Blandford Comptoir

Went for a glass of wine after work. Quick service. We had a couple of side dishes including oysters and mushroom arancini. It’s a great place for dates and small groups of 3-4 people. They also have few tables outside.

Good food, nice to sit outside and people watch.

Such wonderful cooking for a local eaterie; very reasonable price point too - as though you are actually in France and it is your human right to eat well. I had a delicious beetroot and trout (cut into a tiny mound of food) which was such a delicate flavour (soaked with gin the waiter said) then boulabaisse. Excellent wine list and knowledge from staff. Small restaurant so book or be disappointed. A neighbourhood gem. The wine was perfect (I had to go buy some afterwards).

All of the more affordable items were not available and we were guided to the more expensive. This was for the steak and the wine. The courgette flowers are wildly overpriced. £12 for one flower is crazy - we were also somehow charged £60 for 6? Felt as though we were purposely target to overpay versus prices and items on the menu.

Had a wonderful time on our first visit here….. definitely won’t be the last! Fantastic wine list, food to suit all tastes and Annie who was our server was just brilliant, polite, friendly and really made us feel welcome.

Great elegant place with character and a wide selection of wines. We enjoyed a sunny day sitting in the tables outside. We ordered few bites and everything was tasty as well as nicely presented. Staff was extremely friendly and very responsive to our requests. Would definitely return.

Friendly and very attentive service, great wine, perfect cozy ambience, and excellent food. The wine list had lots of choices at various prices including many affordable choices. The food is the reason to come. We ordered several sides in addition to one shared main and enjoyed everything brought to the table. The cheesy polenta, Courgette flower, sweet Sicilian prawns, charcuterie, roast French quail, and roasted lamb rump were all perfectly prepared, and each was remarkably flavorful. Even the green peas (I'm not usually a fan) were gorgeous. The lemon tart was a great finish to the meal. Really great restaurant.

Food and service were below expectations. Service staffs were quite arrogant. Thru out the meals they stay away from our table , we end up pouring our own drinks and waited forever for the bill until the next shift staff came to our aid. Shame. We were at the area by chance and came here because of the positive reviews post online however we had a very opposite experienced. Food wise although well plated it is not tasty at all......

Really pleasantly surprised by this spot. Stopped here on a sunny Sunday to make the most of their outdoor terrace. Had a lovely glass of rosé (summer!!) and mixed board + stuffed courgette flower. Some of the cold meats were really exceptional as was their homemade tapenade! Would definitely stop for a snack here again. It's also around the corner from the Wallace collection and monocle shop!

This place is brand new and looked absolutely lovely from the outside so I thought I'd bring my parents to check it out. We had a reservation for 6:45 (I was able to make it the day of on a weeknight, though it was the only time available) and we were seated quickly. Our waitress was lovely. She was very accommodating and took her time with us. The menu is set up in different sections- Raw, Fish/Shellfish, Sides, Meat, and Vegetable, and with most items you can choose a small or large portion. I really like the idea that you can make almost anything an appetizer or entree. We had the tortellini with ricotta, peas, and mint a small portion of the octopus with potato and kalamata olives seabass scallops with peas, fees, fish veloute The scallops were my absolute favourite. They were cooked perfectly and they're oh so tender and soft. The large portion had 4. The tortellini was nice and light, but the large portion was pretty large. And the octopus had really amazing texture... like chicken but it tasted slightly different. It was lovely! The service and atmosphere was truly brilliant, though it could have had something to do with dining early without a ton of other customers and them being newly opened.

Amazing choice of wines by the glass and perfect food to match. Had oysters, tuna , lamb, cheese, chocolate mousse. All dishes perfect. Wines to fit any wallet. Try it out!
