Whistler cuisine takes on a common theme, small town feel and quality, with gourmet charm. With easy access to fresh-farmed ingredients and west coast seafood only a short drive down the road, Whistler has made a name for themselves as more than a ski resort. Their passion for luring foodies into the hills with a siren-song of wine and culinary prowess is only growing.
Here’s a Foodie Tour of Whistler taking you from breakfast all the way down through after dinner cocktails.

Breakfast: Wild Wood Bistro & Bar

One word…Benny! With over 10 varieties of eggs Benedict, it should come as no surprise that they have held the hallowed position of Best Breakfast in Whistler since 2002 with little sign of getting knocked off that pedestal any time soon. Not a Benny fan? That’s okay, their menu is stacked with enough options to appease any palette. Did I mention Pulled Pork French Toast? Well then, consider this the perfect way to start your day.
