Lil MacPherson is a born and bred Maritimer- a ‘Blue-noser’ – and proud of it.
With her partner, Christine Bower, she opened The Wooden Monkey in 2004 in the city centre. Their well-thought-out menu is based on “macrobiotic and locally-grown, fresh ingredients” with good locally-brewed beer and fair trade coffee.
Since their opening in 2004 Lil and Christine have garnered awards – “The Best New Restaurant of the Year” in the Coast Magazine and “The Best New Business of the Year”- media attention and lots of new clients from all walks of life including politicians, movies stars and even Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood and his wife Jo. When given a VIP pass to the Stones concert, rather than just showing up, she took the legendary band a Nova Scotia wild blueberry pie.
Late in 2012, with the help of General Manager Matthew Gass, The Monkey opened a second location in Darmouth.
