Located in Montreal’s Old Port, Jardin Nelson is one of a kind. This restaurant is only open from spring to fall and won’t reopen until 2024. Jardin Nelson provides you with a full night of food and fun. Not only is their food memorable, but their live band is as well. Located at 407 Pl. Jacques-Cartier, Montréal, Jardin Nelson is one of my go-to summer spots.
Jardin Nelson has a great menu. I have tried a few dishes, and so far, my favorite is the fresh salmon lasagna au gratin. This dish is made with three different types of cheese, fresh Atlantic salmon, and spinach.
