Monkey Farm Bar & Eatery

Neighbor restaurant style, cozy vibes, nice New Zealand food.

Great food. Great place for the kids, they had an amazing time in the playground.
Friendly service.

Awesome atmosphere, great service, delicious food and well priced! Would definitely go back again! Would recommend the share plates!

We had a great time here. The food was delicious and very generous servings. Kid's loved the playground and raved about the pork wontons and fried chicken. Also for the beer lovers a good happy hour not sure when it started I think 5- 6.30pm. Good service and will definitely return next time I'm down in Wanaka

Friendly staffs and lovely customer service, on top of that yummy food

Staff were really friendly and attentive. The fit out is really nice and comfy, we had a cushy booth seat by the window which was nice. Good vibe for a suburban restaurant and still quite a few diners for a Sunday eve. Mains took quite a while to come out but the lamb main was amazing! Tip: Get there for happy hour from 4.30pm - 6.30pm for selected $5.50 beers & wines :D Would definitely return! Would be great on a summer's arvo as big outdoor area. Lots of families and kids too and a playground outside.

Excellent and delicious food ... top service .... nice views .... clean and fresh venue .... great portion sizes and great prices .. happy as .... we will be back

Nice atmosphere and staff. Very generous size meals!

We dined at Monkey Farm for an early dinner. We had an amazing time! The staff were extremely friendly, with lots of smiles. The portion size were very generous -yum. We dined with our two girls, who were so excited when they saw the playground. So happy all around! Thanks again to the staff at Monkey Farm :)

Excellent service and delicious food!!

We went for dinner at 6pm, was happy hour also so that was great! Food was excellent and came out quickly. Really good choice of happy hour beers and wines. Atmosphere is awesome, warm, nice fire and very cool fit out. Nice friendly staff and caters well for everyone including families. Definitely a place to try, we will be back for sure.

Lovely meal, very relaxing place for a night out. Highly recommended

Great food and service. The starters were amazing especially the tempura cauliflower and potato skins. Will definitely go back.

Had a great meal at Monkey Farm. The food came out really quickly and the service was great. :)

We were lucky enough to get first table at Monkey Farm, food was fab! The lamb rump especially was very good and to get 50% off the bill allowed us to try more dishes than we normally would , Thankyou

Excellent food and service

We loved Monkey Farm. The decorations and the staff were lovely. The food was awesome. We will definitely come back.

Excellent staff very attentive. Fun night Yummy food, very generous portions.

Surprisingly yummy food. Had a great evening

Service was quick, and friendly. Food was reasonably basic but well made. I would recommend giving their chicken parmigiana a try!

Delicious food shared in a great atmosphere with very friendly and attentive service. Shared plates and gourmet burgers were attractively served and very tasty. One of our party had the Squid salad as a main and rated it the best salad he has ever had. We were well satisfied with the first two courses and reluctantly couldn't fit in a dessert. A very good range of local beers and wines. Staff more than happy to pack up any left overs which came back to us in enviro-friendly containers. Can well recommend - we will definitely return. Thank you Monkey Farm team.

Have been here several times now and the food and service is consistently amazing. A must try if you are travelling through or live in wanaka

The food was very tasty and the presentation was equally lovely. The servings generous and great service - attentive but not intrusive. A nice venue Our only minor issue was that a number of the dishes on the menu weren’t available as they had run out. Aside from that absolutely no complaints and would definitely return and recommend.

We had a great time! Our first visit to Monkey Farm Bar, met with friends and had a wonderful meal in great surroundings. The staff were excellent, there right when you wanted them, service with a smile and the right advice for us to have the perfect outing. Thanks guys, you’re the best!

The food was tasty, the service was friendly and the restaurant was warm & cozy. It was a nice place to hang out with my family and friends. We went again the following night and for breakfast a few days later.

Great experience, friendly & helpful staff and the food is yum.

Restaurant was extremely busy and the staff did very well under the circumstances
Lamb was superb

Great food, atmosphere and service. Thanks again

Great service as always, steak was a tad dry and was surprised to see they had increased the price on the meal, considering the meal had become a lot smaller

Excellent meal and atmosphere, love going to the Monkey Farm

Service was excellent and food really good, the chicken, cauli and won tons were my favourite. We will be back :)

Excellent Friendly Service. Great meal - the smoked pulled pork wonton starter was great and the Flinstone steak epic!

We had dinner as a family at Monkey Farm on Sunday night. The service was great, as soon as we were seated we were brought felts and colouring pages for our 2.5yr old and given a great amount of time to order. The lovely waitress told us about their Happy Hour which I wasn't aware of and I had a lovely glass of Sommersby Apple Cider which was delicious (even more so being cheaper!)

We ordered a range of the sharing plates rather than a main each and the food was hit and miss. The pork wontons were lovely and came with a great beetroot sauce and aioli and the sliders were perfect little mouthfuls of burger. The salt and pepper squid wasn't fried well and was still quite watery unfortunately and the fried chicken was bland and tasteless, although cooked well.

The ambience of the restaurant is lovely, my husband hadn't been before and really liked the setup and layout. Overall a good meal out considering the good service, the total price we paid for a family dinner for 3 (under $40!) and getting dinner over and done with in under an hour without feeling rushed.

A lovely dinner out. Service and food were fab

The food was great and the staff very helpful totally recommend

Great food and service, lovely relaxed place to eat. We took our two year old son and great food choice for him, they were very accommodating with his allergy. Thank you

Delish food!! We Tried a few options off the entree and mains menu and loved all of it. Super tasty, great portion sizes and the service was spot on. Thanks guys !!

Best steak I’ve ever had!! So much food and it was cooked to perfection! Really happy and will be returning :)!

Love this restaurant with the very spacious setting and relaxing decor. The service is top notch with very friendly staff that are not over the top with invading your meal out but keeping an eye out in case you need anything. The food is just fantastic especially the squid for me and the lamb for my husband. We were really impressed that when asked how our evening was I mentioned how great everything was but one of their toilets needed some attention and the manager himself was straight onto it. That shows to me a real team behind providing a great service for our enjoyment. Well done guys we will be back.

Had a great meal at Monkey Farm. The food was delicious especially the fried chicken starter! The service was great and the atmosphere is really cool. Best new place to go in Wanaka!

Excellent food and service
Lamb rump was cooked perfectly and really tasty
All well presented

Excellent service and food had a lovely dinner with friends. We will be back.

We had a great dining experience in a warm attractive setting.
Loved the mixed ages of the other patrons with Young families mixing with after work groups
Friendly attentive staff & great food.
Thanks Monkey Farm Bar
