3 Best Restaurants in Whistler, British Columbia

Although it's atop Whistler Mountain, you're likely to see as many non-skiers as skiers in the crowd dining here. That's because Steeps Grill & Wine Bar is located inside the enormous Roundhouse Lodge at the top of Whistler Village Gondola, and lots of the visitors are simply sightseers. While other mountain dining outlets tend to cater to the grab-and-go crowd, this venue is a stay-a-while, full-service dining affair offering lots of west coast favorites like smoked salmon chowder and sockeye salmon and succotash.

Located inside the Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre, The Raven Room is not your average hotel eatery: it’s privately owned by four renowned Whistler restaurateurs. The menu consists of both small plates (tapas) and larger mains and is sure to satisfy everyone, from carnivores to vegans. The burrata with pistachios, honey, and grilled ciabatta is a must. They also have a very innovative cocktail menu that uses fresh, local ingredients. And a cute tucked away patio, too.

A trip to Wild Blue is a real treat. The fine-dining restaurant's speciality is sustainable seafood dishes, alongside an extensive wine and cocktail list. Appetizer options include oysters, caviar and chilled seafood towers. As for the entree menu, look for the sablefish with turnip, radish, sesame crisp and roasted fish bone sauce or the halibut T-bone with porcini spice, morel mushrooms, and onion brodo.
