Whistler has five excellent Japanese restaurants, but Sushi Village is where the party is. It is a local favourite, with excellent sushi, a relaxed come-as-you-are atmosphere and the potential for a very lively night.
It is just a stone’s throw from the ski lifts. Head to the back of the restaurant to find the low, shoji-walled booths and order a sake margarita. The Box Sushi, a combination of prawn, scallop, salmon and avocado topped with a thin slice of lemon, is a good place to start. There is also a long-held local tradition involving sake and the rafters, which we will leave you to discover for yourself.
Sushi Village is very popular and does not take reservations for groups of fewer than six. Go early, put your name down and take a walk through Whistler Village while you wait.
It is a great choice for a group dinner after a day on the slopes, and an easy walk from anywhere in the Village.
