Whistler

YO U R W H I S T L ER D I N I N G A D V EN T U R E B EG I N S

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.

Steak & Guinness Pie ~ Angus beef, fresh vegetables and mushrooms in a rich Guinness gravy, baked under pie pastry

the heart of Dublin, Ireland. Located near St. James Brewery, where Guinness originates, these dark waters are said to be the inspiration for Arthur Guinness’ perfect pint since 1759.

Fast-forward to 1997, and the Dubh Linn Gate Pub was designed, crafted, and transported piece by piece across the pond to the Pan Pacific Whistler in beautiful British Columbia.

Yes, Guinness may have been born in Ireland, but its Irish spirit is alive and well at Dubh Linn Gate Pub. Here you’ll find plenty of charming people eager to meet you, some spirited live music, 24 draught taps pouring deliciously fresh Imperial pints, and authentic Irish fare to fill the belly and soothe the soul. It’s a lovely day for a Guinness after all.

Whistler’s best live music takes the stage 7 nights a week in the summer and winter.

Late afternoon sets December through April make us a favorite spot for après ski.

Fish & Chips ~ Blue Buck battered Pacific cod served with chips, coleslaw and house made tartar sauce Falafel ~ House made falafel, hamma ganoush, lettuce, tahini and Israeli salad wrapped in naan bread Cajun Chicken Sandwich ~ Schnitzelstyle chicken breast topped with pickles, coleslaw, red onion and cajun remoulade

“Once upon a time, there was a majestic mountain on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. When the snow came, a gentle wind would blow, whistling through the trees. The people who lived here grew to love this familiar, comforting sound and named their home Whistler. Kaze is the Japanese word for wind.”

EP I C F O O D . EP I C PA R T Y. EP I C H I S TO R Y. Sushi Village, located in Whistler Village, is about as famous in some circles as the worldclass ski resort itself. Known for its casual yet vibrant atmosphere, terrific sushi, and legendary sake margaritas, Sushi Village is as much a social experience as it is a dining one.

In 1984, Mikito “Miki” Homma, and his two friends arrived in the now-famous ski resort when it was little more than a collection of chairlifts and a conceptual pedestrian village.

Miki and his friends fell in love with the snow and character of the town and in 1985 opened Sushi Village, Whistler’s first Japanese restaurant and one of the original six restaurants in Whistler Village. After 34 years, visitors and locals alike repeatedly make the trip to what has become an icon of the Whistler social scene.

There is something for everyone at Sushi Village. The diverse menu offers a range of Japanese cuisine to please everyone’s tastes, including expertly creating sushi, crispy tempura, traditional hot grilled dishes and the finest quality sashimi all enjoyed with cold sake or Japanese beer.

Located in the heart of Whistler, Sushi Village is steps away from the Blackcomb and Whistler gondolas (located directly above Showcase Snowboards, on the second floor of the Sundial Hotel).

Soft Shell Crab Karaage ~ deep fried soft shell crab served with a ponzu sauce Spicy Agedashi Tofu ~ deep fried tofu and fresh shiitake mushrooms with our legendary spicy sauce Black Cod Saikyoyaki ~ black cod marinated with our homemade saikyo miso Box Sushi ~ salmon, shrimp, scallop, avocado, and thinly sliced lemon, shaped into an Osaka style box Double Hawaiian Roll ~ Hawaiian tuna, crunchy tempura bits, cucumber draped in thinly sliced Hawaiian tuna Rainbow Roll ~ chef’s choice of the day, seven different kinds of fish rolled outside, ebi tempura in the centre with a soya bean sheet Super-Hiro Roll ~ a twist of the spicy tuna roll.

“A local’s joint since 1985! The most fun you can have in Whistler starts here with Sushi, Sake and simply delicious fresh food.” – Vancouver Magazine

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.

“ 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 the following...

4 This year, two of our very own leaders have been recognized and inducted into the British Columbia Restaurant & Food Service Association Hall of Fame as 'Local Champions'. Congratulations Karen and RD! K AREN ROL AND & RD STE WART Red Door Bistro Karen Roland arrived in Whistler in 1988 for a ski season, but 35 years later, she owns a pub, bistro, and liquor store. She began working for Ron 'Hoz' Hosner in 1993, starting as a waitress, bartender and assisting with bookkeeping. In 2007 when the pub went up for sale she convinced her parents of this once in a lifetime opportunity and took over ownership in 2008. After five years as owner of this pub she was seeking a change in the format of the dining experience, Karen partnered with RD Stewart in 2013 to create the successful Red Door Bistro.

RD Stewart, a graduate of George Brown Hospitality and Culinary College, began his culinary journey in Whistler with stages at iconic restaurants like Trattoria and Il Caminetto di Umberto. He honed his skills at La Rua Restaurante, later working at Okanagan wineries like Quail's Gate, Nk'mip, and Burrowing Owl. Returning to Whistler, he became the Executive Sous Chef at Araxi before opening the Red Door Bistro in 2013, offering a blend of West Coast and French-inspired cuisine with a focus on local ingredients.

MIKITO "MIKI" HOMMA 2023 Inductee The word "legend" gets overused these days especially in Whistler, but in the case of Miki, the title is fitting, in every sense of the word.

He opened Sushi Village Restaurant in 1985. Whistler was a developing ski resort in those days (there were only 5 other restaurants here, at xthat time!) but Miki instantly fell in love with the vibe, the people and beautiful mountains. Miki had a flare for hospitality that was infectious. He was proud of his Japanese culture and food, always eager to share it with his friends, guests and he LOVED to party!

Miki will be remembered for his wild laugh, his unique style, his crazy sense of humour, his generosity to this community and for providing all of us with this iconic restaurant which has been loved for over 30 years.

Kanpai!

The Restaurant Association of Whistler is proud to call The Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club the home course for our annual Memorial Cup Charity Golf Tournament. Carved out of the slopes of the Coast Mountain range in British Columbia, this magnificent Robert Trent Jones, Jr. masterpiece will navigate you through stunning mountain vistas, granite rock faces, stands of ancient Douglas fir, waterfalls and wildlife, creating an unforgettable golf experience.

Our biggest fundraising effort occurs each summer in the form of the RAW Memorial Cup Charity Golf Tournament where we celebrate the passion for life exhibited by our lost, long time local hospitality heroes Joel Thibault, Pascal Tiphine, Cal Schacter, Mikita Homma, Jeff Morgan and others who have contributed greatly to the food and beverage industry throughout the years.

The day starts with oysters and bubbles followed by tasting stations along the course and topped off with a delicious dinner on the Chateau's Rooftop Terrace; all the while, plenty of opportunities to bid on our auction items. Going into its nineteenth year, our goal is to continue raising money to support local charities. Since our initial event we've raised over $350,000 allowing us the ability to give back to our community.

Our beneficiaries include: Whistler Community Services Society (WCSS) BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF) Families Fighting Cancer in the Sea to Sky Corridor (FFCSS) Zero Ceiling Scholarships for Whistler High School students pursuing careers in restaurant hospitality & the culinary arts.

Visit the RAW website for details on how you can help support a great cause, an important industry and participate in the Restaurant Association of Whistler’s Memorial Cup Charity Golf Tournament.
