3 Best Restaurants in Whistler, British Columbia

La Brasserie

$$

"The Brass," as it's known, has one of the area's best patios, situated in the square where people-watching is as entertaining as the street performers and free concerts. Get well-priced bistro fare, from burgers to steaks. It opens for breakfast with an assortment of egg dishes and keeps going until the après-ski crowd finally departs. As popular as this place is, tables turn over quickly so getting a seat doesn't take long.

Sushi Village

$$
If you don't equate sushi with social buzz, then you haven't been to this perennial Whistler hot spot, which offers everything from après-ski to late-night dining. The chef's choice sashimi is a favorite, as are the dozen different house special rolls, including one tasty combination of shrimp tempura, avocado, scallops, and salmon. There are also teriyaki dinners and hot pots served family-style as well as a gluten-free menu. Phoning ahead for take-out orders lets you jump the line.

Thunderbird Cafe

$$

Located inside the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, this cozy café serves contemporary food with a First Nations twist—think venison chili, bannock tacos, fish chowder, or smoked salmon panini. You don't need to purchase admission to the museum to access the eatery (but we do recommend checking it out!). It's also located next to the gift shop, so after your meal you can take a stroll through the store.
