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.

I never wait in line to eat. Ever. Why would I wait to give up my money. Today I had no choice because we were with other people. & am I glad I did.
After 20 minutes we were seated in the middle of this huge, multi-level outdoor restaurant, built in between other buildings. Foliage spills from the roofs. A live jazz band plays. Hundreds of happy hungry people are seated. The servers are busy, but take the time to make you feel welcome. Most of the lunch time prices seem to be below $30. The plates are plentiful & delicious. I could not stop looking around; so much to see & hear. Bathrooms downstairs.
A wonderful experience.

5 out of 5 stars
Jardin Nelson is a hidden gem in the old port. The food is absolutely delicious, & the atmosphere is cozy & inviting. We started our meal with the pizza charcutiere, which was loaded with toppings & had a perfectly crispy crust. For our main course, we had the lobster homade salad & the crepe florentine. The lobster salad was fresh & flavorful, & the crepe florentine was rich & decadent. The band was playing some very nice atmospheric songs, which added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. The service was also excellent, & our server was very attentive & friendly. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Jardin Nelson & would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a cozy & inviting atmosphere.

The restaurant is very nice if you sit in the back. They have live band playing jazz. The crepes are delicious. All meals came out quick but the dessert (pouding chomeur) took forever to come to the table, but it was worth the wait.
