Jardin Nelson

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.

[FOOD POISONING] 2022-05-11 : I had a wonderful time here at Jardin Nelson, our waitress was super friendly and courteous, we sat inside the “garden” where it was shaded and cool. Unfortunately, all of this went badly when I had food poisoning later in the day. The only thing I ate was a toast at 7h30am and we came here for lunch towards 14h00. The cocktails were nice, refreshing and well made (nicr amount of alcohol). I ordered the maple BBQ ribs and they were tasty, but I was bloated right after I finished the plate. I didn’t notice anything immediately after the meal but when I got home, I started feeling nausea and had liquid diarrhea, so it’s a shame. It’s nice under their canopy and “garden” because there is live music being played by musicians. I would recommend you come here for your 5@7 with your coworkers after work or just to have a drink to escape the hot afternoon sun when you're visiting the old port, but not to eat because I don't trust the food. Overall, it’s a good place and I would like to give it a 2nd chance. However, for now, I will give it 3 stars.

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.
