Jardin Nelson came up as one of the recommended places for brunch on our trip to Montreal. The place itself is very beautiful, the ambiance is lovely and the Jazz playing in the background makes it a perfect weekend brunch setting.
The downside - both the dishes that we ordered were bland. We were warned that the food is not what people go o Jardin Nelson for. The service also was very poor. It wasn't very busy when we were there but it took our server forever to get water.
It's good to check out on a visit to Montreal but we'd never go back again!
