Le Jardin Nelson, housed in an historic building that dates back to 1812 in Montreal's Old Montreal, is known for its large, heated outdoor terrace. Le Jardin Nelson specializes in crepes, pizzas and salads but the crepes are the most popular. Enjoy live classical music during lunch and a jazz singer during the evenings on the terrace.
Reviews describe Jardin Nelson as a picturesque Old Montreal spot with a lush courtyard and a lively terrace, where live jazz and a warm, relaxed vibe elevate meals. The setting is repeatedly praised for its greenery and ambience, with heaters making outdoor dining comfortable even as crowds gather. Service is typically described as attentive and friendly, though some guests note slower pacing during busy times and occasional inconsistencies. Dishes receive mixed verdicts, with many praising seafood, duck, crepes, and cocktails, while a few meals feel overpriced or underwhelming. Overall the standout draw is the ambiance and musical atmosphere, with many recommending a visit to enjoy the vibe and come back to explore more of the menu.
Great food, great service & great atmosphere!!! Our waiter was super friendly, crepes & coffee were very good, live jazz music was great too. & restaurant looks so awesome inside with open roof. We had amazing time, thank you!!!
Really sweet place & Michele was awesome. I enjoyed the clam chowder & beet salad. My husband had the seafood crêpe & he said it was OK. He said he's done with crêpes.

A really lovely restaurant with great atmosphere & service. Our only reason for not giving 5 stars would be that I didn't enjoy my main course. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his though & it wouldn't discourage us from returning again as there was many other items on the menu I'm sure I would enjoy.
Un excellent service, un environnement & une décoration Bucolique est en phase avec l'humeur du serveur, le petit plus la musique & la bienveillance de François. I grand merci à François d'avoir été notre hôte durant ce repas.

Chaque fois que je vais à Montréal (& ça m'arrive souvent) je vais au moins une fois au jardin Nelson. Tout est bien. L'ambiance, le cadre, le service & la cuisine. Merci pour ces moments bien agréables
The experience was truly exceptional, with every aspect surpassing expectations. The food was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors. The service was equally remarkable, with attentive & friendly staff ensuring that every need was met promptly & with care. Overall, the combination of exquisite cuisine & outstanding service made for an unforgettable experience.
Our Host Renelle was awesome . She recommended us the best dessert I ever had . The flavors in food were so good & delicious.. I can probably come back to Montreal from US just to eat here..

Amazing experience on all levels every time. We were fortunate to have been served by Milan twice so far; amazing service always with a smile & good recommendations of popular dishes.
This review is honestly quite a bit past our time there but our time there was so memorable. I was just convincing other people, I know, that are currently visiting Montreal how much they have to see this restaurant. We were there in the summer of 2022 & I cannot speak enough about it. Music, food, atmosphere, Service, etc. All so wonderful
