Southside Diner

Copy Link
If you're staying Creekside this is one of the best budget options around. Service can be hit and miss but for diner basics (as well as hedonistic combos like Baileys and Cornflakes) the Southside can't be beaten.

Rim Rock Cafe

Copy Link
A Whistler institution and the usual answer to the question, "If someone came into town, where would I want them to take me?" Specialising in game and fish, maybe not one for vegetarians.

Grill & Vine

Bearfoot Bistro

Copy Link
The quintessential Whistler experience: whether you're there to enjoy Chef Melissa Craig's pitch-perfect locavore menus with the Bearfoot's legendary service or learn to saber Champagne with irrepressible host André Saint-Jacques in the wine cellar. Also home to the Belvedere ice room so you can toss back vodka while snugly dressed in a parka.

(604) 932-1133
(604) 932-1133

The local's place for plentiful and reasonably priced brunch with delicious Caesars and innovative benedicts. Tucked away in the Whistler Racquet Club, this is well worth the possibility of getting a little lost to find this gem.
