Dusty's Bar & BBQ in Creekside for legendary pulled pork and craft beer après
THE FOOD SCENE
Whistler's dining scene is world-class, with over 200 restaurants. Fine dining at Araxi Restaurant, Wild Blue, and Bearfoot Bistro rivals any major city. For casual fare, Sushi Village and Handlebar Cafe are local institutions. On-mountain, Christine's on Blackcomb and the Roundhouse Lodge offer quality meals with incredible views.
Don't miss the Whistler Farmers Market (seasonal) and the thriving food truck scene in summer and winter.
APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE
The GLC (Garibaldi Lift Company) at the base of Whistler is the quintessential après bar with a massive sun deck. Merlin's Bar at Blackcomb base and the Longhorn Saloon in the Village are also legendary. For a more refined experience, the Bearfoot Bistro's champagne lounge and vodka ice room offer a unique twist on après-ski.

Christine's on Blackcomb
Rendezvous Lodge, top of Blackcomb Gondola
Christine’s is a full-service lunch restaurant at 1,860 metres with panoramic views, locally sourced mountain-comfort dishes, and a diverse wine list.
Why We Like It
The on-mountain location is the experience, but access requires a valid ski or sightseeing ticket or pass; the resort lists daily lunch service for Nov. 20, 2026–Apr. 18, 2027.
