Blandino is a neighbourhood Italian inspired seasonal bistro, bar, and patio that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as take out. Its name pays homage to Carmelo Blandino, a Montreal based artist whose work adorns the side of the building. Atelier Zébulon Perron created a nostalgic yet contemporary design that changes as the day progresses. The atmosphere allows for a comfortable corporate lunch meeting or a casual cocktail amongst friends. Come in for a quick coffee, a meal, or an aperitivo. Delivery is also available.
Overall, reviews describe Brasserie Blandino as a lively, welcoming place with a warm vibe and a strong drinks program, where service is frequently professional, attentive and friendly and the atmosphere works well for groups, families or a casual night out. The food is often regarded as good to excellent with Italian inspired dishes, notably pizzas and gnocchi, and many meals are described as flavorful and well prepared, though some experiences note portions that are too small for the price or dishes that taste reheated or overly salty. Vegetarian options are sometimes limited and veal stock appears in several pastas, prompting calls for more variety and clarity about ingredients. Noise levels and busier nights can make conversations difficult, and there are occasional service hiccups such as slow timing or delays with checks, while other visits highlight consistently courteous staff and prompt wine and cocktail recommendations. Value is seen as variable, with some guests enjoying solid quality for the price and others feeling overpriced for the portion sizes. Overall Brasserie Blandino is viewed as a dependable go to for meals and celebrations, with many confirming they would return to enjoy the hospitality and atmosphere provided the kitchen and service are in sync.
We periodically go out for pizza & drinks. Jerry (shoutout to him for his vibe & personality), Pepe, & other team are all great people, very accommodating & relaxing atmosphere. Great selection of authored cocktails, good beer.
We were here during Happy Hour. I Audrey was our server. She was such a pleasure to speak with, very helpful & lively! A kind & knowledgeable bartender who was a great fun to talk to, & phenomenal prices! I had so many drinks & a full meal, but thanks to Happy Hour prices it was only $60 for an early dinner & 7 cocktails. I would highly recommend this restaurant & Audrey as a bartender/server. The owner also stopped by to check on us. He was very kind.
Thank you to all the lovely the lovely staff, the owner & Audrey for giving us a great time when we were stuck during a 48 hour delay of airline & flight hell. This restaurant made is fun & bearable 💕

The bavette & drinks were excellent, however we found that the fries were a bit underwhelming. This restaurant is great for a quick bite over some cocktails. Would recommend if you are in the area!
My meal at Blandino was world class! Steak cooked to perfection with seasonal veg. Amazing. The best part of the evening was my server Philippe. Fabulous recommendations on wine pairings & cocktails. Service speedy, professional & with a smile. Thank you for a memorable meal.

Nous avons été très bien accueillis dans un cadre élégant & soigné, avec une ambiance chaleureuse & une attention portée aux détails qui se ressent dès l'entrée. Le décor, signé Atelier Zébulon Perron, offre une atmosphère raffinée, parfaitement adaptée autant pour un brunch que pour un souper plus formel.
La cuisine italienne revisitée est maîtrisée. Les gnocchis étaient savoureux, les entrées bien équilibrées, & les cocktails, notamment l'espresso martini, très bien réalisés.
Mais ce qui a vraiment marqué notre passage, c'est le service irréprochable de Sarah. Professionnelle, attentionnée & toujours à l'écoute, elle a su rendre l'expérience fluide, agréable, & humaine. C'est sans hésiter l'une des meilleures serveuses que nous ayons rencontrées, 10/10.
Un établissement à recommander pour la qualité de ses plats, de son environnement & surtout pour l'excellence du service. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
Cocktails were good but didn't taste as it should've been. i wonder if the waiter forgot the alcohol?!? also a bit overpriced. Food was great, otherwise the service was very slow!
We had the arancini to share, the pizza Emi & the fish of the day. The Emi pizza might be the best we had in Montreal! The cocktails were delicious & generous. Loved that they opened up the sitting area to the terrasse while keeping the AC on.
This place is a great addition to the hotel as it offers good quality breakfast, brunch, linch & dinner in a friendly atmosphere & with a great service. We came here for cocktails & ordered some shareable, too. I definitely recommend deep fried Calamari & Espresso Martini.
Bel accueil. Excellent service de Dayton. On a pu prendre notre temps pour déguster notre bouteille de vin. Les pâtes crevettes & calmars & celles au pesto/saucisse étaient excellentes. Bon rapport qualite/prix Bon choix de vin & de cocktail
Superbe soirée avec un service personnalisé génial de la part de Pascal. La nourriture est fraîche & les gnocchis étaient délicieux. Le chef a pris le temps de venir nous voir & le service de Pascal super amical. Il n prenait le temps d'expliquer ses cocktails & nous faire goûter à certaines alcools moins connu. Merci à toute l'équipe,

Great modern italian cuisine & great cocktails. This place has gotten better since last we came a few months/year ago. Arancini & burata entrés were exceptional
We had an amazing meal & very attentive service with great cocktails. Hassle free indoor parking is a bonus! The mushroom tagliatelle is a must, made from fresh pasta in house & the focaccia was a pleasant surprise with its house whipped butter! Will definitely be going back!!
Quelle jolie place !
Le resto est de toute beauté, du sol au plafond les chaises sont confortables & des serviettes en tissu mon crush !
Mais pas que !
On t’accueille avec un chouette sourire & on te sert avec entrain & professionnalisme! Cocktail succulent & tu en as dans le verre !
Le pain focaccia une merveille !
Les pâtes (elles étaient avec du sanglier) du goût ! Une cuisson aldente & une sauce pour marier le tout … l’assiette osso bucco ouf des saveurs si tu les cherches elles sont là!
Bref ! Une soirée qui te transporte au pays « la botte » c’est un Oui
Au top !
The ambience is great, the cocktails were delicious & the portions were generous given the pricing. The arancini & focacia was superb, the ragu dish was not that great- the sauce lacked flavor but the tagliatelle was a great dish!
Chill & lively atmosphere, attentive staff & delicious food - ❤️ presentation
They had a power outage yesterday, as did most of Montreal.
They kept us informed by text & were gracious when we arrived.
The Burrata salad was divine, has berries in it ;)
The tomato soup was creamy & the meatballs were polished off in minutes.
The Basilicata cocktail yummy & refreshing. If you like sweet, ask for it to be sweetened.
Thank you for a beautiful evening.
