Whistler is more than a world-class ski resort; it is a culinary destination that has quietly evolved into one of British Columbia’s most exciting food scenes. From slopeside fine dining to cozy village hideaways, the restaurant landscape here reflects both the rugged mountain environment and a surprisingly cosmopolitan palate. Whether you are visiting for a powder day or a summer alpine hike, the village offers a diverse range of flavors that go far beyond standard pub fare.
For American travelers, the dining experience in Whistler feels both familiar and refreshingly international. The proximity to the Pacific Northwest means an emphasis on fresh seafood, wild game, and locally foraged ingredients, while the resort’s global visitors have inspired kitchens to master everything from Japanese robata to authentic Italian pasta. The result is a competitive restaurant market where quality is high, and the options cater to every budget and occasion.
Choosing where to eat can be overwhelming, especially after a long day on the mountain when hunger hits hard. That is why we have curated a list that balances iconic institutions with hidden gems, ensuring you find the right table whether you are celebrating an anniversary, feeding a family, or simply craving a perfect après-ski burger. Each selection has been evaluated for consistency, atmosphere, and the kind of memorable flavor that defines a great mountain meal.
The best restaurants in Whistler share a common thread: they understand that dining here is part of the adventure. You will find chefs who work with local farms in Pemberton, sommeliers who champion British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley wines, and servers who know exactly how to pace a meal for guests with early morning lift tickets. This is not just eating; it is an extension of the Whistler lifestyle.
In this guide, you will discover a range of options that prioritize both value and experience. We have included spots that require reservations weeks in advance as well as casual counters where you can walk in wearing ski boots. The goal is to help you eat extraordinarily well without wasting a single evening of your vacation on a mediocre meal.
Below, you will find our curated selection of the top dining destinations in Whistler right now. Each one offers something distinct, from wood-fired cooking and handmade pasta to sushi that rivals Vancouver’s best.

Good choice for breakfast. They also have food for other times of the day. A bit pricey but maybe because it's Whistler.

Fair & honest reviews. I rarely give 5 ⭐️ which means it is top notch. Each ⭐️ rating could include half a star. Here's your guide to the ratings:
5 ⭐️ = must try & all areas great.
4 ⭐️ deserves a visit.
3 ⭐️ on par & worth considering.
2 ⭐️ is below average.
1 ⭐️ is a serious warning & even a ZERO.
Pet friendly patio! Happy hour from 2pm to 5pm all food was 20% off! Food was so tasty. Portions were large. We went home with leftovers.
Self order at the bar and pay first...was a little odd to us, but I guess it prevents walk offs!
It’s casual but classy.
Louise offered a bid at Maury young art centre fundraiser and I had my bed accepted for dinner for two and two drinks at Hunter gather
The value was incredible and three of us had a hard time finishing all our food; in fact, we had to take some home
The beers were delicious, the barbeque brisket was fantastic, the jalapeño cornbread and dip was outstanding, the Pemberton french fries were amazing, the wilted kale was delicious, and the salad dressing was second to none.
And the cheesecake had a French berry Coolis, which was scrumptious
Definitely going back when I’m hungry again someday…
Decent portions, flavorful food and great ambiance…really what more could I ask for! Everything our group ordered was delicious. Two days later I door dashed their chicken shawarma and was so glad I did. It was delicious. Highly recommend this place!
I recently visited Hunter Gather with my dog. Thank you for being dog-friendly, although dogs are only allowed on the patio.
When we arrived, the only available patio table was a larger table that could seat six people. I asked a male staff member if it would be okay for the two of us to sit there with our dog, and he said yes. As we were walking to the table, we noticed guests at some smaller tables in the patio were finishing their meals. When we placed our order, we told a female staff member that we would be happy to move to a smaller table once one became available.
Unfortunately, her response was surprisingly rude and unhelpful. Before asking any questions about the situation, she said, “We will not move our guests, we are so busy,” and “You only have two people, you cannot sit at the big table.” Her tone and attitude were disappointing, especially since we had already been given permission to sit there and had offered to move voluntarily.
The experience left such a negative impression that, for the first time ever, I chose not to leave a tip. Ironically, about five minutes before our food arrived, two smaller patio tables became available.
The food was fine, but the interaction with that staff member significantly affected our experience.

