This book is dedicated in loving memory to our dear friend
Pascal Tiphine ~ December 30, 1954 to November 22, 2013 ~
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.

SPI CE UP YO UR L IFE The Tandoori Grill, one of Whistler’s premier restaurants, has selected dishes that are most sumptuous as they were inspired by Great Indian Emperors and prepared to perfection by chefs of bygone eras. The Moghal Kings 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. From the Tandoor oven comes a parade of delicious creations, and the best way to sample these treats is to order a Mixed Grill, complete with chicken, fish, prawns, Seekh Kabobs and Lamb Tikka. 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 Royal 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 Tandoori Grill is a great place to spice up your life with delicious Tandoori dishes, or simply sample from our extensive wine list, also featuring the Best of Okanagan Wines and Indian Beers. The restaurant also features semi-private settings for large groups.

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 Joel Thibault Memorial Hospitality Cup, a golf tournament in aid of the Canadian Cancer Society. 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, and this representation has made a difference in the quality of Whistler’s restaurant experiences. 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.
The Restaurant Association of Whistler would like to thank our loyal employees for their dedication and support in making our said mission a reality. We also graciously acknowledge our sponsorship partners who work with us at all levels, from staff events
“
to local charities and promotions, and assist us in contributing to the greater good of the hospitality industry here in Whistler. Our combined efforts help us achieve our mutual goal of providing the ultimate guest experience.

KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE AND BE ARS WILD IN WHIS TLER Whistler is located in prime black bear habitat, so whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 www.bearsmart.com.
Jasmine and Jessie
BEING BE AR SMART There are many actions you can take to protect bears. Never feed a bear, either intentionally or unintentionally. All garbage must be disposed of in bear-proof containers. In Whistler, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the law! Bear-proof containers are located throughout the village, municipal parks and 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.
