Awesome tour and a great way to experience the culinary or gastronomical side of Whistler.  I wonder why we don't have something like this set up in Vancouver yet.   The Bearfoot Bistro option was a hit.  We went for a bachelorette party and they…More »

Came here for a bachelorette party as a part of Whistler Tasting Tours.  The appies here were of superb quality.  Really, the best of the bunch.  Plus, they let our bride-to-be saber a sparkling wine bottle! Awesome attention to detail and to us.  I…More »

One of the more budget friendly options in Whistler.   It's a cool, underground restaurant-pub.  The burger here is quite nice. And it comes with everything you want.  From what I heard from others at the table, the pot pie was really nice and so is…More »

Oh the pizza is so good for "by the slice"! It was quite reminiscent of Pie-R-Squared at UBC http://www.yelp.ca/biz....  But much more expensive at $4 per slice.

We came here for appies and wine pairing as a part of Whistler Tasting Tours and the teriyaki steak bites were cooked to perfection.  The steak was still tender, not chewy.  The pan seared ahi tuna was quite nice as well.  I think it was…More »

Quattro was okay.  I am not the biggest fan of their Quattro chicken and bean pasta. It's just simply, okay. However, the staff here was great. The wine pairing was decent. And the bread was amazing! I could have eaten that stuff all evening.

I like the idea of this cafe.  And the prices are pretty cheap for a sit down place in Whistler.  However, it wasn't my favorite meal.  I ordered the eggs benny which came with hashbrowns.  Hashbrowns = 5 tiny tiny McD's style potato patties. And my…More »

Delicious Winter Ale on tap from Granville Island and yummy fries! Though the pub was quite packed, we managed to get a table and watch the women's moguls and Jenn Heil get silver.  The biggest downfall was food because we were there for a long time…More »

Wow, this pizza was delicious!  I love my crust and they had just enough of it.  It's great for "by the slice" pizza!  However, it's expensive at $4 per slice. But that's Whistler for you.

Decent cup of hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day in Whistler.  I wish they hadn't run out of all or most of their bakery items. Would have loved a chocolate croissant or a brownie.  But their cinnamon sticks were pretty good.

Great view, amazing mountains.  I love the Peak to Peak! It's a shame it's not sunny and clear more often. But then I guess it wouldn't have as much snow for the winter sports.