Our server Finley was fantastic!! We came in as a group and he took care of us fast and suggested me a flight of dry wines to my liking. The steak sandwich was pretty good. Really enjoyed the fries.my friend got the chicken backn ceaser salad and the dressing was perfect
Wow what a great one year anniversary lunch!! One of the best views I would say, and the chicken wings and drinks were absolutely incredible. Chloe was our server and really made it a great time and I don’t say that often. it was our one year wedding anniversary, and she provided us such great service. Not overbearing or to neglectful!! Just perfect 🤗 and we really appreciated the little complementary wine a blast to celebrate our beautiful day. She even took an amazing photo for us! We will remember this for years to come 🙂
I need to edit my review. I visited the pub on a super busy day during World Cup and the service wasn’t the best. I left a low rating on Google map. After my review the manager reached out to me and she went above and beyond making sure I was happy.
You could see this is a business that truly cares about their customers and the service they provide. I don’t live in whistler but if I come back this will be the place I will go to.
Great food, great service and great vibe.
Thank you Julia for a wonderful customer service.
Stopped here for lunch. Chloe was our server and she was great. I had fish & chips and my partner had the Mediterranean chicken bowl. Both were very good. We sat outside and watched the mountain bikers come down the hill. Great place for pub food.
Luke was an amazing server, he took care of our needs and made sure to serve our food and beverages promptly. I believe wholeheartedly he is manager material to any senior staff that may see potential in him. Thanks Luke! (P.S that Grenade shot you made was literally the bomb!)

Excellent service from Siobhan! She makes the Whistler experience unbeatable
I have visited The Longhorn Saloon two days in a row during my Whistler vacation, and I have to highlight Siobhan's exceptional work.
From the very first moment, she welcomed us with a huge smile and an amazing attitude. She is incredibly attentive, professional, and pays attention to every little detail without even being asked; she is always making sure we have everything we need at our table. Her great energy and excellent disposition truly make a difference.
It is a pleasure to come across people who do their job with such dedication and professionalism. If you visit the venue, make sure to ask for her. Thank you so much, Siobhan, for making our time here so enjoyable!
We were a group of 14, so I understand that serving a larger table can be challenging.
🫠 Unfortunately, the service was really disappointing. Two meals came out very late, after almost everyone else had already finished eating. When we asked about the last missing order, the server suggested that maybe someone at our table had already eaten it, which felt very rude. 😕
The whole experience was frustrating because some people didn’t get to enjoy lunch with the rest of the group. On top of that, we were still charged for the extra burger and had to discuss the issue before it was finally removed from the bill. For around $30, it felt unnecessary to make us prove the problem, especially when the food had been served so late. 😶
The food was mixed. 🍔The burgers were really good, and 🐷 the pork rib was great, but the 🐔 chicken wings were hard to eat.
🎵 The atmosphere was nice, but the service really affected the overall experience for us.
Ruby was easily the best waitress I’ve had in Whistler, and I’ve been here over a month. She couldn’t have done more for our table. She checked in regularly without ever being intrusive, made sure we always had what we needed, and kept our drinks topped up throughout the meal.
Her food recommendations were excellent too, the steak sandwich was a personal favourite. I was genuinely surprised to learn she isn’t a manager, as her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were outstanding.
A huge thank you to Ruby for making our visit so enjoyable. If you ask me, they should rename the place “Ruby’s”
Had a fantastic time at Longhorn Saloon! The atmosphere was lively, and it was the perfect place to watch the Canada vs. Morocco match. Even though Canada didn't get the result we were hoping for, we still had a great experience.
A special shoutout to our server, Caitlyn, she was absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, and always made sure we had everything we needed with a smile. Her excellent service made our visit even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a great place to watch sports, enjoy good food and drinks, and receive outstanding service, I highly recommend Longhorn Saloon. We'll definitely be back!
Great spot. Lovely Aussie waitress. Good rodeo coverage while we were there. Live music as well

Food was ok; portions could have been larger for their price. Mainly burgers; chicken wings and other kind of convenient food. No traditional kitchen with cuts of beef, pork or chicken.
Good service; nice atmosphere. Good selection of drinks. A bit pricey as everywhere(?) in Whistler.
We liked the outdoor seating and food was ok. Our server, Gigi, was very professional and friendly. We ordered the black angus beef burger and the fried chicken burger.
Lots of burger options to choose from (get the Smokehouse Smashed if you’re really hungry!) and will have to come back one day to try the Wagyu burger — the cookies and cream milkshake was tasty but wasn’t as thick as we would’ve liked. And it wasn’t too busy so it was easy to get a table.
We had lunch here during the FIFA WORLD CUP. They have many TVs showing the game. If you have young children or want to avoid the crowd, this is a good place to enjoy your lunch and watch some soccer. Food was delicious.
Amaaaazing burgers and friendly service! We hiked Whistler High Nite trail with kids today and needed a family-friendly place to have a good meal. Stoney’s delivered the delicious food plus an awesome vibe! Sophie our server was amazing w the kids and recommended options that they loved (kid burger and chicken tenders) and our meals were amazing. I had the bison burger and friends had smash burgers. Plates were left cleaned! Bonus was the live music on the patio. Perfect vibe for a low key Friday on the patio with delicious food and great atmosphere. I think Stoney’s is whistlers best kept secret 😉

