1. Crystal Hut
By far the best restaurant on the mountain and maybe one of the best in Whistler all together. Really, I should say, the best dish in Whistler. The Crystal is a small 'hut' (think log cabin) at the top of the Crystal Chair. It's always warm and…More »
2. Splitz Grill
When people ask me where the best food is in Whistler they expect me to say some classy place like 21 Steps, Araxi, etc. But no. Those places are nice, but the best food by far is Splitz. The Spicy Lentil Burger with all the fixings, fries and a…More »
3. Gone Bakery
I love this place. Located in Armchair books, Gone is owned by the same people as Moguls...which is weird since it's about ten feet from door to door. Although I think the coffee is better at Moguls, the food is great here. They always have great…More »
4. Nesters Market & Pharmacy
Screw the IGA, Nester's is where its at. This is the local market and has much better prices. I was able to host an American Thanksgiving while I was living in Whistler for $12 a person. It would have cost a lot more if I went to the alternative…More »
5. Pita Etc
I loved this place. It was located in the middle of the village. It had great pitas and pasta bowls. Fresh, unlimited toppings galore. A comfy couch on one wall, counter on the other. Awesome music.
It was a favorite spot. A truly crushing blow came…More »
6. Merlin's Bar & Grill
The best part of working at The Wizard Grill was being connected to Merlin's. Is it the nicest spot in Whistler? No. Is it the best place for relaxed apres with friends after a hard day of riding? Yes.
The nachos alone make this a place to go. $20 may…More »
7. Glacier Creek Lodge
I was so angry. It wasn't until half the season was over with that a friend of mine took me to Glacier Creek. Before then i had just eaten at Rendezvous. It's not that I didn't pass Glacier Creek the multiple times a day I would take the Jersey lift…More »
8. Avalanche Pizza
If a quick slice of pizza is what you're after, you can't go wrong with Avalanche. Slightly tucked away, it's easy to find if you just follow your nose. The smell of the fresh ingredients and delicious crust baking in the oven will lead you to this…More »
9. Essentially Blackcomb
Essentially Blackcomb Coffee Bar offers one little item that separates it from the pack: Happy Planet Smoothies. If you've never had a Happy Planet, just think of your life as incomplete. For those in the states, think Happy Planet is like the Naked…More »
10. Portobello Restaurant
When I couldn't take mountain food one more instant I would forgo my $12 eating allowance and walk across the street to Portobellos. The mac n' cheese is out of this world. The sandwiches, salads and soups were always fresh and delicious. I never…More »
11. Wildflower Restaurant
Whistler, BC V0N 1B4
Canada
(604) 938-2033
Four words: Chocolate Fondue for Two. Don't let the name fool you, this bad boy easily satisfies the sweet teeth of at least four people. At $20, this is actually a real deal as it comes with a wide assortment of items to deep into chocolate. I tell…More »
12. Zogs Dogs
After a night of dancing there was nothing I would look forward to more than a veggie dog and fries at Zogs. Open late and run by the always charming (laugh) Canadiennes, Zogs was never the best but it was always there. I stayed away from the…More »
13. Great Glass Elevator Candy Shop
You will never spend more money on candy in your life. It's so overpriced its not even funny. That said, where else are you going to get your British fix? I am from the States so I blame my jonsing on my Scottish roommate. I have purposely forgotten…More »
14. The Beet Root Cafe
Cozy and delicious. Beet Root is great for breakfast or lunch. On especially lazy days I would go grab a book at the library and head on over to the Beet Root. The sandwiches were basic but divine. I especially liked the one with brie and pears and a…More »
15. Horstman Hut
Being so small, the Horstman's food selection is limited to chili, soup, and burgers when the weather's nice. The food really isn't why you go to Horstman though. On those bright, clear winter days, there is not a better vista in the world. Standing…More »
16. Moguls Coffee House
By far the best consistent coffee in Whistler. This place is great to go to get a delicious tofu wrap and a descent Chai. The joy I experience when seeing that the baristas actually knew how to properly steam milk (it's not that hard other…More »
17. BBK's Pub
With a tag line of "BC's Smallest Pub," this tiny pub doesn't skimp on quality. A great selection of wine along with the regular bar drinks. BBK's definitely draws an older crowd (35+) than the average Whistler haunt. My friend and I always thought…More »
18. Black's Pub & Restaurant
Black's is another good Apres bar. Great sweet potato fries. Between three friends we got two orders once. You can get cheaper beer in Whistler, but being stumbling distance from the Excalibur gondola, you can't beat the view.
If you're over 19, and…More »
19. Thai One On
The food is more three-and-a-half stars, the drinks are an easy five.
