Reviews for The Wooden Monkey in Halifax, NS
Absolutely loved this place. As a vegan with an omni partner, we were both impressed. We came 2 nights in a row. I had a seitan... wrap of some sort one night and tonight a vegetable curry bowl with tofu (pictured) with nachos with vegan cheese for theappetizer. Bf first night had a braised beef dish and tonight did a personal sized pizza. If we lived here in Halifax, we'd beregulars! Read more
We ate at the bar and enjoyed talking to the bar tenders. We've never seen a restaurant staff work so well together. We had... hummus and bacon wrapped scallops. The scallops were so delicious, we ordered a second round! The vanilla pudding was alsovery delicious! It was busy, reservations recommended. Read more
My sister and I ate here twice in June 2022. My sister has to avoid gluten, which made this restaurant a treasure. The servers... were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious! We had the “fried” fish from the lighter fares menu. It was ahuge portion of fish, perfectly cooked and very fresh. The potatoes were yummy and their take on coleslaw was very tasty. Wealso had the fish cakes which were also very enjoyable and very fresh tasting. It was so good we had nachos at their Dartmouthlocation another day. I just wish they had Wooden Monkey t-shirts.

I visited the Wooden Monkey while on vacation in Halifax. I liked the idea that the food options available were organic and... sustainable. I had two Korean tacos and a French onion soup. The flavour of the tacos was outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyedevery bite. The soup was equally delicious; it came with several large pieces of garlic toast sitting in the soup which made ita little difficult to get to the liquid but this was a minor inconvenience balanced out by how delicious the toast was. Becauseeverything is organic or locally sourced, the menu is a bit pricey but don't let this deter you from visiting. I'll definitelypay this restaurant a visit again if I'm ever back in Halifax.

Just stopped in for happy hour on the patio — beer was cold and the staff (especially our server from California!) was... fantastically pleasant and attentive. Would be really nice if there were more mocktail options for those who don’t drinkalcohol! Had the garlic fingers on a whim! Pretty delicious with our beers. Would totally come again! Read more
Very recomendable place. Very good good. I forgot to took pictures of my food. I get a chorizo goat cheese pasta and my daughter... get a veggie curry and I will say both were delicious. If you visit this place be sure that order the tofu chocolate pie fordessert, it is delicious and you will not believe is tofu. 100% I will come back. Read more
The staff were so knowledgeable about food allergies and Celiac specifically. We felt safe eating there and the ambiance was... lovely. Made for a great date night! Read more
Very good service with good food. The reason for 4 stars is that it's good food but not great food. We were a large group so... we got a chance to try quite a few items. Everything was decent but just lacking that little bit extra to out it over the top. For ex, the scallops in the pasta were a bit over cooked. The pasta itself was a bit underseasoned. There were a good thingsas well, the brushetta was awesome, the caeser salad was pretty good and the pork loin tacos were good. I think it's safe tosay we enjoyed the appies more than the entrées.