The food was truly outstanding and wonderfully creative. On top of that, the service was incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast. The 3-course menu offers fantastic value for money. We were initially worried the portions might be a bit small, but the final course left us more than full. Highly recommended!
Balam is a standout Latin American dining experience that blends bold flavors with refined execution. We were lucky to snag a table without a reservation, something that doesn’t usually happen here, as most guests recommend booking in advance to secure a spot.
From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, going out of their way to make the experience enjoyable. A thoughtful highlight was how they prepared a simple yet delicious dish for our little one, house-made pasta with squid ink and olive oil, which really showed their flexibility and care.
The menu delivers across the board. The Salmon Anticucho was vibrant and perfectly cooked, the Peruvian bread fresh and satisfying, and the Tallarín de Mariscos rich with layered seafood flavors. The beef arepa was hearty and well-balanced, while the Nikkei Ceviche stood out with its bright, complex profile and elegant presentation. Each dish reflected a high level of finesse and authenticity.
Desserts were equally impressive! The Amazon Tres Leches was indulgent yet balanced, and the Frambuesa dessert offered a refreshing, slightly tart finish to the meal.
Overall, Balam combines outstanding service, creative cuisine, and polished execution, making it one of the most memorable dining experiences in Whistler.
Came here a while back and ordered the following dishes: Tallarin de mariscos, plantain croquettes and the Salmon Anticucho.
The banana croquettes were lukewarm- to nearly cold when they got served. The flavours were mild and the dish itself was of normal quality, there is a lovely zing to this dish. The salmon is not a whole meal that is definitely something to keep in mind. It was cooked perfectly upon serving. And the seafood (squid ink) pasta was a small but decent meal for me. The flavour of the dish was balanced, but the dish lacked a good balance of seafood- to pasta ratio.
Service is kind, quick and move fast. They don't muck around and if you aren't sure about your order yet, they'll move on to the next table. I personally had no issues with this, but some tables definitely found it a bit rude from what we could hear.
Turnover of tables and getting sections ready again goes quickly and smoothly too.
We had a normal experience at Balan, but wouldn't say it was amazing. We are happy we tried it.
My favourite restaurant in Whistler, everything was cooked to perfection and I thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ordered. My favourite was the squid ink pasta, would definitely come back for that. The octopus salad was a tad tart for me, but the octopus was cooked so well that I still enjoyed the dish as a whole. The flavours for the ceviche was absolutely phenomenal, would definitely recommend.
I tried the sweet bread with beet root butter and to me, that would be a dessert dish. Overall, great experience.
My new favorite spot in Whistler! You absolutely need to check this place out. The atmosphere is completely on point, the food is amazing, and the drinks are incredible. Best of all, the staff here are wonderful. You will not regret stopping in. Be sure to ask for John and Remi—they are true masters of their craft! Pro tip: ask them to shake up a custom off-menu drink for a fun twist.

