Bumpkins Restaurant

This is a modestly priced restaurant. The portions are generous and the price very reasonable. We had Sunday Brunch here and found the service good. Each meal order comes with an option of a soup or salad and some bread rolls which were excellent! The food was also good.

My wife and i ate here a few times several years ago. Great food at very reasonable prices, but the place was starting to look a bit tired so we were in no hurry to go back. Last week we were invited to a family function which happened to be hosted here. We could not believe this was the same restaurant — it has been completely transformed both inside and out. It’s now elegant and cozy but they retained the charm of the century old building.
Thankfully what did not change was the quality of the food and service. Extensive menu with something to please everyone in the group. Probably the best french onion soups i have ever had. Steak was beautifully seasoned. Seafood seemed to be a big hit with those that went this option with a few raving about the steamed mussels.
Great to see the same waiters from years ago were still here, and jovial as ever. Not only were they attentive, but they were fun and had us laughing. They seemed to know many of the other patrons by name which suggested these were regular customers.
Non-​pretentious, great food, sincere and friendly service… there is a reason this place has been around so long. Highly recommended.

I’ve been for brunch and dinner here and both were fabulous! Their eggs florentine are delicious!
Their staff is really friendly. I don’t really notice it being too busy though so I’m hoping they stay around!

I’ve eaten here dozens of times and I must say it is one of the best restaurants in the downtown area. One of the specialties there is the escargot and I strongly recommend you try it if you get the chance to go there. The waiters are absolutely amazing and very friendly. We see the owner there almost every time and he always makes sure the service is always up to the highest standards. Amazing place! Great food! Good pricing! Strongly recommend!

Best rack of lamb and Cuban lobster I have ever had. The appetizers were good too and the French chocolate torte was to die for. So good totally recommend for fine dining. Service was excellent. Totally catered to us because it was our anniversary. But I think they do anyway.

Cute restaurant, warm atmosphere. Great service. Our waiter was named David, he was very professional and gave his recommendations. Large variety to choose from on the menu, along with the specials of the day. I had the mussels in a cream sauce. Flavour was good but sauce was very watery. I followed with the salmon which was delicious served with roast potatoes and mixed vegetables. A glass of chardonny completed the meal.

Perfect place to entertain clients over a quiet brunch. Large well spaced tables lets itself well to discussing business. I have only ever had the eggs benedict, they do it well with lettuce salad, fruit and real home fried potatoes. Presentation is nailed and the service is flawless, personal and they seem to know when to leave you alone so you can get down to business with your clients. The only weak link is If you are a coffee lover which I am, I would suggest you skip the coffee at $ 3.00 per cup, it is anything but gourmet and you will be disappointed.

Well, I never got a chance to experience Bumpkins’ food — so I can’t rate that. But the fact that I called yesterday to make reservations SPECIFICALLY for a table at their patio, and was assured I would have one — and then learn upon arrival that their patio is closed — definitely doesn’t put me in the mood to spend my money there or to recommend it to anyone. Not to mention that the weather was perfect, and all around it people were enjoying food and drinks on the patios — why would they even close the patio? But — why not tell me that upfront rather than acquire an angry misled customer? Beats me.

Cozy little restaurant… Though the wall paintings are far from perfect, it really adds to the atmosphere. Kudos to that!
The food is pretty good, especially their escargot and lamb! There is no foie gras on menu which is a disappointment and the paté is just supermarket quality. As for desserts, we tried the torte and tartufo. They were delicious. My Mom ordered the crème brûlée which was not the best she’s had… If anything she’d know because that’s the only dessert she orders if crème brûlée is on the menu!
A personal dislike here: I have trouble going to a «French» restaurant where no one, not even the chef himself, can speak French. Italian restaurants I can understand… but French?!? No!!!

Cute little place in a quiet street. The place is dim and cozy, great setting. Host was friendly, and we were seated immediately. The menu has a great range of food, didn’t know what to choose for the longest time.
Appetizer: mussels. They were prettty awesome, good amount and great flavour. My friend had the soup of the day and loved it. The grilled calamari was good as well.
Entrée: surf and turf. The lobster is tender. The steak, I asked for medium rare but it was a little over-​done. Not a great steak but I guess this is not a steak house. The potatoes on the side was great though!
Dessert: Tiramisu is better than most places. They had a good selection of desserts.
The service is friendly, and the waitor recommended a good wine. We went on a quiet day, or it’s just not so busy there. Overall the atmosphere and experience were great. :)

This is serviceable continental cuisine, old Toronto style, not exquisite but tasty enough and filling, though my partner said he «wouldn’t come back». I enjoyed the house pâté and escargot; the mussels less so. Warning: medium rare means rare here. Very good service and a comfortable room.

Unobtrusive Continental Restaurant just off Yonge Street, Two blocks North of Wellesley TTC Station. Have been going here for years and cannot understand why it is not more popular, probably because of its location. Has nice summer patio, and inside windows overlook a parkette. Extensive menu. Good & friendly service. Fireplace in winter.
