Whistler Fine Dining

The Whistler fine dining scene offers foodies and connoisseurs alike, a fleet of restaurants to choose from. Foodies with a penchant for locally sourced menu items mustn’t miss internationally-famed Araxi. Executive Chef James Walt sources produce and ingredients from nearby Pemberton Valley farms, as well as locally caught Pacific seafood (don’t forget the ocean is a mere 77 miles from Whistler). The menu changes seasonally to match the local availability, so there’s options ranging from rabbit and steak, to oysters and other raw bar delicacies, to local mushrooms. Finer diners looking for a complete experience will be pleased with Araxi’s ambiance, fresh décor and knowledgeable staff. For equally impeccable service and an inviting Venetian atmosphere Quattro at Whistler will delight those in search of contemporary, out-of-this-world Italian cuisine. And for a fresh, light meal, a visit to Trattoria di Umberto is a must.

And these are just a few of Whistler’s best, the fine-dining options seem endless. But if you’re looking for a cream of the crop experience head to Bearfoot Bistro. Wine connoisseurs will delight in Bearfoot’s extensive underground cellar. Award-winning Executive Chef Melissa Craig creates an interesting modern Canadian menu, sure to dazzle the most judicious epicureans.
