L'ambiance, l'experience, l'architecture vraiment beau 🤩!
La nourriture bien, pas déçu 😍
Cependant le temps d'attente pour un groupe de 6 à été de 1h30-2h, il passait des tables de 2-3-4-5 avant nous malgré que nous sommes arrivés avant eux. Déçu pour cela.View more

La serveuse Jess & l'hôtesse avec le tooth gem (j'ai pas demandé son nom oups) étaient des perles! Excellent service, excellente bouffe malgré l'achalandage. Merci!!View more

JN is one of those rare gems in Montreal where the ambience completely steals the show. Whether it's during the day or evening, the relaxed atmosphere, live jazz, & beautiful greenery-enhanced by a whimsical rainwater system trickling through umbrella canopies-create a truly unique experience. Unfortunately, the food doesn't match the setting; the pizza is disappointing, the chicken burger is just okay, & the cocktails are decent at best. Its kids friendly & they provide coloring set to kids, but make sure your kids enjoy the live music & not ruin the experience;-)! Still, despite the mediocre food, I find myself going back again & again for the charm & vibe alone.View more

We had an amazing experience at Jardin Nelson! The service was warm, attentive, & efficient from start to finish. We ordered the chicken burger, crepes, & the chicken poke bowl, & every dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh & well-balanced, & the presentation was great. The atmosphere was also lovely, making it the perfect spot to relax & enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food & top-notch service in a beautiful setting!View more

My partner & I came on Sunday evening before a show, our waiter took our order & after an hour & 3 minutes we didn't receive anything-not even a water refill. At first we understood that it was busy but even people who were seated after us were receiving their food. Due to us being on a time limit due to our show we asked for the check so we can leave, the waiter brought the check & said he would bring the food in a take out, we then waited an additional 15 minutes & ultimately left. Bad service - everyone in our section didn't even receive a water refill.pView more

The Jardin is a very nice place & I'll admit that the atmosphere & the vibes of this place is top notch. It's a lovely place to get into if you can, though it is often extremely busy. Personally, if you're in the area & there isn't a line, it's a great place to drop in & enjoy. Gotta shout out the jazz band too. I just don't think that it's worth the long wait most people need to go through to get into it.View more

Live music, outdoor seating, lychee sangria was insane. Can't go wrong. Didn't have food but it looked good when others were eating around us!View more

Nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes & nos attentes étaient élevées. Endroit vraiment magnifique avec un excellent service (merci Eric!). Plats servis étaient délicieux & bien présentés. La proprio (sympathique)est même venue nous saluer. Je recommande vivement!View more

This is a must try restaurant in Montreal. The vibes & atmosphere are next level. Ask to sit in the back courtyard if available, it's 100% worth it! The decor, the music (live jazz) really bring the restaurant to life. The food is decent, we had the tostadas as starters & pancakes as main. Pretty good but nothing amazing. But the environment really makes the restaurant unique! Great drink selection, perfect outdoor brunch spot on a nice summer day!View more

Food is mediocre at best…. The back garden is nice & the live music makes it a little more vibey…View more

We had a really lovely dinner at Jardin Nelson in Montreal. The atmosphere was warm & full of life - especially because of the live music. There were several musicians performing while we dined, & it added something really special to the experience. During jazz festival season, it's even more vibrant, with music floating through the air & talented artists keeping everyone entertained. It feels like one of those classic Montreal spots where you just want to linger.
The food was absolutely delicious. The chef did an excellent job - everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, & beautifully presented. The menu is rich & diverse, so everyone in our group found something they really enjoyed, whether it was seafood, vegetarian dishes, or something light & refreshing.
Our waitress, Melina, was amazing - friendly, attentive, & genuinely warm. She made us feel welcome & taken care of throughout the whole meal.
The desserts were also fantastic - a perfect way to end the evening. Overall, the service, the food, & the live music created a memorable night. If you're visiting Montreal, Jardin Nelson is definitely worth a stop.View more

I stumbled across this beautiful restaurant while exploring Old Montreal & boy am I glad I did. The vibe of the patio was so warm & welcoming, the roast pork sandwich on rosemary focaccia bread was delicious, & fries were perfect. I also enjoyed the white wine sangria & would absolutely order all of this again. Our server was kind & prompt, & the jazz in the background was really enjoyable. If I'm back in Montreal again soon, I will definitely come back.View more

When we arrived, the hostess outside asked how many people were in our party & told us to head inside. Once inside, there was no hostess at the podium & no one in line, so we assumed we could seat ourselves, especially since the restaurant was only half full. We chose a table & sat down, but shortly after, a waiter approached us &, rather rudely, said,'You have to wait for the hostess to seat you. You can't just sit down,' before walking off to go get the hostess. We then got up & walked back over to the hostess, & when we asked if we could sit at the same table we had already chosen, she said there was no issue at all & brought us right back to it. It felt unnecessary & a bit awkward, especially since there were so many empty tables & no clear direction at the entrance. Thankfully, our waitress was incredibly kind & the service from her was excellent. It's just unfortunate that the initial interaction with the waiter made the start of our experience feel unwelcoming.View more
