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

This is such a lovely restaurant with live music in the old port. It is always very busy, so I would recommend planning your time accordingly if you have plans afterwards. I chose the beef tartare & my friend chose the ribs which was quite flavorful. We also had the litchi sangria which was very refreshing!View more

Très belle expérience pour notre 1er jour à Montréal ! La terrasse est bien agréable, les musiciens en live aussi, les plats sont copieux & bien cuisinés. La service est très professionnel : nous tenons d'ailleurs à présenter toutes nos excuses à Jennifer notre serveuse qui a été très gentille & bienveillante avec nous mais nous n'avions pas connaissance de la règle canadienne pour les pourboires : vraiment désolés ! Nous recommandons !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

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

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

Wasn't impressed with band. Get a traditional trio with upright bassist & drummer. Sounded too stiff. No soul .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
