About Blandford Comptoir

On Blandford St in London, Blandford Comptoir serves Italian-influenced dishes alongside a wine list running to 300 bottles, poured by the glass or bottle and featuring Hermitage and surrounding regions. The menu changes regularly, with dishes such as cheesy polenta, courgette flower and Sicilian prawns among the recurring plates, and focaccia served alongside. Roasted lamb rump and roast French quail appear too, along with mushroom arancini and seabass tartare. Seating runs to a bar option as well as tables, and there are seats outside. The room is walk-in, with no reservations taken. Inside, the front tables near the window tend to be brighter, while the back of the dining room runs darker. The wine list draws on Hermitage and its surrounding regions alongside the wider selection by the glass.

Customer Review Summary

The regularly changing menu is the draw, with diners singling out the saffron seafood veloute, seabass tartare with focaccia, cheesy polenta, sweet Sicilian prawns, roasted lamb rump and a lemon tart to finish. One reviewer stopped in after work for a glass with oysters and mushroom arancini. Close behind is the wine list, described as wide, with high quality wines by the glass and choices at various price points. Service is mostly called friendly and responsive, and several describe the room as cozy. The criticism is pointed where it appears. One reviewer found the staff arrogant, said they stayed away from the table so guests poured their own drinks, and reports waiting a long time for the bill until the next shift stepped in, calling the food well plated but not tasty. Another found the food extremely average for the price. One reviewer suggests the front window seats because the back area can be quite dark, and others enjoyed the outside tables and bar dining.

    “Great neighbourhood french inspired wine bar cum restaurant. Regularly changing menu with inventive chef. Recommend sitting in front seats by window as back area can be quite dark. Bar dining also excellent option”

    “Food is extremely average to avoid saying anything worse; for the price one could even argue it’s not even average. The wine selection is as expected and the atmosphere is the only reason why I’m not giving 1 star as it was cozy and nice enough also we weren’t badly treated. Nonetheless, for the price, I was expecting soooooooo much more. Unfortunately I’m not coming back.”

    “The atmosphere of this restaurant is lovely, and the service is excellent. A special shoutout to Angel, who is incredibly warm and friendly—she gave us thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences, which we really appreciated. The food was also fantastic. My favorite was the seabass tartare—it’s very unique with lots of delicate details in flavor and presentation. The focaccia served alongside was also beautifully made.”