I love Thai Food. This isn't quite Thai food (and I know because my friend told me who lived in Thailand). That being said, we I needed a Pad Thai fix, I would walk the five feet…More »
20. Boston Pizza
I know I shouldn't like Boston Pizza. I know I should see it as just another chain moving in on Whistler. I should support the small businesses that are still prolific in Whistler and shun this monster. But I can't. I love this place. Cheap, fatty…More »
21. Ingrid's Village Cafe
Located in the Village Square, Ingrid's provides an unassuming breakfast that delights the senses. Basic eggs and toast are somehow transformed into the pinochle of comfort food. After a hard night of partying and before a hard day of tearing up the…More »
22. Sushi Village
Although Pricey, Sushi Nillage is the *nicest* place for sushi in the village. Across from the base of Whister, Sushi Village's decor is a hybrid of western and eastern. For larger parties there are tables in back that almost look like tradition…More »
23. Behind the Grind Cafe
Whistler, BC V0N 1B4
Canada
(604) 905-6621
Behind the Grind is the closest thing Whistler has to a hippie coffee house. It could as easily (probably more so) have popped up in Santa Cruz as catty-corner to the Whistler gondola. You're going to pay a little more for the coffee and coffee house…More »
24. The Southside Diner
The only real diner in Whistler, Southside offers your normal fare. From hotcakes to chicken dinners, everyone will be satisfied at the diner that's across the street from Creekside. My friend got a steak there (it may have been a special?) and…More »
25. Crepe Montagne
Whenever I was feeling like treating myself to something special I would go to Crepe Montagne and get a chocolate and strawberry crepe. I have had a lot of crepes in my time, and these were superb. A good texture - not too thin that the crepe falls…More »
26. Cinnamon Bear Bar
This is by far the best lounge in Whistler. Filled with more locals than tourists - strange for a hotel bar - the bar offers great nightly drink and food specials that entice the biggest penny pinchers to come out for a drink or five. During hockey…More »
27. Dusty's Bar & BBQ
Go for the potato wedges and award winning burgers, stay for the Creekside craziness and jugs of Kokanee.
I should really write slogans for a living.
This is the place to start when doing your duel mountain pub crawl. Get some fantastic french toast…More »
28. Amsterdam Cafe
This is the place you go at the end of the fortnight when money's tight and you still want to get your drink on. $10 pitchers of their house brew is the best deal in Whistler when there isn't a Canucks game on. It's located right in Village Square…More »
29. Starbucks Coffee Company
One of three (four?) Starbucks in Whistler, Starbucks is Starbucks. You know what you're getting. The only reason Starbucks in Whistler have any use is that they are the ONLY place in Whistler where you can get newly released CDs. I almost cried when…More »
30. Citta
Whistler, BC V0N 1B4
Canada
(604) 932-4177
Categories:
Bars,
Italian,
Canadian (New)
Cittas is mediocre. It's in prime Village Stroll location so it's always packed. The upstairs eating area is ok, although if you're on the Village Square side it can get a bit cramped. The patio is far from being the best patio in Whistler, but is…More »
31. Longhorn
The ultimate Apres place, Longhorn can be quite fun after a long day of shredding the slopes. The patio is massive and has great views of the bottom of Whistler. Make sure to check out the drink special board as there is something good every night of…More »
32. Crystal Lounge
This was the go-to bar for most of my friends. They loved it. The drink specials, karaoke nights and $.10 hot wing days.
They loved it. I didn't. I think it smells like the pool that is just out the door. It's dank and fills up to the point of not…More »
33. Raven's Nest
For some reason, I never have a hard time finding a seat. I've never tried the food, although it's the same as all the other places. It's a good place to take a break and drink a beer.
34. Brewhouse at Whistler
I was never enchanted with Brewhouse. The food is basically on par with Chili's. I felt the brews were hit or miss. I did enjoy their beer sampler.
I would recommend the brewery tours to those who need a break from skiing. The tour days and time can…More »
35. Garibaldi Lift Company
This is by far my least favorite of the three mountain bars (Merlin's, Dusy's and the GLC). The waitstaff was always rude, the food was unimaginative and it was always infested with tourists. The best part of the place by far is the small patio to…More »
36. Dubh Linn Gate
I'm actually a little shocked with all the reviews already posted for Dubh Linn Gate. This place notoriously sells the most expensive pint in Whistler ($8 for a Guinness). The food is average, although my friends complained that the meat pie tasted…More »
37. Chic Pea
This place is small, only opened during peak season and did I mention small? The patio is nice. But, did I mention how small and cramped the Chic Pea is? I guess it's supposed to be a little nicer than other places, but I don't see it.
38. Marketplace Iga
I begrudgingly went to IGA much more often than I would have liked. The layout doesn't make any sense whatsoever, the produce is hit-or-miss, the people working there could care less about you and the prices were really high for the things you…More »
39. McDonald's Restaurant
It's McDonald's. It's cheap. It taste the same here as it does in France and China. The only time I would go to this place was when I was tired and needed a cheap cup of coffee when all the other coffee shops were closed. It's fine coffee. I guess.
I…More »
40. Rendezvous
Think Roundhouse on Blackcomb. It's big, it gets super crowded, the food's the same as everywhere else, plus the staff here seems to be considerably ruder than every other restaurant season after season. The entire place also just looks rundown.
Of…More »
