jardin nelson

delicious! i had the diva crepe which had chicken and broccoli. the crepe was perfectly made and had just the right amount of flavor. prices were reasonable.

ask for a table for 2 in the sun at 2:30 in the afternoon few available for 4 or 6 persons. "we can't split the group tables" they told us... my response... " we can't eat here then ! "

poor service. had the worst service and the food was mediocre, we placed our order for mixed salad greens and we received the strawberry spinach salad, that was fine we thought maybe she did not understand us correctly, i opened my napkin only to find a knife but no fork. i had the salad on my plate but no fork so i asked the waitress if she could please get me a fork. i waited and waited while she cleared off tables and took orders from other patrons. eventually i had to ask another waitress for a fork which she immediately brought to me. about 15 minutes later the waitress came to me with a fork. we then had some sort of appetizer that was cheese baked in a crust, there was nothing good about it at all. we ordered the mexican pizza which was supposed to be spicy (it had a picture of a hot pepper beside it) but it ended up being very bland tasting. she did not ask if i would like another glass of wine as it sat empty half way through the meal. worst of all it took another half hour to get our bill, i had to flag her down in order to pay. the restaurant itself was very unique and the music was excellent but i would think twice about eating there again.

hostess would not move our table for fear of upsetting the server wtf. so we asked the server and she was super cool about it. excellent mimosas. birds chirping. lovely breeze. i recommend!

a little expensive for what you get but worth it for the atmosphere and live music. fantastic for brunch on a sunday and a walk around the old city.

over time jardin nelson has become a tourist trap. the concept is nice, open skylight and different levels of dining in garden atmosphere. bands playing on certain nights give off festive atmosphere. for the foodie, this is not ideal gourmet place. i go here for cheap nachos and beer, on a warm day after walking around old montreal for a break to rest my feet. casual place and busy most of the time.

the setting and atmosphere this restaurant has is incredible because you’re sitting in the middle of a garden while there is live music entertaining you during a beautiful montreal summer day! we waited to get a table which was exciting for me because it meant that the demand to eat there was high and that the food must be great. i ordered the mushroom crepe which was lovely! the variety of mushrooms was great but i wished they used a variety of cheese too.

i don’t think i did this restaurant justice by ordering a crepe but the waiter said they are very popular so i had to try it.

tried this french, american & italian restaurant for dinner. it's situated in the old town of montreal. busy with lot of activities. the restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. the service is great and.quality of food is top class. ordered breaded calamari, lasagne and sandwich. all were very well prepared. it also has the live music.

the food was fantastic. all 4 members of my family licked their plates clean! first off, the salmon lasagna was very creamy, had large chunks of salmon in it, and was prepared perfectly as it was extremely hot and cheese was crusted well. the chicken pesto crepe was a bit on the colder side but overall was extremely tasty and packed with flavours. the baked ziti was well made and had a very classic taste as well. finally the duck confit was a prize to my tastebuds. such decadent comfort food while travelling is hard to find , but the duck confit really shone and the fruit ketchup and beets sides really added a tangy flavour that offset the really heavy tastes of the potato and the duck. overall, great experience, and all under 125 dollars including alcohol for 2 people!

this is the place where you can find many cuisinesavailable at the same location , you can have a special burger while trying some amazind salads , ambiance is so lovely , service is so good

this restaurant is located in the centre of old montreal & has a beautiful outdoor ambiance. it's busy & noisy; the food was ok, nothing special. the live band was good but we were seated directly next to them making it difficult to carry a conversation with friends.

this is a fantastic spot in old montreal. it is a little on the fancier and more expensive side but totally worth it. every dish our group had was amazing but if you have to pick one thing go with the crepes. they have about 12 different varieties of crepes and they are all amazing. i did find my crepe slightly on the sweet side but the other people in our group had no complaints. the atmosphere and service is 10/10. highly recommend.

one of the few gluten free places in the plaza.  service is at a relaxed pace so you won't be hurried, but you also won't get in and out quick.  the herb chicken wings appitizer was amazing, some of the most delicious wings i've had before.  the gf pizza was decent and the banana chocolate crepe was good but if you want a real crepe go to creperie du marche in the jean talon market.  sit out front and enjoy people watching and you may still partially hear the live music.  a little pricey but the exchange rate for us dollars made it not bad.

jardin nelson is one of my favourite restaurants in montreal. the food is good, but mostly i like the ambience of the open air courtyard with the different terrace levels and plants, along with the live jazz music.

i went there for dinner with a colleague who had not been before. we got there just before 6 pm and we had to wait in line about 20 minutes for a table. it was worth the wait.

we started the meal by splitting an order of their breaded calamari, and both of us agreed that it was one of the better calamari dishes we had ever had. the breading was a light golden brown and had a light crispness, and the coating flavour was mild, so as to not overwhelm the calamari. the temperature of the calamari inside was just where it needed to be, so that each bite was a delightful chew.

for my main course i chose the florentine crêpe. the crepe batter was buckwheat and hemp; a pleasant earthiness. the filling was the traditional florentine ham and spinach, along with bechamel sauce, parmesan and brie. delightful upscale ham and cheese!

great place, average food.

situated at the heart if the touristy area of old montreal, this restaurant is hard to be missed. the atmosphere was amazing, as you find yourself sitting in a garden surrounded by the quaint buildings of old montreal, and immersed in a live jazz band performance.

the menu is more geared towards comfort & pub food, with some selection of pizza.

the food itself was average, but i guess you are paying for the atmosphere.

great place to spend a few hours, not so great a place if you're looking for awesome food.
