The Wooden Monkey

I had the Korean Tacos and they were so delicious!! So filling of different flavours and creative. In summer, it must be beautiful there, but even on a misty day it was nice!

Ah. The Monkey. How did the monkey do it? Best Bruschetta on the western hemisphere, lovely atmosphere. Every moment was necessary. We found ourselves wondering, time and time again, how did , the monkey, do that.

Always wondered about this place, they have a fantastic location, great view and nice interior, I sometimes wondered why I have never seen anyone come and go from there or heard anyone spoken about the place, then I ate there and the mystery was solved. This was the worst food I had been served in restaurant in recent memory, I'm not even letting the fact that they had a sign out asking me to wait to be seated and after 15 minutes went inside and wen I finally found an employee they had no idea the sign existed influence my opinio (but I wonder how many people waited and waited and walked off) this places menu was extremely concerned with vegan and gluten free issues and they can't get the most basic element of any restaurant in the marines right. Fish and chips how do you screw that up right? Well you would brag about not using oil and then serving dry baked fish patties dry as the safaahaari and baked potato wedges, burned and somehow visibly spiced but that's just an illusion they haveno flavor beyond burned, it is a shame this beautiful location is wasted

Was beautiful on the patio even if we had to run under the awning as it started raining enough that our buns would get soggy.

The lentil burger was to die for and the sweet potato chowder was delicious as well. However it did get cold fast so I didn’t finish it, was a lot of food regardless. Well worth it!

Lamb burger & roasties were the bomb as well. Didn’t get a photo though.
Our sever was amazing as well, although his name escapes me atm.

Dietary restrictions: Being vegan, plenty of options/alternatives
Even though there were no restrictions for the lamb burger the server still double checked to make sure

Food (fish cakes) was dry and cold. They forgot our beet salad. Service was very slow. Will not be going back.

The food was delicious, just it was very little and fairly costly. We ordered the cauliflower largest pizza, its not quite enough for 2 girls, and the Korean tofu in nappa cabbage. The ambiance was lovely.

I had the scallop pasta and my dad had the lamb ravioli as well as the chocolate brownie and blueberry pie for dessert … everything was homemade and absolutely delicious!! Hannah brought us blankets as we wanted to sit outside for our last supper in the maritimes and I wanted to be by the water. She was kind enough to take a few pictures of us as well.

We attended a private function, held at the wooden monkey, and once again were disappointed with the taste and portion of the food. It was just average at best. We found it to be overpriced for what you were getting. Although the server was lovely, the food took over an hour to arrive. However, the atmosphere is beautiful.

What a wonderful experience! There are a ton of vegan options on the menu, and a delicious vegan desert (the Tofu Pie). I really loved the vegan Donair. The sauce is amazing!

Sitting on the deck with the downtown Halifax skyline in view was an awesome way to enjoy a satisfying vegan meal in Dartmouth!

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan options.
