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.
Entree: 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. :) -

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.

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.

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 pate and escargot; the mussels less so. Warning: medium rare means rare here. Very good service and a comfortable room.
