Whistler restaurants & bars

Whistler’s reputation as an international resort is reflected in the variety of cuisine on offer at over 90 restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets with a choice of sushi, Chinese, Italian, Greek, French, and North American restaurants plus many cafés and coffee shops. There are well-stocked supermarkets for the self-caterers

For late night revelers there is plenty of action with a number of fashionable bars, discos, and nightclubs playing a variety of good music, such as Garfinkel’s, Down Under, Moe Joe’s, Savage Beagle, and Tommy Africa’s.

Visitors from outside North America especially will need to get acquainted with the local liquor laws. In Whistler-Blackcomb you have to be 19 to consume alcohol and young children cannot accompany their parents in most bars. Compared to Europe this is one of the few downsides to a family skiing holiday in Whistler-Blackcomb, but the nature of the restrictions vary according to the exact nature of the establishment’s license.