I absolutely love this restaurant.
Although it’s about a two-hour drive from the city to Whistler, it’s even busier than many restaurants in the city. The staff are professional and provide service that meets international standards.
The guests are truly international, attracting visitors from around the world rather than just local residents. The whole place has a world-class atmosphere.
The food and drinks are easily five-star, and the restaurant’s design is just as impressive.
The only downside is transportation. It’s best to come with a designated driver, or simply stay overnight in Whistler and enjoy the experience without rushing home.
Top-10 lifetime seafood experience — stunning but not pretentious
Wild Blue is a rare find: a restaurant of this caliber that's genuinely welcoming. We came right at opening with our kids, and instead of the stiff treatment you'd expect in a space this beautiful, we were made to feel completely at home. Stunning space, zero pretension — almost unheard of at this level.
The sablefish was the star — easily one of the ten best fish dishes I've had in my life. Perfectly glazed, silky, and rich, sitting in a broth I would have finished with a spoon. The crudo was pristine, the grilled octopus a standout, and even the bread service with marinated olives was a cut above. Photos attached — they speak for themselves.
Laura made the whole night. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable, patient and warm with the kids, and her recommendations became highlights of the meal. Service like hers is why you come back.
If you're in Whistler and want one unforgettable meal — even with the family in tow — this is it. Order the sablefish, book ahead, and ask for Laura's section.
The best of the best!! Fabulous restaurant and so convenient with plenty of parking! Superb service! Thank you Laura for providing such a wonderful interactive conversation and prompt service with a smile! The meal was magnificent with special presentation! The lobster consommé was the perfect starter. Along with the house sourdough of course! Perfect ambience! You do not want to miss out on this fine dining experience! The interior is beautiful but the patio dining was outstanding!! And don’t skip dessert!! You will be glad you came!!
Our second time here in our 5 day visit pretty much sums it up. Everything we tried was fantastic. Tenderloin with black truffle sauce, bluefin tuna, and fresh salad tonight. The service is personable and lovely. Wild Blue is our new favorite in Whistler.
One of our favorite meals we had on our vacation. Tuna noodles, steak, sablefish, vongole, and all the sides were delicious. The sorbet was one of the best I’ve had. We tried all the available flavors (white peach, green apple, blueberry), and they were super strong in the best way possible.

Sat at the kitchen bar and loved watching the staff work. It was fun seeing everything come together and you could tell everyone really cared about what they were doing.
Every dish was excellent. The oysters were super fresh, the white ham appetizer was outstanding (and the star dish), and the beef with foie gras was incredible.
A big thanks to Jan (I think that was her name but I drank a lot) for the great service. Friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to without ever hovering. She really made the whole experience even better.
One of the best meals I’ve had in whistler. I’ll definitely be back.
My friends and I decided to do a spontaneous day trip to Whistler today as we couldn't make it to downtown for team Canada's FIFA match. Lorette was one of the 3 restaurants in my friends list to try out and im so glad that we all voted for this one.
We had Matt as our waiter. He was very detailed on describing what each dish tastes like. To be honest he could probably even convince me to order a bucket of ice cubes to munch on if he had to describe how ice cubes tasted.
The whole staff was very friendly and a huge huge thank you to the chefs for putting such care into the presentation of the dishes. Not only that they made them looked out of this world, the food tasted superbly amazing.
The steak was so tender and the peppercorn sauce was by far the best I have ever had and I've had plenty in my life time. The foie gras was super delicious, it was not gamey at all. Let's not even get started on the bone marrow. It was super deep in flavor and the richness from it gave me a satisfying feeling instead of a "ahh that was too much marrow" type feeling.
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in Whistler, or for a random day trip for that matter.
Thanks again guys!
We came here for the first time during our Whistler trip and really enjoyed it.
There were four of us, so we ended up trying pretty much every option on the 3-course menu, plus we upgraded to the ribeye. Honestly, out of all 12 dishes, there wasn’t one we didn’t like.
Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. It still felt very French, but not heavy at all — the sauces and textures were much lighter and cleaner than expected. The beef tartare with bone marrow and the tuna tartare were definitely the highlights for us.
Service was lovely too. They explained the menu clearly, checked on us at the right times, but never interrupted our conversation too much.
The room had a really nice atmosphere, and I liked that the tables weren’t packed too close together. For four people, with cocktails/mocktails and the steak upgrade, the bill came to around $330, which felt very reasonable for Whistler.
Would definitely recommend, especially for a nice dinner with friends or family.
An excellent restaurant. Great food, great price makes a great find. $50 for a three-course dinner set (ex-wine) is rare to come by these days.
We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartare as well as the bone marrow tuna tartare. All the main courses were really good too. Shout out to Jane and the staff last evening for giving us a great service.
What a beautiful find in Whistler! I opted for the Prix Fixe menu for dinner; great price, for exceptional food. Beautifully presented, cooked to perfection, and full of flavour. Shout out to George and Alex for their friendly, excellent service at the bar (where I was seated, as a solo diner).
I was so impressed with my dinner experience, I returned the next day for brunch. Very nice breakfast, in a beautiful setting.

