Jardin Nelson is one of those places that makes a visit to Old Montréal feel special. The garden courtyard is beautiful, with flowers, greenery, & a really charming atmosphere. The live music added so much to the experience & made the evening feel relaxed & memorable.
The food was very good, with plenty of choices on the menu, & the service was friendly & attentive. I especially enjoyed being able to sit back, enjoy the music, have a drink, & take in the atmosphere around us.
The location right on Place Jacques-Cartier is perfect for people-watching & enjoying the energy of Old Montréal. It's definitely more than just a restaurant; the atmosphere & live music are a big part of the experience. A great place to visit when exploring Montréal.

What a nostalgic treat this was! Having visited 22years ago I couldn't wait to get back & it did not disappoint. Our server Francois was absolutely delightful, nothing was too much trouble, very attentive & even remembered the name of the singer who was there when I last visited! We sat in the courtyard at the back (a must!!) with live jazz music. The atmosphere was wonderful, food delicious, service top tier. Would highly recommend

Food was good, but definitely lacking with seasoning. Service was pretty slow, however, the atmosphere was worth the wait & the staff were really top notch.

Repas très ordinaire sans goût. J'ai pris un poke au Saumon, le saumon goutait rien du tout, il y avait une sauce qui ne fittait vraiment pas dans le plat & ce n'était pas du riz à sushi. Alcool decevant aussi. Ambiance & serveurs très bien, mais les repas ne valent pas le prix. Long temps d'attente avant d'avoir une table, mais service très rapide une fois assis.

Have visited twice & consistently loved the live jazz, warm service, & beautiful ambiance.

Our first meal was excellent: shrimp & seafood tostada, duck confit with summer salad, & duck shepherd's pie - all memorable. On our second visit, the poke salmon, salmon tartare, & its accompanying salad were standouts. The pizza Américaine, however, was forgettable - clearly not the place for pizza but I had a craving.

Drinks were great (the maple latte especially), but I do want to flag one issue: charging **$6 for a can of Coke Zero** is unreasonable & excessive. It's the only part of the experience that left a negative impression, especially since we only discovered the price on the bill. At that price, a fountain soda with refills would make more sense, but even then $6 is egregious for a mere can of soda! I'd strongly encourage reconsidering the pricing - $3 or $4 would be fair & still make you lots of money.

Otherwise, Jardin Nelson remains a lovely spot we enjoy & recommend.
