Restaurants & Dining Guide

Whistler Resort has a wonderful variety of restaurants to suit every palate and budget. The wide selection features everything from local delis, pubs, cafés, bistros, and fine dining establishments with world famous chefs.

Evening dress in Whistler is 'resort casual', where dressing up for dinner is perfectly acceptable but not required. During peak times in the resort, it is recommended to make a reservation for dinner in advance.

Can’t decide? Take a tasting tour and sample five restaurants at once! Whistler Tasting Tours offers two different tours featuring British Columbia wines paired with unique culinary creations. Call 604.902.8687 for reservations.