Only place you should have fondue in Whistler. We’ve been to all the other fondue places in Whistler but Philippe at Flute & Fromage makes this place the best! Great mix of the cheeses and wine in the fondue and the side dishes are perfect. On another day we went we also had the burrata and the foie gras and they are both yummy. Excellent personal service, great view of the main square and delicious food. Thanks again! Went twice this trip! See you again soon.
Awesome little deli with a great selection of charcuterie, cheeses and tinned seafood with a lovely little patio. Great service and amazing platter of charcuterie and cheese. The place is also immaculately clean. Highly recommend you visit.
We had a beautifully prepared charcuterie and burrata with toasted bread. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is tough to beat. I will say they may face trouble with seating if they get any busier, which they likely will with the quality of their food.
A lovely little spot.
Great charcuterie, small bites and raclette with a nice wine selection.
Extensive selection of cheeses and cured meats to purchase to-go.
Outdoor seating with warming blankets where you can watch the world go by.
Very friendly and accommodating staff.
Some of the best cheeses I’ve ever tried! Presentation was top notch and the cheese board did not disappoint. We also had the tartiflette and that was also delicious.It was a cold, rainy day but they had the umbrella set up, a heater to keep us warm and blankets to keep us cozy. Sadly, the restaurant next door was blasting music that contradicts the vibe they’re trying to set at Flute & Fromage. Will come back again and again.

We visited this place during the World Cup and had lunch here with our family and some guests visiting from overseas. The server who took care of us was very friendly, and the food overall was pretty good. We had a nice meal.
Although we had a reservation, the initial wait was a little longer than expected, which was slightly inconvenient. However, we were seated within about 20 minutes, so it wasn't too bad.
In terms of pricing, it wasn't exactly cheap by Vancouver standards, although I understand that Whistler is a more expensive destination. Still, I thought the prices were reasonable enough. The quality of the steak wasn't the best I've had, but it was certainly not bad or inedible. On the other hand, the pasta and some of the appetizers were surprisingly excellent, and we really enjoyed them.
It was also a lot of fun watching the soccer game while seeing the excitement and happiness on everyone's faces. The washrooms were clean overall, and the space was spacious and comfortable.
Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our visit.
We went to celebrate our second wedding anniversary, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.
We had originally made a reservation for an indoor table, but due to the football matches and the lively atmosphere in the city, the team kindly offered to move us to the patio. It made the evening feel even more intimate and special, and we truly appreciated the thoughtfulness.
A special thank you to Sienna, our server, who was incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. She helped make our celebration feel truly memorable. We were also touched by the complimentary champagne and the anniversary card from the team—such thoughtful details that made us feel very special.
The food was excellent, and the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake was an absolute highlight—10/10 and a must-try!
Thank you to Sienna and the entire team for helping us celebrate such an important occasion. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back.
We had a great time and enjoyed our evening and food! Service from Sianna was incredible! The sushi was absolutely a stand out - we had ordered a few appetizers and had just only started with them and then our mains came out and then sat there for a bit so the steak was a bit tougher and colder than we would have liked. Other than that we enjoyed quite a lot!
We stopped here during our visit to Whistler and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant feels a step above the average casual dining experience, both in terms of atmosphere and food quality, while still offering good value. The central location is very convenient, making it an easy choice after exploring the village. The menu is varied, with everything from classic burgers to vegetarian dishes and Asian-inspired options, so there's something for everyone. The service was professional and efficient, and overall we had a very enjoyable meal. I'd happily stop here again when visiting Whistler.
We had a really great experience today at Earls Kitchen + Bar. The food and atmosphere were lovely, but what truly made the experience stand out was the service from Max. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout the whole meal.
One of us personally didn’t enjoy a dish simply because of individual taste preferences, but we did not complain. Max handled the situation so thoughtfully and generously on his own initiative, by waiving those for us.
That level of care and customer service was genuinely appreciated and made the experience feel very warm and welcoming. Thank you again, Max, for your kindness and professionalism!

