When you want a dinner that feels like a proper occasion, Araxi is the Whistler restaurant to book. Set right in Village Square, it has been one of the resort’s most respected dining rooms for decades, known for warm service and a real commitment to local ingredients.
The kitchen, led by Culinary Director James Walt, builds its seasonal menus around produce, meat and seafood from farms and fishers across British Columbia. Start at the oyster bar with fresh West Coast oysters, then move on to dishes that change with what’s in season. Pair it all with something from the extensive wine list, which features plenty of excellent BC wines alongside international favourites.
In winter, Araxi is a cozy place to unwind after a big day on the slopes. In summer, the patio on Village Square is one of the best spots in town for a long lunch or an early evening drink while the Village buzzes around you.
Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends and during peak ski season. Book ahead when you plan your trip, so you can relax knowing one great evening is already taken care of.
