1. Auberge Du Pre Bed and Breakfast
Having never really spent any time in Pemberton (although heaps in Whistler) I thought a weekend to explore this valley was in order. After scoping out the ten or so B&B's in Pemberton, we chose Auberge.
Rooms were a little smaller than I've…More »
2. Blackbird Bakery
First off, thank you Chelsea S who tipped me off to this incredible bakery.
The open concept, the rustic, yet contemporary, island where the baking happens, the plugs on the customer side of the counter (for wifi I assume) and the bottle of Schramm…More »
3. The Pony Espresso
Pemberton, BC V0N 2L0

Canadian (New)
With slim pickings in a town of 2500, I was happy to find the Pony. In fact, driving into town my "ah ha, that's where it's at" spidy senses went off and there was no stopping me!
It was alive and kicking on a Friday night, with playoff hockey (we…More »
4. Howe Sound Inn & Brewing Co
Did I really accept the challenge of their beer sampler? At $17.99 it seemed like a deal, and it was. Only problem, I'm a lightweight -- actually, I might go by the nickname "half pint" in some circles. But I just couldn't refuse the tray of brews,…More »
5. Stawamus Chief Park
Blustery, gusty and windy, baton-down-the-hatches style!
With quads a burning, I sit here safe and sound at home after what was an epic climb to summit the Chief's first peak. Just kidding, it's not as hard as the Grind, in my humble opinion, however,…More »
6. Grilled Fromage
So much frickin' potential! You guys (and girls) - come on! At what part did you stop caring about your product? It couldn't have been while you were naming all 60+ of those sammies (K-Ched, Missionary, Rubber Chicken etc), or when you ravaged every…More »
7. Moguls Coffee House
When all you want is a decent cup of java, searching through Whistler Village can be a bit of an ordeal (if you're not familiar with the turf.). There's your standard issue chains: Starbucks, Esquires, Blenz, Second Cup ... but what I really was…More »
8. Buffalo Bill's Bar & Grill
My judgment is clouded. Every time on my way to Buffalo Bills I dread it. The douches. The cougars. The stags. The stagettes. But every time, without fail, I have a good time.
So what makes for a good time at Buffalo Bills? Here's my alphabet soup…More »
9. Great Glass Elevator Candy Shop
One of my secret little obsessions. For some reason I can't help but stop in for some candy. I know that there's similar fare at places in Vancouver, I know it's ridiculously overpriced, but there's just something my sweet tooth can't resist here.…More »
10. Galileo Coffee Company
Kids, I think they struck gold here... literally and figuratively, as this awesome little coffee shop is right next to BC's museum of mining. The parking lot did not rest as the line of people just get kept trucking through. Looks like both locals…More »
11. Whiski Jack at Lake Placid Lodge
-Water backing up in the sink - disgusting dirty water
-Closet door doesn't slide
-Shower door doesn't close
-$15 parking for overnight (until 6am), but we were assured it was $5 if you were staying at a hotel
-At check in, heard two other people with…More »
12. Caramba Restaurante
For where and what it is, it's okay. It's expensive for what it is, but for where it is, it's a reasonable restaurant. The staff seems a bit uppity, a bit uninterested but they do their jobs.
I've had their grilled calamari a number of times…More »
13. Splitz Grill
Years of visiting Whistler has taught me two things --One: even if you don't plan on going out on a Saturday night, expect to be woken up in the middle of the night by girls screaming and crying and guys acting like d-bags. And two: Splitz is the…More »
14. Sachi Sushi
I am generally hard on sushi places: they've got to be fresh, friendly, offer standard and interesting combinations of flavours and still be decent value.
For Whistler, Sachi is decent. If I were craving sushi and just had to have it, I would come…More »