Provisions was one of the recommended places to eat in Whistler that we found during our search, and we also found it in the Whistler magazine. After reviewing the menus of all the suggested restaurants, we unanimously decided to go to Provisions. As tourists, we appreciated their menu, which featured familiar items at prices that were more affordable than those at other places we considered. The meals were also lighter, which suited us well, and it was conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from The Crystal Lodge.
All the staff members were friendly, and the restaurant itself appeared clean and modern. I particularly loved the combination of wood and marble in the decor. There were interesting displays too, like the bookshelf behind the coffee machine and a sign by the water dispenser indicating that it is a laptop-free cafeteria. With limited tables available, this policy likely helps ensure a quick turnover and fosters a sense of community.
Although I don’t remember exactly what I ordered, I do have a picture of it. The sandwich I had was amazing, and the matcha latte was great too! 🫶🏼 My friends also enjoyed their food and drinks. Just a note: the food is delivered to your table, while drinks must be picked up from the bar by the coffee machine.
For the prices, please refer to the photo of the menu that I uploaded.
$19 for half a roast chicken; $24 with a side (I got brussel sprouts). Only available after 1pm.
Sprouts were delicious and worth the add-on. Chicken tasted good but it was on the dry side. Costco chickens are way more moist. I would suggest asking for sauce. Overall, it’s not a bad price for a healthy, protein-forward, quick-serve lunch in Whistler.
I received excellent service.
My biggest issue is the dining area: there’s not enough seating given its popularity. You can take it to go so that’s an option. If you are lucky enough to find seating, you will be bombarded by flies, which is a bit of a turnoff.
Great lunch and breakfast here. Easy to order and they brought the food over to our table which was nice. Can get very busy but it’s worth the wait! We ate in at lunchtime but took away for breakfast.
This is the best coffeshop in BC that I have encountered so far and I do have pretty high standards. I always get a decent cappuccino here and their sandwiches are exceptional. Recently tried tofu bowl that didn't disappoint as well! Almond croissant is generously filled with real almonds. However my true love - cheesecake wasn't that impressive. Morning times might be very busy, after skiing there were no line ups.
I finally had a really delicious latte after a long time. The milk foam was just the way I like it, and the coffee itself tasted great. The cheddar scone was a bit too salty for my taste, which was a little disappointing. The seating is quite close together and it can get busy, but the atmosphere was still really nice😀

Absolutely fantastic kebab place! The meat is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the skewers come out fresh and flavorful every time. Great sides, and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Best ever kebab I had nice, tasty, faster service and very friendly people…. Highly recommended 💯💯💯👍🏼👍🏼🌯🌯🌯❤️❤️
Had a great experience at Kebab on Fire in Whistler! The outlet is clean, welcoming, and the service was impressively quick.
We tried the Poutine, and it was absolutely delicious—great flavor and generous portions. They also have a good selection of wraps and platters on the menu, so there’s something for everyone.
The washroom was clean and easily accessible, which is always appreciated.
A special shout-out to the person at the cash counter—they were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service, making our visit even more enjoyable.
If you’re in Whistler and looking for tasty food with fast service and great staff, I’d definitely recommend Kebab on Fire!
Great kebabs! Fresh, tasty, and packed with flavour. The meat was cooked perfectly, portions were generous, and the service was friendly. Definitely worth coming back!
It was great the first time i got a kebab plate, that was full and service was great, then my second order i got the driest saddest wrap, i got a signature wrap with lamb and it barely had any lamb on it. It was like eating a dry salad wrap with small slivers of lamb. It was lacking sauce, and mostly was full of veg. I kept eating it hoping theres a bunch of meat and sauce at the bottom but there was none.
I suspect its because they were busy but for the price you'd expect much better and at the very least CONSISTENT quality. Incredibly disappointed by the wrap, we ordered three and they were all the same

Terrific dinner at 21 Steps last night.
This was our second time here and we were not disappointed. The food quality was excellent, service was very good and we really enjoyed our meals. Beef short ribs were especially tasty.
One thing we noticed is that the serving sizes for the appetizers and salad were small - borderline chintzy - especially the potato and corn salad, which was priced at $23 for a smallish salad.
Still recommended and we will be back.
Wow!!!!! You have to dine here! The food was absolutely to die for. I am celiac and was so well looked after, the staff are very knowledgeable about celiac, the menu is well noted with gf, rgf. I felt so welcome here and like my celiac disease was not an inconvenience. Our server Josh was really lovely and attentive! We had the garlic chilli prawns (they can drop the wontons to make gf), then I had the gf smoked chicken penne....DAMN!!!! This was so insanely delicious I wanted to cry. Being celiac means I normally can't have pasta when dining out, and this tasted so good I was worried they gave me real pasta! 😝 But I am very happy to say I wasn't glutened and felt great after the meal. I also got the pot de creme which was heaven. My husband got the cheesecake which he said was the best cheesecake he's ever had!
You simply must dine here!!!
We spent a week in Whistler for a family trip and had Christmas dinner at 21 Steps Kitchen. The restaurant was very busy that night, so reservations are a must. The dishes were fresh and delicious, with lighter seasoning that let the natural flavors shine. The only downside was that the lighting was a bit too dim. Overall, we still enjoyed the meal and would consider coming back again.
Friendly staff - we showed up earlier for our reservation and there was a long wait time and they accommodated us earlier!! Service was good too!
Food is good! My favorite is the braised roast ribbs!! Delicious!!
Kids food available! Pizza is small portion and pasta is a good portion.
Noise is medium - still can talk easily!
Just had a 3 course here tonight and can recommend. The Braised Boneless Beef Short Rib was superb - I am not a massive fan of 'melt in the mouth' meat and the rib had an absolutely spot on texture - moist, very tender but still firm enough. The service was truly excellent (as was my Smoke Signals cocktail).
The environment was a bit noisy but that's down to the venue being very (understandably) popular with everyone having a great evening.
The only change I would suggest is to please let your staff wear name badges as I would have liked to specifically mention our server - I know she originally came from Sun Peaks if that helps. Her attitude and efficiency was spot on - attentive without being intrusive. I really have rarely (ever?) had better service.

