Wooden Monkey - Halifax, Nova Scotia

The restaurant has a great location near the Citadel. We enjoyed our food but it took a long time to receive our meals. If you have more time to spend and aren’t in a hurry, it is a solid choice. They also have outdoor seating.

We had guests in from out of town and they loved this place so much we came twice in three days. We absolutely devoured everything on our plates both times! They're also very accommodating to those with dietary restrictions. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

I just finished eating, I’m literally still at my table, I couldn’t wait to let others know about this place. Food is amazing, you can taste the difference of local products. Scallop pasta is one of the best things I’ve eaten in a number of months. The mushrooms are very ... mushroomy, so if you like mushrooms, great choice. The blueberry pie is crust, 1032 blueberries with (I’m assuming) a bit of sugar, and then crust. It’s just chock full of blueberries. And the crust tastes like a sugar cone, which is something I’ve never said about pie crust but now I want all my pie crusts to taste like that. Definitely a great choice! So happy I came! And, of course, the shop local initiative just makes everything better 😊 Read more

Great environment and food. Their locally sourced ingredients indeed escalate the taste and flavours. One of the best vegan restaurants I have tried so far in Canada. I visited it almost everyday for lunch on my trip there, but never did it get boring. Highly recommend this place for vegans ... and vegetarians. Read more

The Wooden Monkey was recommended by my friends living here, they certainly cater to a number of dietary restrictions which are very helpful and they have great food. I can't describe each dish, but there were no cons, everything was well seasoned, the crust on scallops and salmon were to ... perfection, mussels were delicious not the best we had but very good, and starches had good flavours. I can't say anything was too special or unique but for a farm to table experience that catered to some restrictions, it was tasty. Read more
