Dining

The Pony chefs have married their posh-dining experience with local flair and a menu selection that pushes all the right buttons from Eggs Benny variations to stylish pizzas to sizzling kebabs. The Pony bar is wild on any hockey night and every so often, it also hosts jazz-groups.

Wild Wood

Wild Wood (1436 Portage Rd, Portage Station) is another favourite. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this comfortable restaurant is a good choice for families and group gatherings. Wild Wood also has three locations in Whistler: a café, a bistro and a tapas bar.

Golf Course Eateries

Both golf courses have quality restaurants, too. Away from designer-label Whistler, they are the preferred destinations for wedding receptions for price, food and views. The Black Squirrel at The Meadows Golf Course has an airy ambiance with surround-windows and a shaded patio overlooking the fairways; Fescues at Big Sky Golf & Country Club feels more casual and has a more intimate patio, mainly because of all the vine-covered rafters.

Picnic Supplies

Grimms Gourmet Deli (7433 Frontier St) can put together some of the best picnic goodies for leisurely hikes, hair-raising adventures or meandering drives. If the latter, watch for U-Pick berry fields, orchards and farms selling fresh-picked produce for an accompanying salad, tasty dessert or take-home treat.
