3 Best Restaurants in Whistler, British Columbia

Locals consistently rank Elements, which is found in Summit Lodge, as having the best tapas in the area. It's a hip eatery with everyone from animated thirtysomethings to jet-setting families with young children. The draw here is the open-concept kitchen that produces locally inspired small plates that are perfect for sharing. Steamed Salt Spring Island mussels with lemongrass, Kaffir lime, and coconut green curry are yummy, as are the deconstructed ahi tuna tacos and roast duck breast with maple roasted root vegetables. Pair your small plates with fine Canadian wines. The restaurant is open for breakfast, too, when several variations of eggs Benedict are the stars.

"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.

Located right in the heart of the Village, this deli has a great assortment of sandwiches, wraps and pre-made charcuterie boxes.

Added bonus: they can accommodate any dietary restriction. Can't eat gluten, nuts, dairy, or meat? They've got you covered.
