Whistler may be known for its winter mountain sports, and as one of the premiere mountain bike destinations in the summer, but it is also home to extraordinary cuisine, world-class shopping, and a great art & culture scene.
Dining in Whistler
From Fast Food to Fine Dining – Whistler Offers Something For Everyone!
Whistler’s reputation as a truly international resort is reflected in its variety of cuisine. More than 80 restaurants throughout the Resort serve up everything from rack of lamb and spicy Thai cuisine to sushi and traditional North American fare. Whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, guests can choose from casual pub meals to formal dining, from cozy bistros to family restaurants. And both mountains offer gourmet mountain top dining, from hearty early morning breakfasts to special evening functions and themed events.
When the sun goes down the options are still wide open. An evening amble under the stars. A pint of lager in a cozy pub. Popcorn at the movies. The flip side of Whistler Resort is all about winding down the way you like to. Whether it be a romantic candlelight dinner, casual conversation in an intimate lounge, or dancing in a high-energy night club, Whistler has something for everyone. And, of course, a bubbling hot tub awaits at the end of the day.
World-Class Shopping
From traditional souvenirs to fine jewelry and quality sportswear
Located in the plazas of Whistler Village, Upper Village, and Village North, the shops and boutiques of Whistler are open seven days a week. Native artwork, locally made jewelry, high fashion apparel and souvenir gifts are some of the items available at more than 150 shops in the Resort.
Culture
