I love this place! The music live is amazing and the sangrias are good. Perfect for a summer day and a must stop if you’re visiting. Just be aware of the waiting line (usually half an hour on weekends). Not worthed if you stay indoors or in the street terrace (prices are a bit high for the portion you eat).
Great ambiance. Friendly wonderful waitstaff. Food is off the chart. Fresh and flavorful. The summer side salad was outstanding. Highly recommend this place. My kids even loved the food. It was the high point of our day trip to Montreal.
Wonderful atmosphere! From the old buildings surrounding a secluded courtyard, to the live jazz musicians... so unique! Our server was very confident, helpful, and supportive throughout our meal, and the food was SO good. We weren't expecting a restaurant with such an expansive menu to pull things off that well. My favourite was the bruschetta for sure.
Thank you Jardin Nelson, we'll be back! ♥️
Beautiful place.
Eating here was a whole experience.
The food is good. The service is great. Delicious drinks. The decor and ambience along with the live music make it so memorable. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal. The whole front wall, which seems to be the facade from a previous structure, gives it an amazing feeling. It was an atmosphere where families, couples, mature or young, were all having fun. For a while, you feel as if you were in a far away land. Words don’t do it justice. You have to visit the place to fully understand. I will certainly come back next time I’m in Montreal.
One of the best kept secrets of Old Montreal!
Great jazz band at noon and night, the ambience is cool, serene and even romantic almost! I will be back for more definitely. The servers were great and very knowledgeable.
Amazing place with a wonderful atmosphere, great service and live music! We were exploring the old city of Montreal and stopped by at Jardin Nelson to have some drinks. We liked it so much that we returned later to have a meal there. Definitely a must for anyone visiting Montreal!
My Wife and I had brunch here in Old Montreal. I had the saddle of rabbit crepe which had mushrooms, a white wine mustard sauce, cheese and rabbit. It was amazing! Also finished the meal off with a strong Americano coffee. The seating is outdoor but covered with an amazing atmosphere and live music!
Great atmosphere and kind staff. The food quality is good and you can order among a big range of foods,drinks, and desserts while listening to live JAZZ music. It seems they are open late on long weekends but call them in advance to make sure.
Excellent experience overall. Made reservations for lunch. We were welcomed at the front and directed to the host table where we were seated right away. The atmosphere was pretty cool and the jazz duo played some great tunes. Really enjoyed their Beatles set.
Our server was great. Made a few suggestions that we went with (crepe and pizza). Very friendly and checked up on us just the right amount of times.
Food was really good. My daughter, who doesn’t eat pizza often, really like her smoked salmon pizza. The chicken crepe (Diva) I had was delicious.
Highly recommend trying this place out.
