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.
This is a world-class restaurant. I've worked as a server & dined around the world. The service was friendly & excellent, some of the best I've ever had. The ambiance of colorful plants & live music is fantastic. Good food, too! I highly recommend stopping here if you are walking around the Old Town.

The restaurant is surrounded by historical buildings, built in a garden & patio setting. It also has a tiny stage with live jazz performance. It is made for sunny as well as rainy days. It is a perfect place to enjoy the Montreal old port experience. The menu is diverse.

La serveuse très sympa & souriante...🤩 A renouveller ..j ai vraiment apprecié..❤️
I guess my expectations were too high after hearing about it so much. Service was good, very friendly & attentive staff. Nice ambience to enjoy warm summer days with good music. Food was okay. We were lucky to arrive at a time without having to wait in line.

Merci à Morgane d'avoir été incroyable avec nous! Le dernier restaurant entre amies du voyage a été mémorable grâce à son service hors pair! Elle nous a bien conseillé sur les bons plats, a apportez une carte avec les options sans gluten pour mon amie intolérante & a été gentille & présente tout le repas!
Toujours de beaux & bons moments passés entre ses murs centenaires... service impeccable (merci à notre serveuse Pauline, avenante & beau sourire à qui j'ai laissé un ange porte-bonheur!). J'y retournerai c'est certain.
Ein Jazz "Biergarten" mitten im touristischen Zentrum und trotzdem eine absolute Empfehlung. Angemessene Preise. Toller Service, leckeres Essen und ein sehr angenehmes Ambiente. Wir waren sogar zwei Mal da.

Superbe restaurant, accueil chaleureux, plats délicieux & cadre magnifique Petit bémol pour les options végétariennes manquantes (un burger ou une poutine végé manquait à la carte en plus des salades proposées)
Terrific menu with a wide selection of salads, crepes & sandwiches. Extensive alcohol options. Nice outdoor seating area. Given the location in Old Montreal, the prices are a tad high, but well worth it. Food was fresh & beautifully prepared.
Tjr aimé la cour intérieure avec les fleurs. Ce jour même un live band Menu variés, prix assez bons pour le vieux port. Nourriture arrivée très rapidement avec une présentation un peu sub par, mais c'était bon. Le service était bon, mais un peu précipité. Pourtant il n'y avait pas de file d'attente & plusieurs tables étaient vides. Overall très recommandable 4.2
