This is my recommendation for a big splurge night out. Chef Melissa Craig is one of Canada’s top chefs. She won gold in the Canadian Culinary Championships of Canada in 2008. The food is top notch here. You can sabre a bottle of bubbles in the 20,000 bottle cellar, shoot vodka in the ice-room or have ice cream made from scratch with liquid nitrogen tableside.

This place is also considered one of Whistlers’ best. This is what you would think of a classic “mountain town” cuisine. They always have a great selection of seafood and game, the setting is cozy and the service is professional but not stuffy.

Has been in Whistler for many years, but was recently taken over by new management. The owner is a long time Whistler local, Jay Pare and his nephew James.
