Ils ont une carte présentant les allergènes qui nous permet de choisir un plat : c'est la première fois que je vois ça dans un restaurant & c'est vraiment une idée rassurante. Voilà un restaurant qui prend les allergies au sérieux ! Il y a une bonne ambiance avec les musiciens. Le service est impeccable, de l'arrivée avec les hôtesses à la fin avec notre serveur. C'était notre troisième visite aujourd'hui & c'était parfait, comme les fois précédentes. La salade de saumon frais est excellente, j'ai adoré mon plat.
