Just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of Yonge and Bloor, Bumpkin’s has been a local landmark since 1971, serving the very best in French continental cuisine with an old world Parisian feel. The newly updated two-story Victorian house has a handsomely sophisticated interior, featuring two fireplaces and a set of crystal chandeliers, that once graced the interior of the Royal York Hotel, and beautiful pieces of art throughout the restaurant.

During the spring and summer months, Bumpkins offers an outdoor dining experience on their terrace, complete with a view of Norman Jewison parkette. Distinct to the menu is a selection of masterfully conceived dishes ranging from the baked garlic butter escargot bourguignon to veal chop with mushrooms to the steamed fresh P.E.I mussels. All of the fine fair can be accompanied by a selection from the extensive cocktails and wine list.

Came here for the first time after 30 years with my father and family, and the food was as good as always! Min was above and beyond, the food was delicious and the service was even better. Great environment and delicious food and drinks, couldn’t have asked for a better night. Min was our waiter and bartender, and made our whole night fun and amazing, cannot wait to come back soon!

I've never been disappointed. While Bumpkin's in the heart of Yorkville, it continues to be a bit of a hidden gem. Great for a date or just for a casual get-together.

This is a very nice restaurant near Yonge Street between Bloor and Wellesley (it's on Gloucester). The room setup is for fine dining and the food and service are excellent. At lunch time, there are usually just a few people there, so you can have a comfortable and personal conversation without worrying about noise or being interrupted.

We visited Bumpkin’s late on a Sunday for our anniversary. It was a fabulous experience. The decor and ambience is very romantic and attractive. Soft beautiful jazz music played. The food and menu is large, diverse, and delicious! Everything was prepared perfectly and was a great portion and value. The service was spectacular. We felt so special and will remember the meal forever.

Bumpkins does live up to it's name. It is in a lovely house, but it has not been updated or at least refreshed. Food was VERY basic even though the menu gave the impression of French cuisine....Canadianized. Our server always seemed to be in a rush though there were many empty tables. We chose this venue because it was close to the CAA Theatre. Bumpkins gave us a 15%discount on the meal because we were attending a Mirvish production.

I haven’t been to Bumpkin’s since my early days in Toronto - it was wonderful then and did not disappoint now. Wonderful cuisine, the staff attentive and friendly. The food was SO good. Wish we had too for dessert! A great place to go before the show at the CAA theatre - a 2 minute walk away. Glad to see that Bumpkin’s is still such an icon of the Toronto restaurant scene.

We made reservations for 5pm when it opened for dinner. We had arrived early and began waiting under the canopy because it was raining. We were let in early and offered seating inside the restaurant. We were then offered our table at 5 beside the window. Perhaps the rain deterred people from coming out to dine, but the restaurant was quiet while we were there. Service was exceptional and the food was delicious. We would return.

This place is dated. Which could explain why not many ppl on a Sat night. But then the food came and that really was explained why not many ppl. It was meh! My sole was mushy. Everything else was just okay. However I must say our server was Great! He would be the only reason my family would return. But I’m sad to say I won’t be going back, nor would I recommend.

It was a nice place to have lunch prior to the theatre. 4 older ladies for lunch, would have been nice to know the the lunch portions were huge, far too much to eat. The food was good, just would have ordered something different had we known.