We accidentally timed our first visit perfectly and managed to catch the tail end of their Spring Prix Fixe menu. Three courses for $49 at Il Caminetto? Count us in. From the moment we walked through the door, the service was outstanding. Every single person we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy we were there. The food was phenomenal. Beautifully prepared, generous portions, and every course somehow topped the last. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think about their risotto on a weekly basis. The whole experience was a 10/10. Honestly, we'll probably plan our next Whistler trip around another dinner here.
Nice restaurant in the Whistler area with a good selection on the menu. We ordered a couple of pasta dishes, and they were decent. The complimentary bread was a nice touch and a great way to start the meal. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a higher end dining experience.
Edoardo's service was top notch, amazing and one of the best I've seen. My glass was never empty because he constantly filled water for me, asked if I wanted additional bread, and constantly removed any crumbs from our table. Would definitely come back.
The food: ordered salumi(three different kinds I believe), and came with freshly baked garlic bread. Would order again, was melting in my mouth
Risotto ai funghi was perfectly cooked, and tried rabbit sugar bianco for the first time, and loved it. Beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly(asked for medium rare) and the sauce and vegetables were well paired. Added shishito peppers as a side and went well with the steak.
One of the most popular Italian restaurants in Whistler. You’ll notice that many guests change out of their ski gear and dress up a little, which adds to the atmosphere.
Reservations are highly recommended, as it’s not easy to get a table. This isn’t a place for a quick meal, so make sure you have enough time to enjoy the experience. It’s the kind of restaurant where you can spend the whole evening with your partner, family, or friends.
If you’re not sure what to order, ask your server for recommendations. I’d also recommend ordering a drink instead of just sticking with tap water. Save room for dessert—it’s a must.
And don’t forget to tip. An 18% tip is the standard and a respectful amount in Canada.
We had an incredible dining experience at Il Caminetto! From the moment we walked in, the hostess was very nice and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The service throughout the evening was absolutely great—attentive and friendly.
The food was exceptional. We started with the salmon over crostini, which was absolutely delicious. For mains, the Lobster + Saffron Spaghettoni was a standout, and the Gem Lettuce ‘Caesar’ was amazing. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Tofino Spring Salmon and the pasta with red sauce. Even the kids' steak was excellent. Highly recommend this spot for a top-tier meal in Whistler!

We stopped by Meadow Cafe & Seoul Rice in Whistler & were so glad we did! This cozy Café food is absolutely packed with flavor.
I tried the Trio Bibimbap & Korean style Chicken tenders. It's fresh, colorful, and delicious!
If you’re in Whistler & craving something healthy & taste! Especially Korean dishes this is a hidden gem worth checking out.
High recommended!
We got the chicken tinder rice bowl. Chicken was very crispy and juicy, service was fast. The lady at the front was also very nice. We were paddle boarding and had to get lunch half way. Good spot to eat and get a quick break.
This place is amazing! Excellent Korean. Definitely worth the short drive from Whistler. It is hidden around the right side after you walk in, toward the bathrooms and ice skating rink.
We got the sweet&spicy chicken tenders, soy garlic chicken tenders, and the kimchi cheese fries and they were sooo good! The chicken tenders were incredibly juicy and tender on the inside, with the perfect crispy coating on the outside. The sauces were amazing too! My personal favourite was the sweet & spicy one, but honestly, both flavours were delicious.
The kimchi cheese fries had that perfect balance of tangy and cheesy, super flavorful and addicting!
We couldn’t resist the smell and ended up eating a few tenders before snapping a photo, so the portion might look smaller than it actually was. Thanks for the delicious food:)
You can find the best kimchi here. And all the food is amazing. Also the girl who helped me to get the kimchi was so nice that make me try few options before buy it. I am always so happy to buy food from this little store ❤️❤️

