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.
Went for dinner on the first night of arriving to the hotel. The vibe was really nice, but the music was a bit too loud. Especially being in close proximity to other tables, you have to raise your voice to speak to who you're dining with. Being vegetarian, I knew my options would be limited. I was surprised though, to see that so many pasta dishes etc had veal stock in it. My only options were one pasta dish & the veg pizza. I ended up getting the pizza, which was good (although I was expecting fresh mozzarella & not shredded). My fiance had the seabass which he enjoyed.
Our last morning, we wanted to order room service for breakfast, but when I called to order this wasn't an option as they only had two servers. I can understand that, but maybe it's worth mentioning to the front desk so that they have the right info for guest, because the front desk had informed me that this was an option when I asked how room service worked on our first night. We ended up just doing pick-up. We ordered the breakfast sandwich, which was really good, although I had to ask to remove 2 different kinds of meat. I asked to add an extra egg instead & they obliged...but a vegetarian version would be nice, so that the price reflects. We also had the pancakes. The quantity was sufficient, however, it was supposed to come with fruit & it had exactly 6 blueberries, & was also missing the butter. For $16 pancakes, I would definitely expect a good amount of fruit.
Please consider adding a couple more veg options... Even one vegan option would be nice.
Mediocre food at best. My gnocchi pasta had way too much red sauce & not enough meat. Frankly it felt like it was cooked earlier in the day & they had just warmed it up in the microwave.
Had the burger & a couple of beers during happy hour - no complaints. Service time was average & solid atmosphere of what I'd expect a dinner time hotel resto would be. I'd come back again.
Notre barmaid Philippe, il est incroyable comme personne, toujours à l'écoute & offre un service en or. Chaque verre goûtait le plaisir. Un gros merci, une première ici, mais pas la dernière.

Don't try to seat a middle aged woman at the bar to eat. The host was clueless & annoyed others with seating. The food was okay, but I'll never eat here again even though I'm staying at the hotel for another 4 nights.
Very professional & high quality restaurant/bar located in the Hilton hotel. Absolutely worth visiting. Shoutout to Audrey for making our layover way more enjoyable :)
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 💕

Nous avons réservé le restaurant pour notre soirée de Noel d'entreprise, & c'était une très belle soirée. Le cadre est propice à ce genre d'événements, & l'équipe est vraiment top!!
Benjamin a été très professionnel dès le début: à l'écoute, serviable, arrangeant. Il a été un vrai allié pour l'organisation de la soirée. On sent qu'il a à coeur la satisfaction du client & merci pour ca ! Ca se fait rare aujourd'hui donc gardez-le, c'est une perle.
Merci aussi à l'équipe qui nous a servit durant la soirée.
Ce qu'on avait commandé était très bons.
Je recommande vivement l'endroit!
