Extremely bad food. I'd love to see the chef try the so-called Caesar salad that has nothing to do with an actual Caesar, or the overcooked meat-stuffed crepes that are as dry as ash. This restaurant is clearly aimed at tourists & designed for one-time visits, with unjustifiably high prices.View more

Déception au Jardin Nelson. L'ambiance est magique & le service chaleureux, mais la qualité de la nourriture & des boissons est franchement médiocre. Mon omble chevalier avec gratin dauphinois était fade & la crêpe de canard confit de mon mari goûtait un sirop d'orange chimique, presque écoeurant. Les cocktails ne valent pas non plus le détour. Pour le prix, l'attente interminable & le stationnement payant, on s'attendait à une cuisine avec un minimum de saveur. Passez pour l'ambiance, mais ne vous attendez pas à une bonne expérience culinaire.View more

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.View more

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!View more

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!View more

This was one of our favorite restaurant choices during our visit to Montreal. Good gluten-free options, gorgeous patio & vibe, great service. They're known for their crepes & offer a gluten-free batter. They also have a gluten-free menu to clearly show options, & our waiter was very knowledgeable & helpful about dietary restrictions. Most of the sauces are not gluten free but I enjoyed the main course crepe I chose without a sauce. Though the cheesecake dessert crepe we shared wasn't nearly as good. They don't take reservations & get very busy, so be prepared to arrive early or to wait for a table. We arrived 20 minutes before the restaurant opened & stood in the line that was already forming. We didn't know about the back patio beforehand but followed the crowd in front of us in choosing a table on the back patio, & it was by far the best seating. It's a*really* beautiful space & there was live music during our lunch. As we left about 12:30 pm, every table in the restaurant was full & there was a very long line of people waiting to be seated.View more

Met family there as it was recommended by them for lunch. Felt like a taste of Paris (yes, I've been there) in a French city. Salmon Poke was fresh & flavourful. Two of us had the Crepes Nelson & lastly the pepperoni pizza. All deliciousView more

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.View more

Great spot with an awesome vibe in the back patio. My pork crepe was awesome. They also had Rabaska cidre which was very refreshing. The cherry on top was the fact that they had live music on a Sunday at 2pm. Truly lovely experience.View more

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!View more

Superbe expérience! Restaurant plutôt atypique avec une partie classique à l'intérieure & le patio (gigantesque en passant !) avec ces murs périphériques conservés, vous êtes dedans / dehors, il y a différents niveaux de terrasses & l'endroit est sublime & original. Bon accueil, préférez réserver si vous venez en période de vacances, ça vous évitera de faire 2 heures de queue !! Serveuses & serveurs efficaces & gentils, carte variée, excellente cuisine, qualité, quantité, top ! Les desserts sont énormes, j'ai pris une crêpe au chocolat & glace vanille, je pense qu'il y avait au moins 4 boules de glace, un régal Excellente adresse dans un cadre atypique & accueillant.View more

Excellent place, the atmosphere is very cozy, it has live music, jazz, they play & sing very well. The food is pretty good, it doesn't take that long even though the place was full. The environment is partially covered, sunlight enters & it has many plants. We tried salmon lasagna & orange duck crepe. Highly recommendedView more

We were thrilled to discover this incredible restaurant as a family of five in a recent trip to Montreal. The extensive menu offered something for everyone, making it difficult to choose! I enjoyed the delicious chard, my husband chose the pork crepe, & we shared a delightful pitcher of sangria. Our kids loved the ribs, pizza, & pasta. The staff was both kind & professional, & the ambiance was charming, set amidst picturesque buildings. With outdoor seating made cozy by heaters, our experience was very comfortable. We're very much looking forward to returning in the summer when the flowers are in full bloom!!View more
