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 offre une ambiance chaleureuse et bucolique au coeur du Vieux Montréal, avec une cour intérieure verdoyante, une terrasse ensoleillée et des musiciens qui créent une atmosphere conviviale autour de repas ou de verre. Le cadre et la musique live donnent souvent le sentiment d une escapade française, particulièrement en soirée lorsque les lumières et le climat restent agréables. Les plats séduisent par leur fraîcheur et leur carte variée, allant de fruits de mer et plats raffinés à des recettes locales et des desserts généreux, et les portions peuvent être généreuses. Le service est généralement apprécié pour son efficacité et sa gentillesse, mais l affluence peut parfois rallonger l attente et certaines expériences mentionnent une lenteur ponctuelle ou un service moins fluide. Le rapport qualité-prix varie selon les plats et les jours; certains repas sont jugés excellents et d autres critiques portent sur des plats perçus comme trop chers ou mal executes, comme certains poke ou sandwichs. L endroit est prisé, la terrasse et le cadre étant souvent cités comme attractions majeures qui valent le déplacement, notamment pour l ambiance jazz et les options de restauration en plein air. Quelques avis soulignent que le site peut être très fréquenté et que des choix plus simples, comme les crepes ou les tapas, restent des valeurs sûres; d autres recommandent de revenir pour goûter d autres spécialités et profiter des concerts. En résumé, Jardin Nelson est perçu comme un lieu emblématique et vivant, dans une esthétique superbe et une expérience globale positive malgré quelques deceptions ponctuelles sur la nourriture ou le service lors des périodes d affluence.
Had an amazing experience eating here. Had my first poutine, paired with their specialty liqueur coffee & they were delicious. Ambience was great. Good interior & accompanying jazz music made it better. The service is a bit slow but it's because of their humongous popularity. This is the case of suffering from success I guess..
Amazing atmosphere! Live jazz music by really talented gentleman. Service was fast & friendly. Food was delicious too. We got appetizers for the most part & we loved them. We got the tostada de mariscos, the shrimp on the appetizers menu (don't remember the name but they were a favorite) & the cartier salad. All 3 were to die for. Food was so good I didn't take a picture lol

Everything was amazing, the meals, drinks & the service !!! Food took some time to arrive but totally worth it!!! I do really recommend this place, compared with others around this is the best I've tried. Live jazz music it's awesome.. it makes the atmosphere feel so good & chill
One of my favorite places is Montreal. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The late evening live jazz is making the evening unforgettable. The only downside is the waiting time to be sitted, but once in, it is well worth it.
Went around 8 PM on a Sunday & were pleasantly surprised by the short wait; it seems like the service is quite efficient. Ordered a small pitcher of lychee sangria that was quite delicious & fresh, albeit quite sweet. We weren't too hungry, so we only shared a charcuterie pizza. There was A LOT of meat on it. While tasty, it quickly became too salty. We mainly came for the live jazz band, which did not disappoint. They played many recognizable songs. Ultimately, we did slightly wish we went somewhere else for our last night in Montreal as it was obviously a tourist spot. That being said, the terrace atmosphere was beautiful & the live jazz was top-notch, making the visit worth it.
Woww superbe endroit sur la terrasse arrière remplie de fleurs avec ambiance de duo jazz. En visite nos amis nous on fait découvrir ce beau jardin menue varié & goûteux assiettes bien garnis. Merci a notre serveur dévoué & serviable François, Garde ton beau sourire il te va si bien Une belle découverte Au plaisi
Gotta go here for a nice boozy brunch! There is always fun jazzy music playing & the Sangria is incredible (recommend both the watermelon & the lychee)
We went in as a group of 5ppl. We were 5 ladies. We knew that we would have to wait a while however we waited at least up to an hour or more for our seats. When everyone who was standing in front of us got there seats we still had to wait an extra 30mins until I asked the hostess how much longer we were going to have to wait. After 2min another hostess said she found a table for us on the terrace & that she was going to prepare the table for us . As she left the hostess that I was talking to seated us in the worst seating & placed the group behind us on the terrasse. Pretty unreasonable as we waited much longer than all the ppl ahead of us. Mind you we saw multiple groups of 5 leaving & also going in ahead of us. Our waitress was great. I had the American Pizza & it was delicious with the special sangria which was a delight. The Jazz music was certainly the right touch for the atmosphere. I would recommend anyone go there, I understand the popularity of this restaurant & the wait time but I don't think the hostesses treated us reasonably this time.
Nous avons passé un agréable moment au Jardin Nelson. Petit concert de jazz. Serveuse très agréable. Prix assez excessifs sur la nourriture mais je dois reconnaître que nos plats étaient bons : lasagnes saumon, tartare de boeuf.

Arrived around 5 on a weeknight & were seated in the garden with no wait. Food was solid. Crepes were heartier than what you might find in a traditional crepe joint. We were satisfied with our choices of smoked meat & seafood crepes. Our server's shift ended in the middle of the meal, so we were there a little longer than expected. Bonus--the delay extended our stay into the live jazz! So we ordered the maple creme brulee & some dessert coffee.
Siobhan made the experience exceptional. The crepes made me wish I had a second stomach. I had the Nelson. My wife had a crepe with mushrooms & Brie. dessert was equally as amazing. The atmosphere & the live jazz band made it so I did not want to leave. Don't overlook this place when you visit!
We had a great time here. Very busy place with tables everywhere & jazz playing.We came on a Tuesday afternoon & the place was packed. My wife had a crepe & I had a chicken ceasa
Petit souper après Keops très agréable. Magnifique terrasse intérieure. Trio Jazz pour agrémenter l'atmosphère. Prix raisonnable pour le Vieux Montréal.
Bon établissement pour manger ou boire un verre. La terrasse intérieure est magnifique, accueillant des musiciens de jazz. Les plats sont bons. Le service est impeccable. Nous y avons passé une jolie soirée. Option végétarienne disponible 🌱
Absolutely visit Jardin Nelson for their beautiful garden & nightly jazz! We stopped by on our first night in Montreal & the atmosphere made a lovely first impression. However, the food is sub-par & overpriced & the seating is not the comfiest. But despite that I still recommend checking it out for the vibes.
