Holiday Dining

Being a resort town, the restaurants in Whistler don’t close down for the Christmas season; especially when there are an abundance of Red Seal chefs ready to wow you with delicious holiday meals. So take advantage of “conveniently” missing your mother-in-law’s dry turkey and lumpy gravy by making reservations at 21 Steps or Ric’s Grill. Mix up the holiday tradition by calling on Whistler Cooks Catering or Bearfoot Bistro to cater your holiday dinner. Nothing beats walking into your vacation home, after a day on the slopes to the smell of browning turkey and roast potatoes.
