Quotes

 

Fine dining at its best.
Zagat

…consistently rated one of the best restaurants in the country…
Russell Smith, Globe & Mail

(The Bearfoot Bistro) is honored by the Wine Spectator for having one of the most outstanding wine lists in the world.
Wine Spectator

The buzz is that Whistler offers the best eating of any ski resort on the continent. Those high standards are met beautifully at the Bearfoot Bistro.
Bon Appetit

Whistler's most sophisticated eatery.
City Food

The most memorable restaurant experience in Canada.
Anthony Gismondi, Wine Access

From the impeccable service to the inventiveness of the dishes, to the irresistible novelty of drinking out of a baseless champagne flute submerged in ice, the Bearfoot Bistro is class itself.
Olivia Kienzel, Frontiers Magazine

Even in Whistler, a resort where great restaurants abound, Bearfoot Bistro is something special. Wine Spectator has declared its list one of the most outstanding in the world; such disparate characters as Bill Gates and Hell's Angel Maurice "Mom" Boucher have dined in its cellar (though not together). Twenty-seven-year-old wunderkind chef Melissa Craig astonishes with plate after plate on the order of pan-seared weather vane scallop, braised veal cheek pine mushroom ragout, truffle jus. If you've already taken a second mortgage to stay at one of Whistler's better hotels, sell one of your eyeballs and splurge further on the chef's daily five-course tasting menu.
