Whistler — Food and drink

Great nightlife, lots of bars and clubs and over 90 restaurants to choose from! Eating out is a big part of the ski experience in North America. Most accommodation is sold ‘room only’ for this reason.

 

Eat in resort and on the hill

There are 90 restaurants offering everything from burgers and steaks to Thai, Italian, Greek and Indian dishes. The proximity to the sea ensures plenty of fish dishes. The local specialities include Pacific Salmon and Vancouver Island Oysters. There are numerous places to eat on a budget. Most of the eateries in Whistler compare well in value to their European counterparts. The mountain restaurants all resemble canteens and deserve no further mention!

 

Nightlife in Whistler

The nightlife in Whistler is legendary. There are numerous bars at the foot of the slopes that are lively from mid-afternoon onwards. Most people stay out and go straight to dinner, such is the informal dress code here. If you still have the energy there is a vibrant music scene in Whistler. Famous DJs and live music acts performing the resorts's clubs and bars regularly.
