Restaurants of Whistler 2018

WELCOME

T H E R E S TA U R A N T S OF WHIS TLER BRITISH COLUMBIA

On behalf of the Restaurant Association of Whistler, we would like to welcome you to our home. We use the term “home” because the character of Whistler’s restaurants has been built on the genuine hospitality you would receive in any one of our homes.

Within the pages of this book you will find a comprehensive guide to Whistler’s legendary hospitality and diverse dining establishments. This warmth of reception is expressed in our sincere desire to offer our guests – who often become our friends – a unique and quality dining experience.

Whistler’s quaint traditions, passed down over the years, will charm you and bring you back for more.

Our year round resort offers countless adventures. Ski, ride, golf, hike, and shop to your heart’s content, pop into a cozy cafe or pub to refresh yourself, then end your day with a visit to the gym, spa, art gallery, or movie theatre. Don’t miss the vibrant après scene, where it’s a prerequisite to

socialize in your ski boots until the sun dips below the mountains. If you are a food-lover, you’ve come to the right place. Settle in for an unforgettable evening of sumptuous food and wine pairings, chat with your server about the local cuisine, and meet the chef who exquisitely prepared your meal.

Whistler’s distinctive selection of ethnic restaurants lets you experience some of the planet’s best creations from some of the finest chefs in a relaxed dining atmosphere.

Do take the time to speak with your host or server. Ask as many questions as you like and experience our passion firsthand. You will soon come to understand why we call Whistler home.

Whistler

YO UR W HIS T L ER DINING ADVENTURE BEGINS

Something happened in the early days of restaurants in Whistler—something about the mixing of haute cuisine and funky burgers, weekend warriors and local characters, red-checkered tablecloths and elegant wall sconces — that’s been distilled into the dining experience ever since.

If a restaurant is where you “restore” yourself, then Whistler’s first was Rainbow Lodge.

Guests had home-cooked meals included; those without lunches on the 1950s “picnic trains” could buy sandwiches on arrival.

After that, it was L’Après, opened in 1966 by Leo and Soula Katsuris to feed the workers building the first gondolas. Breakfast was 85 cents, and you might have run into Prime Minister Trudeau and family skiing.

With the ’70s came the start of the flurry: Rudy’s Mountain Holm Steakhouse served the finest flaming steaks; the Christiana Inn packed mountain lunches; the Cheakamus Inn offered a touch of Europe. The Keg was the first purpose-built restaurant and, oh, if those beams could talk. It was a hotbed of good food and sometimes wildly good times before the building became municipal hall.

The ’80s set the stage for Whistler’s main village with Stoney’s, The Gourmet Bakery and the iconic araxi.

Hungry customers never looked back.

Wherever you went, locals mingled with visitors in a dynamism fuelled by good food and good drink. That, happily, has been the passport to any great resort experience to this day.

WHISTLER’S TOAST TO SPAIN - BAR OSO Taking cocktail culture by storm, Bar Oso, Araxi Restaurant’s sisterproperty, is an ode to Spain.

Bar Oso – “oso” meaning “bear” in Spanish, an homage to Whistler’s wildlife – is open daily and offers a profusion of Spanish-influenced small plates including Iberico ham, bocadillos and pinxtos, housemade charcuterie, hand-crafted cocktails, and inspired wines. The long, convivial bar has become a popular meeting place.

Araxi’s renowned Restaurant Director Neil Henderson, along with Executive Chef James Walt, oversee all aspects of Bar Oso ensuring that Araxi’s long held international reputation for excellence in food, wine, and hospitality is extended and enjoyed by the guests of Bar Oso. Chef Jorge Muñoz Santos and Bar Manager Jason Redmond, both formerly part of the Araxi team, lead the day-to-day operations.

Bar Oso is located at #150 – 4222 Village Square. Further information can be found online at baroso.ca or by calling 604.962.4540.

Open daily from 11:30am – late.

IL CAMINETTO Debuting in Winter 2017, the re-imagined Il Caminetto will be Toptable Group’s third restaurant venue in Whistler.

The new concept, from Executive Chef James Walt's modern interpretation of the menu to the sleek Italian design of the room, brings a fresh, contemporary style of dining to the mountainside resort.

A FORK , A GL A SS, A TOUCH OF MAGIC ...

E XPERIENCE THE BE ARFOOT BIS TRO At the legendary Bearfoot Bistro, every night is a celebration of culinary excellence and extravagant joie de vivre. The festivities begin in the Champagne Lounge, where your crystal flute awaits in a cradle of illuminated ice. Indulge in our daily oyster selection at the bar or slip on a cozy Canada Goose parka for a frosty flight of vodka in the sub-zero Ketel One Ice Room, the first of its kind in Canada.

The evening reaches even greater heights of splendour in the elegant dining room with its showpiece open kitchen, where executive chef Melissa Craig dazzles the palate with her Canadian modern haute cuisine. Ms. Craig uses the best ingredients from local farmers and around the world to create outstanding dishes that are notable for their exquisite flavours, surprising textures and jaw-dropping originality.

Relax to the sound of resident jazz pianist Cameron Chu on the baby grand piano as our team of professionals guide you through your dining experience.

Founder André Saint-Jacques presides over the undeniably fun ambience of this award-winning restaurant. He holds the Guinness World Record for Champagne sabering (21 bottles in one minute) and would be delighted to give you a lesson in the must-see underground wine cellar with its 20,000 bottles.

