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.
From beginning to end, the service was exceptional.

The food was honestly just okay… nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. On top of that, the service overall was pretty slow, which was frustrating at first. But what really saved the night was our amazing waiter, Felipe. He was incredibly kind, super generous, & went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable & taken care of. His energy completely turned our night around. If you go, ask for Felipe…he's the real MVP.
