That place is a unique experience. It feels like Babylon with all the plants everywhere. That was just amazing & the jazz scene was just perfect. As we speak, the jazz will play until 3 pm, & come back at 6 pm until late night. I took the vegan jackfruit, which was very tasty.View more

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..View more

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 lolView more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View 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

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

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.View more

Je vais au Jardin Nelson quelques fois par année surtout l'été pour la belle terrasse intérieure. La musique d'ambiance avec de bons musiciens jazz & la nourriture est excellente. Mathis, notre serveur, impeccable. Mais quelle déception car les nachos ont changé! Auparavant, c'était une immense assiette avec de bons nachos à plusieurs étages garnis comme de bons nachos, poivrons, olives noires, fromage etc etc, c'était spectaculaire & délicieux. Maintenant, on nous sert des nachos (genre chips pas goûteux, pas salé?) & trois pots pour garnir avec sauce épinards, fromage avec coriandre (plusieurs détestent la coriandre) & autre garniture aux canneberges (la meilleure). J'avais recommandé ce plat aux copines! Ouf! Vraiment décevant! Vivement revenez aux bons vieux nachos comme on en sert partout dans les restos.View more

A magical evening in Old Montreal at Jardin Nelson. The outdoor garden in absolutely stunning with so many beautiful flowers & plants. The jazz performed while dining was so enjoyable. The food was amazing ... terrific presentation & sublime flavour. &, the menu options are plentiful. The service is extraordinary ... it is obvious that the team is well trained & very efficient. A special thanks to our server, Milan - her welcoming smile & cheerful attitude made our experience at Jardin Nelson memorable.View more

Eneida
Great restaurant with outdoor seating right in old Montréal. Our server (did not get his name) was awesome, he was attentive & personable. We had a late lunch here & then returned for dinner & the live jazz music. We thought the wait time for a table would be long. There was a line already formed when we got there. However, we waited about 15 minutes. for a table. The atmosphere is upbeat & fun. We had a fantastic time. The food was delicious, drinks were too & reasonably priced.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
