WHISTLER EATERIES

Fine Dining & All the Other Guys

Eating is my specialty! What is great about the restaurants in Whistler is that there are very few places i wouldn't eat because people put a lot of passion into their cooking in this town. If you want a high end meal then you are in luck because all of the high end restaurants are worth going to. Really, it's up to your taste buds. Araxi, La Rua, Quattro, Bearfoot, Hy's and Bert's will all give you excellent service with a personal touch. I really like The South Side Diner for breakfast. Afternoon snacks have to go to Elements and The Mix. Citta's & Merlin's for Nachos & Beer. I've never had bad sushi anywhere in Whistler, but Sachi, Sushi Village and Sushi To Go seem to be where I frequent. I hate to name restaurants because there are so many great ones here. Suffice to say, if you tell your concierge what you're craving, you should follow their recommendation! - Laura D. Whistler local for 10 years

BREAKFAST SPOTS

Wildwood
We suggest going to The Wildwood! Why? Because the service is great and they offer fresh hand cut par-boiled potatoes pan finished, not pre-frozen and deep fried like at Amsterdam. Although Amsterdam is a great location located in the heart of the village great for people watching, the price/value/quality component cannot even compete with Wildwood. We love the Eggs Benedict and banana bread French toast! The portions are massive, if you prefer to eat a lighter breakfast, try the yogurt with granola and fruit or share the bennies; it's plenty for two! Breakfast..if you're hung over gotta be the Wildwood.

The South Side Diner
Another breakfast cafe favorite is The Southside Diner located across from the Husky Gas Station in Creekside. The establishment was built in the late 80's and is essentially a landmark in Whistler. If you're looking for the best place to go, especially after a great night out, this is it. Because of its popularity and renown as the local's breakfast place, expect a small wait for your breakfast during the weekends! The brie-cheese stuffed French toast with REAL Canadian Maple syrup is worth the wait! Join the locals in a delicious breakfast and enjoy the decor featuring pictures from the glory days.

Or looking to just grab a coffee? My fave place to have cofee with friends would be Behind the Grind on a sunny day. Rainy days would go to 2cup or starbucks (the old Roots location).

LATE NIGHT MUNCHIES

Need to satisfy late night munchies after a great night out? Here are a few places open till the wee hours of the morning:

Zog's
For late night eating I find there's nothing more tempting than a Zogs Poutine. There's a reason why you only order these when you've had one to many, cheese curds, gravy and french fries. Snap! A true heart stopper.

Four 'n Twenty
Dominos Pizza
Daily Slice Pizza
