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 went for the first time to Jardin Nelson for lunch & it was truly charming. I enjoyed literally everything, it's a true gem.

I am a regular here. However, tonight was my worst experience yet & I am not sure I'll be coming back anytime soon. My crepe order was completely botched with multiple ingredients missing & my specific request for removing the olives was not complied with at all. The salad I ordered also didn't taste fresh & overall, I was left with a completely unsatisfactory experience & a fear of eating out ever again due to the fact that I have a severe eating disorder & this meal was beyond disappointing for someone who is ultra restrictive & selective with her food intake. Eating in general, but particularly at restaurants is very challenging for me & this meal was beyond sub par & traumatizing for me.

This place used to have a charm. Now?
+60 for a horrendous frozen burger & yesterday's salad. This should be illegal. The Sangria ($48) was just ok.

I loved the Nelson crepe (make, cheddar, bacon, baked apples) work maple syrup & the pouding chomeur was authentic, one of the best ones I've ever had. I also enjoyed the live jazz experience in the courtyard. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Old Montreal.

Great experience as always, on a busy Friday evening. Arrived around 5:30PM top ensure a table was available, & four of us were seated within a few minutes.

Live jazz music was excellent & not too loud, food was great with steady menu, including many options our group likes, a consistent experience as we visit a few times every summer. There was a significant waiting line as we exited around 7PM, & they don't take reservations, so expect to wait or go early!

Recommended & will return for sure!
