Whistler
YO U R W H I S T L E R 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.

E P I C F O O D . E P I C PA R T Y. E P I C H I S T O 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).

“ 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... 0 Chef Pascal Tiphine, one of Whistler's original restaurateurs, wasn't one for fancy sauces or sparse Parisian cuisine. Rather, his food was "country-French" — the kind of hearty, wholesome fare right from the land, the kind of food that makes you feel replete. It was just like the chef himself — downto-earth, honest, authentic. For more than three decades, Tiphine was a key figure in Whistler's restaurant scene, seeing it grow and having a role in taking it from its nascent beginnings through the commercial boom to a worldclass food destination. The first restaurant he opened was Madame’s Bistro, followed by Sundial Restaurant, Les Deux Gros and finally Les Gros. "He was always welcoming, social, making sure everybody was comfortable and well served," said friend Bob Barnett. "And he liked to have fun.”
Born in France November 18, 1943 Joel Thibault immigrated to Vancouver in 1966. He mastered his craft as a restaurateur in Chamonix, the French Riviera, the William Tell Restaurant, Le Creperie, Umberto's La Galleria in Seattle, Chez Joel's in Vancouver and Whistler and his latest venture Bavaria Restaurant. Joel had a unique way of making everyone he met feel special. Before he moved to Whistler in 1985, Thibault had a go at growing grapes and making wine in the Okanagan from 1983 to 1985. "It didn’t go as I expected. I decided to go back to Whistler to do what I do best, and that’s manage restaurants.” Chez Joel in Gastown was doing just fine at the time. Still, his heart was in the mountains, and as a veteran of European ski resorts, he saw the potential that Whistler offered. "With my experience in the Alps, I could see what was going on in Whistler as it was becoming a super resort, and of course, loving the mountain life, I wanted to be involved with that," said Thibault.
Our 2020 recipient will be announced at the RAW Memorial Cup Charity Golf Tournament in June.

The Restaurant Association is proud to have the support of our three local world class golf courses; Nicklaus North Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus designed course; The Fairmont Chateau Whistler, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, and the Arnold Palmer designed Whistler Golf Course. 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, Mikito Homma 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; all the while, plenty of opportunities to bid on our auction items. Going into its fourteenth year, our goal is to continue raising money to support local charities. Since our initial event we've raised over $250,000 allowing us the ability to give back to our community. Our 2019 beneficiaries include: Whistler Community Services Society (WCSS) BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF) Families Fighting Cancer in the Sea to Sky Corridor (FFCSS) Scholarships for Whistler High School students pursuing careers in restaurant hospitality & the culinary arts. Join us June 24th, 2020 to support a great cause, an important industry, and a fantastic event - the Restaurant Association of Whistlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Cup Charity Golf Tournament.

This requires an understanding of bears and their behaviour as well as the role people play in creating conflicts. Visit bearsmart.com.
BEING BEAR SMART
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
