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.
Amazing atmosphere, well thought out & cozy. Very convenient for folks staying in the area. Great service too! After a long travel day I fully expected to only be able to eat a Caesar Salad with no croutons (I have celiac disease & can't have gluten). Upon telling the server about my allergy & ordering a salad, she graciously pointed out an option for gluten free pasta (penne) with their truffle veal cream sauce. I accepted the recommendation & even though I was hesitant, the meal was amazing & I did not get sick! Would recommend coming here. My husband's meal also looked delicious.
Il y a deux semaines, j'ai célébré mon anniversaire au Blandino. Nous étions un groupe d'une trentaine de personnes & nous avons été très bien servis du début du souper jusqu'au moment plus festif autour du bar. Mention spéciale à Ben, Philippe & toute leur équipe pour leur accueil & leur service impeccable.
C'est certain qu'on y retournera, que ce soit en couple, en famille ou entre amis. Je vous le recommande vivement!

Amazing experience! The food was excellent from start to finish, & the service was quick & attentive. A huge thank-you to our server Oscar, who was absolutely wonderful - friendly, professional, & thoughtful. We also really appreciated the great accommodations for our baby, which made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
The service was good, the waiters were nice, we had made a reservation for my son's birthday, but the taste & quantity of food were not interesting at all for the amount you pay.
