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.
“Having grown up in Madrid with a love of Spanish cooking, I’ve embraced my roots to showcase the robust tastes and flavours on the Bar Oso menu,” says Chef Jorge Muñoz Santos. “Our tapas-style dishes represent the soul of Spain and the sharing of plates between family and friends.”

The festivities begin in the Champagne Lounge, where your crystal flute awaits in a cradle of illuminated ice. Dive into our daily special at the oyster 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.

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. Whatever the season, the Bearfoot Bistro is the ultimate Whistler experience.
“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.”

chefs of bygone eras. The Moghals who brought renaissance and enrichment to Indian culture favoured the technique of cooking in a Tandoor clay oven. A replica is displayed at our entrance.

Nan (Tandoori bread) is baked vertically in the Tandoor. You will become a fan of stuffed nan such as Spinach Nan, stuffed with Indian cheese and spinach. The selection of heavenly spices which favours Indian cooking creates heavy hits of flavour at every turn. No wonder that ginger and turmeric, the special ingredients of Indian cooking, are known as a healing power.

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) launched their Hall of Fame with renowned legendary local restaurateur Mario Enero as the first inductee. “This annual celebration will honour members of our food and beverage community that have been pioneers, trailblazers and innovators within our beloved restaurant industry. As our first recipient, Mario Enero exemplifies all of those qualities and more. He took a chance on a young and unproven little ski town over 20 years ago and managed to create two amazing establishments with La Rua and Caramba. His warm and charming demeanor matched the flair, style and genuine hospitality of both his locations. We could not be more proud, or more delighted, to honour Mario as our very first inductee into the RAW Hall of Fame,” Amy Huddle, president of the Restaurant Association of Whistler

The Restaurant Association of Whistler Hall of Fame was established to give recognition to individuals in the hospitality industry who have made significant contributions to the Whistler restaurant community. Enero, a former Spanish bullfighter with a passion for both hospitality and fine cuisine, has been at the forefront of British Columbia’s elite dining scene for some 35 years. Enero’s global sensibilities and enduring yet unpretentious style inspired a distinctive brand of culinary fusion. In the words of Keeley Higgins, former manager of La Rua and Caramba, “Good food, good service, good people…Mario is a patriarch in Whistler’s culinary and hospitality scene because of simple principles and a gift for sharing his experience and passion with the community and those who work with him.”
The BCHF enjoys the support of the Restaurant Association of Whistler (RAW). Working together the profile of the Foundation’s activities in the Whistler area has been heightened.

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. Visit bearsmart.com.
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.
