Originally opened in 1971 at Parliament and Wellesley, Bumpkins now sits at its current location on Gloucester Street in a converted mansion. Tucked away on a quiet residential street, the neighbourhood restaurant has a strong history as a popular destination for local diners. The multi-purpose space also caters to larger groups, corporate events and private dinner parties.
With a cozy-yet-elegant atmosphere, Bumpkins is a favourite among Toronto politicians and high profile diners but still remains a comfortable, welcoming place for neighbouring residents. The entire restaurant was renovated in 2012 and now features a large, sophisticated dining room adorned with crystal chandeliers and a marble fireplace. The front lounge space is marked with cozy armchairs and is designed as a separate area to enjoy a cocktail before or after dinner.
