Whistler Restaurant & Dining Guide

I've put together what I think is, "The Best Dining Guide for Whistler".

If you are able to open my spreadsheet (whistler-restaurants.xlsx) you will be able to see all the different restaurants and pubs in Whistler. If you cannot view the spreadsheet above, I have attached photos below. If you are good with Excel and really want to plan out your holiday because you don't have much vacation time, you can play with the spreadsheet to narrow down your options. I've tried to do this for you by having different sheets that contain the same restaurants and pubs, they are just sorted differently.

For example, if you know the type of cuisine you want to eat, then you would go to the "Cuisine" sheet in the above spreadsheet (I have also attached this sheet below for those that cannot open the spreadsheet in Excel). If you wanted to eat "Steak/Seafood" you would scan down to this area of the chart. If you know your price range you would look at the "Price" field. If you wanted the best (most expensive), you would either go for "Hy's Steakhouse" or "Rim Rock Cafe". And if you were staying in the main Whistler Village and you didn't want to travel to Creekside, then you probably want to go the "Hy's Steakhouse". If you wanted to try the "Rim Rock Cafe" in Creekside you could always arrange transportation to Whistler Creekside through Alpine North Limousine.

It's a similar process for the other sheets, they are just sorted by, "Cuisine", "Price", "Location", or simply "Alphabetical".

In the "Price" field we have 4 different ratings. They are:

$ - Least Expensive (Basic Food)
$$ - Average Price (Good Food)
$$$ - Higher Price (Better Food)
$$$$ - Highest Price (Best Food/Finest Dining)

You can almost think of the "Price" field as a "Rating" field because the majority of the time, the rule-of-thumb is, "You get what you pay for!"

The idea of my dining guide was to have one guide that you could print and carry with you on your trip to Whistler. It is meant to be as simple as possible. You still have to make a few decisions but once you do, it is very easy. I would recommend calling the places before you go to make sure there is room for you and to make sure the place is still open (...there are so many places that open & close all the time, it is hard to keep track!).

Also, remember that this list doesn't include all the pubs/bars/dance/clubs because if they don't serve food then they are not on this list.

I thought of making the "Top 10 Best Places to Eat in Whistler" but people's preferences are so different and they change every day. And, if you ask two different people, what place they would recommend, you probably would get two different answers. So take advantage of the 2.5 hour drive to Whistler and feel free to ask your driver on your limousine ride up to Whistler. You haven't just booked "transportation to Whistler" with Alpine North Limousine, you have booked a "fully personalized "boutique" transportation service". Your driver will be able to help you decide or make a recommendation based on your preferences.

I hope this helps!
