Depuis plus de 30 ans, Le Jardin Nelson est l'endroit à ne pas manquer lors d'un passage dans le Vieux-Montréal. Ce restaurant a été nommé ainsi en l'honneur du Dr Wolfred Nelson, patriote de la rébellion de 1837, et neuvième maire de Montréal. L'immense terrasse extérieure pouvant accueillir jusqu'à 500 personnes se situe en plein cœur d'une vaste cour de style jardin méditerranéen. La multitude de fleurs et d'arbustes florissants, méticuleusement entretenus, ajoute une touche de vivacité et de dynamisme à l'endroit.
Jardin Nelson est salué pour son cadre magique dans le vieux Montréal, avec une cour intérieure verdoyante, du live jazz et une terrasse extérieure accueillante qui reste agréable grâce aux chauffages, créant une ambiance détendue et romantique; les critiques soulignent l'ambiance et les performances musicales comme le point fort, tandis que la nourriture reçoit des avis mitigés, avec beaucoup de plats décrits comme délicieux et bien présentés, mais certains retours évoquent une qualité et une valeur variables et un service parfois lent en période d'afflux; Dans l'ensemble, la combinaison d'ambiance, de musique et d'équipe serviable en fait un endroit mémorable que les visiteurs ont souvent envie de revisiter.
Jardin Nelson is an absolute gem, especially if you're a jazz lover! The atmosphere is unbeatable, with live jazz performances that truly set the mood for a memorable evening. The courtyard is beautifully designed, creating a warm & inviting ambiance that's perfect for relaxing with friends or a date. The food is just as fantastic as the music. I highly recommend the *pudding chômeur* - it's hands down one of the best I've had, rich & comforting. Pairing that dessert with the live jazz made for an unforgettable experience. Whether you're there for the music, the food, or both, Jardin Nelson delivers on all fronts. Can't wait to go back! They do look in a hurry to have you order.. But it was lovely!!
Très bel endroit, personnel aux petits soins des clients (service au top), vaste choix à la carte, excellente nourriture, ambiance jazz & jardin parfaite. A ne pas manquer !
Disappointing, expected much better. Server fell far below even average. It felt like we were imposing upon her. Didn't care for that. The chowder was quite good & very tasty. We ordered what she called an American ice tea but it really tasted like a sweet & sour mixer - unlike any ice tea we've ever encountered. The Jazz band was good, but the service was very poor.
Great terrace nice atmosphere with live jazz music, & the service is excellent. The food is decent-calamari & bruschetta are delicious, but the poke could use some improvement. Still, it's a recommended spot, especially when the weather is nice!
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!!!
A must place to dine in the old port of Montreal. Great vibe with the jazz band, amazing food & service...highly recommend & I will definitely be back again.
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.
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.
Très bonne table dans un quartier certes touristique mais dont le rapport qualité/prix est tout à fait correct pour Montréal ( & le quartier). Nous en avons eu pour 263 cad à 4 en se faisant plaisir (43€/pers). Service nickel, merci Dany ! La qualité est au RDV. Nous avons passé une bonne soirée. Les 4 étoiles pour l'ambiance tiennent au fait que ns étions collés au jazz band, ce qui nous obligeait à parler fort. Mais la musique est très agréable. Attn ! Pas de réservation possible & fermeture à 22h. Nous y étions à 18h30 & c'était quasi complet un mercredi soir.
Jardin Nelson in Montreal is an absolute gem! I had the canard du confit crêpe, & it was simply divine. The duck was tender & flavorful, perfectly complemented by the delicate & crispy crêpe. The dish was beautifully balanced, with the rich duck filling blending harmoniously with the other ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience-sitting in the charming garden courtyard with live jazz music in the background made for a memorable meal. The service was friendly & attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. If you're in Montreal & looking for a unique & delicious meal in a beautiful setting, Jardin Nelson is a must-visit. I highly recommend it!
The place is super nice with live jazz music. Also the servers were very nice. However the food was really not good. I had the avocado toast which was soggy & unseasoned. The poke bowl was not sushi rice nor was it seasoned & barely any sauce. The pizza was doughy & just not that good. So as a place to have a few drinks fantastic, food not so much
Great place in Old Montreal. The food was excellent & the drinks were perfect! Especially on a warm summer evening. The lemonade really hit the spot! The crepes were delicious, in particular the smoked meat crepe. Combining two of my favourite Montreal foods in one! The restaurant's decor & ambiance is something special. You can either sit out on the front patio, or in the back in the outdoor garden. Both great, this time we sat in the garden. It's so nice, there are tables on different levels, there are huge umbrellas & awnings to cover from the sun, & there is amazing live jazz music. It was such a nice place to spend the evening. Service was very good too. Our server, Alexandre, was awesome! Looking forward to our next visit there!
