Score
Blanc has been inspected eight times since 2023. Blanc was last inspected on Feb 6, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
Compared to other Fort Myers restaurants (averaging 80), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