The special menu, 3 courses for $69 dollars, is nothing less than outstanding value. Each course was just incomparable in freshness and flavour. And good size portions. The service provided by the staff is not only impeccable but above and beyond - and the same goes for the food. Cannot recommend enough - warm, friendly atmosphere and not stuffy at all; exceedingly comfortable and the wine list has options for all tastes. The mushroom salad was a highlight, with sesame vinaigrette. The ceviche was an explosion of flavours and the wild salmon, cooked medium rare, was glorious and the herby gnocchi was not at all stodgy.
An amazing experience from A to Z. We shared the appetizer for two, enjoyed the Rozie cocktail (a sophisticated twist on lemonade), and the halibut was simply fantastic. Great food, great drinks, and great service. I highly recommend this place!
So happy we chose Rimrock. Sarah was our server and she was amazing! The halibut was the best I have ever eaten!! It had a beautiful potato crust- genius!! I will be dreaming of returning!!
An unforgettable dinner in Whistler! We started with a selection of oysters, both the cooked and raw preparations were stunning. The appetizers continued to impress, from the fresh ceviche and perfectly seared scallops in celery sauce to the bold blue cheese salad. For our main, the rack of lamb and mushroom risotto were the perfect duo to share. Every single dish was exceptional. A true must-visit
The restaurant features a warm, cozy ambiance with a unique wooden interior that adds to its charm and character. The dishes are consistently well-prepared—the lobster soup offers excellent value with its rich, flavorful profile, and the pâté is equally enjoyable. The duck breast was slightly overcooked, resulting in a texture that was a bit less juicy than ideal. Seating near the fireplace creates a particularly intimate and atmospheric dining experience. Advance reservations are strongly recommended.
Tips for Dining in Whistler
To make the most of your culinary journey in Whistler, a little local knowledge goes a long way. The village operates on a unique rhythm dictated by the ski lifts, the weather, and the seasons. Understanding these patterns will help you secure the best tables, avoid long waits, and experience the food the way the chefs intended.
Book early for peak season. During winter holidays and summer weekends, the most popular restaurants can be fully booked two to three weeks in advance. If you have your heart set on a specific spot, make a reservation as soon as your travel dates are confirmed. Many restaurants use online booking platforms, but a quick phone call can sometimes secure a table that appears unavailable online.
Embrace the early sitting. If you are traveling with children or simply want a quieter dining experience, aim for the 5:00 PM or 5:30 PM reservation slots. You will often find the kitchen is fresher, the service is more relaxed, and you can still make it back to your hotel for a hot tub session before bed. Early dining also gives you a better chance of snagging a walk-in table at popular spots.
Understand the après-ski scene. Between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, many restaurants shift into après mode, offering smaller bar menus and drink specials rather than their full dinner service. This is a fantastic way to sample a restaurant’s signature dishes at a lower price point, but do not expect the full a la carte menu during these hours. If you want the complete experience, plan for dinner service after 6:00 PM.
Dress for comfort, but not sloppily. Whistler is a mountain town, and even the finest restaurants welcome guests in smart casual attire. You do not need a jacket and tie, but leaving your wet ski pants and helmet at the hotel is appreciated. Most upscale spots have a relaxed elegance that matches the alpine setting, so clean jeans, a nice sweater, and proper footwear will serve you well.
Ask about local ingredients. The best conversations at a Whistler table often start with a question about what is local. Servers are usually passionate about telling you which farm grew the carrots or which nearby valley produced the wine. Asking not only enriches your meal but also signals to the kitchen that you value the regional food system they work so hard to support.
The dining scene in Whistler is dynamic, with new concepts appearing each season and established favorites continuing to refine their craft. What remains constant is the commitment to hospitality that makes a meal here feel like a reward after a day of adventure. Whether you are sipping a craft cocktail by a fireplace or sharing a wood-fired pizza with friends, the food becomes part of the mountain memory.
As you plan your trip, remember that flexibility often leads to the best discoveries. Leave one evening unplanned, wander the village, and follow the aroma of roasting garlic or the sound of a lively dining room. In Whistler, the next great meal is often just around the corner, waiting to surprise you.