Come summer, the action heats up outside on the Mediterranean-style patio. Decked out with a large bar and elegant outdoor furniture including sun beds and sofas to create a modern outdoor oasis to relax, it is the perfect spot to have a signature cocktail or to dine al fresco.

“A night at the Bearfoot Bistro is always memorable, often staggeringly so. But if the Bearfoot Bistro is simply the most polished version of the Whistler ethos of eating well, drinking quality, and making it to the lift on time, it’s André’s vision of adding fun and frolic that makes it a little slice of the heaven mountain-goers seek.”

The Restaurant Association of Whistler On behalf of our members, please allow us to introduce the Restaurant Association of Whistler. We are a registered non-profit organization, steered by a Board of Directors, representing the food-primary licensed dining establishments of the resort.

Our association was created in 2008 by the desire to provide our guests with a world class dining experience.

We are proud of our achievements to date. Notably, we successfully addressed the unique concerns of our members by working closely with the Resort Municipality of Whistler, the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Whistler and VANOC for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. We also support two community initiatives. The first is the annual RAW Memorial Cup Charity Golf Tournament. The second is awarding two separate scholarship funds (the Joel Thibault Scholarship and the Werner Schonberger Scholarship) to Whistler secondary school graduates who have worked in the local industry and are passionate to pursue a career in restaurant hospitality and the culinary arts.

Each of our members is offered the opportunity to showcase their restaurant in our annual Restaurant Association of Whistler coffee-table book. Our book is an accurate portrayal of the restaurant offerings in Whistler. The quality of this publication reflects that of its members, who are dedicated to creating the best possible experience for their guests. Each member of the association contributes to providing the

highest quality food, wine and service. The combined efforts from our dedicated staff and sponsorship partners help us achieve our mutual goal of providing the ultimate guest experience.

As one of the world’s most popular mountain resort destinations, Whistler welcomes visitors from around the globe to witness the breathtaking beauty of British Columbia’s Coastal Mountains.

We offer our guests a taste of home while they experience the buzz and excitement of local culture. Whistler has a wonderful selection of world cuisine, from take-out to fine dining.

For a taste of the local flair, there are restaurants specializing in steak, seafood and game, plus creative fusions found nowhere else. In addition to the endless array of delicious dishes, our guests can select from award-winning wine lists with international accolades the perfect wine to pair with their perfect meal.

It truly doesn’t get better than this.

“ Our mission is to represent a unified voice for Whistler restaurants in respect to marketing, purchasing, and community relations that is in the best interest of our members and guests.”

The Restaurant Association of Whistler (RAW) Hall of Fame recognizes members of our food and beverage community who have been pioneers, trailblazers and innovators within our beloved restaurant industry. We are delighted to honour Lawrence Black as our second inductee into the RAW Hall of Fame.

Lawrence came to Vancouver in 1984 with the objective of opening a restaurant with his buddy (no, not Wayne Katz, nor Miki Homma).

On December 4th, 1984 a 50cm day in Whistler enticed the young Mr. Black and his friend to head up to Whistler. After a spectacular day of skiing on Whistler Mountain, Lawrence skied out into the village and there in front of his eyes, like a beacon for those lost at sea, was a concrete slab with a lease sign on it. Love at first sight, the deal was sealed shortly after.

Photo: Nicole Madsen

The “Original Restaurante” was born and the plan, as most plans go in Whistler, was to run this restaurant for two years and then head back to Vancouver. Well, some things just don’t go according to plan.

When “The Original Restaurante” was opened on December 15th, 1985 all 2,300 Whistlerites came by to wish the young gentlemen success. It was this gesture that had a profound impact on Lawrence and he knew then Whistler was special.

Over the course of 32 years, Lawrence bought out his partners, purchased the space (1995), made Whistler home, changed the name to “Black’s Restaurant and Pub”, and has always remembered the gesture from the locals. He has and continues to give back to the community of Whistler in so many ways; whether gift certificates for fund raisers, sitting on boards such as Crime Stoppers, sponsoring local baseball and hockey teams or helping his employees with their career objectives, his contribution to this community is immeasurable.

Congratulations Lawrence, we could not have selected a more worthy individual as our second inductee into the Restaurant Hall of Fame.

The Restaurant Association of Whistler Proudly Supports our Bear Smart Community.

KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE AND BE ARS WILD IN WHIS TLER Whistler is located in prime black bear habitat, so whether you’re hiking in the Interpretive Forest or strolling through the Village, you may encounter a black bear. Seeing a bear can be a memorable experience of your Whistler vacation, but to protect yourself and keep bears wild, it is important to understand how to behave around them. This requires an understanding of bears and their behaviour as well as the role people play in creating conflicts.

BEING BE AR SMART There are many actions you can take to protect bears. Never feed a bear, either intentionally or unintentionally. Dispose of all garbage in a bear-proof container. In Whistler, it’s the law! Bear-proof containers are located throughout the village, municipal parks and along the Valley Trail.

Respect bears! Give them plenty of space and never approach them. No one should ever feed, pet or pose for a photo with a bear. Take pictures with a telephoto lens from a distance.

Always be alert and aware in bear country. Bears have a keen sense of smell and can detect the aroma of a barbecue or picnic from a considerable distance.

Drive defensively. Watch the sides of the road for wildlife attempting to cross.

Use extra caution at night; bears are dark animals and are very difficult to see in the dark, or even at dusk and dawn. NEVER stop to view or photograph wildlife along the highway. This stresses wildlife and creates unsafe road conditions due to traffic congestion.

Look for the Bear Smart Restaurant logo at participating restaurants. Help them celebrate their participation.
