    Portobello salad with chicken
    Natalie J.

    Lunch here was pretty filling and tasty. We tried three things the poutine with pork, portobello salad with rotiserrie chicken, and 4 cheese grilled cheese total came out to like $62 Canadian dollars. I think the poutine was our favorite followed by the salad, we didn't love the grilled cheese. This a large place with lots of seating options.

    Calm atmosphere compared to many of the other restaurants we were considering. The meats and sides were all visible as we walked up to order - the brisket looked tasty! We ended up ordering the porchetta and roast veggies and jalepeno cornbread to split because of the price. We found a seat and put up the number we received at the register. The food was out within 5 minutes and was plenty for the two of us. The interior pork loin of the porchetta was dry, so it was sauced with the ok original sauce. The pork belly was nice and juicy with a crispy exterior. The vegetables were cooked well but a bit too oily. We had celery root for the first time! The cornbread and honey butter were a nice sweet touch. Overall good experience as we watched the Seahawks game! There's one tv for viewing.

    The porchetta sandwich is a MUST get whenever you're in whistler. This is located outside the fairmont hotel. There is no free parking so my suggestion is to have someone go order it and the driver to circle around and order for take out. The bread was so good! It is what a baguette should taste like! The crust was nice and crispy and the inside was soft and pillowy. The pork was crispy, not dry nor was it overly salty. The aioli added a nice creamy flavor to it as well. I also got the poutine which was a tad different from your normal Canadian poutine as it was smashed baby potatoes. It was a huge portion and it was also delicious! It was definitely a nice side to have with your sandwich.

    Before our hike we stopped by Portobello. It was delicious and so many options! We struggled with parking since everything was valet and paid parking. Instead we had drivers stay in the car. The breakfast burrito was amazing! It's so large. My issue with this restaurant is I came back for lunch since breakfast was so good but 1 friend's chicken was so dry and other seasoning issues happened with other dishes

    Amazing pastries that were not as expensive as I expected them to be since this bakery is in the Fairmont Hotel. The hotel is elegant and the pastries are just an extension of the ambiance of the hotel; decadent and upscale.

    This is like the best restaurant it has such a cozy vibe to it and the avocado toast is my favorite. I do recommend!

    Coffee and chocolate scone
    Tony X.

    I went to Portobello in the morning for a coffee and a chocolate scone, and both were excellent, however, not all that different from coffee and scones at other places. I'd love to go back to Portobello for a lunch or dinner. With plenty of seats inside and outside, it looks like a great setting for a meal together with other people.

    Nice cafe with plenty of seating! Everything was delicious!! We had the creme brulee donut, custard filled dossaint, the chicken pot pie, braised short rib chili, and roasted orchestra ciabatta! Update: we really enjoyed the food so had to come back the next day for breakfast!

    An amazing assortment of fresh baked pastries

    We ate here twice during our visit to Whistler and hands down, the food is spot on! We had watched some videos on Whistler prior to our trip and Portobello was mentioned in all of them as a must stop. I agree. We had the poutine with mushrooms and onions and the Rosemary gravy. One thing to note, I have always had poutine on fries, but here they use deliciously baked red potatoes. At first my wife preferred fries, but I mentioned I liked the potatoes because I could determine the ratio of potato to gravy, etc. By the end, she agreed. We also had the Perfectly Perfect Porchetta sandwich. I don't know what to say about this because the name says it all. It is a perfect sandwich. The pork is seasoned perfectly and they have their own pork rinds and a sauce. The bread is fresh made and...well, like the name says, it's perfect. The people that prepare your food to the people at the register and those who help clean up are all courteous and attentive. This is a lively place during meal times so it can get busy, but it is worth the wait! My only reason for a missed star was they make the food and do not always wear gloves. To me, I prefer you wear gloves during food handling, especially when I can see you. Think of the number of times a day we touch our face without even knowing we do.

    Yes please- May I have a maple bacon donut
    Bonnie C.

    We dream and salivate about the maple bacon donut at Portobello. They bring them out at 9am daily. We look forward to visiting Whistler because of these donuts. I think it is the best donut I have ever had. Yum! We also had a good turkey sandwich and fresh salad. The lunch was so good. Portobello is a must visit for donuts and lunch.

    Porchetta sandwich
    Jeff W.

    Recently had lunch here, one of our go-tos when we're looking for a leisurely meal with much better quality than what you'll get at Rendezvous or Roundhouse lodges. It's cafeteria style and the line doesn't move very quick, so for lunch expect a significant wait, but the food is great. Breakfast and dinner are shorter waits. Great lodge-like vibe, separate area for coffee and a bar but you can pay for everything together.

    Back again and again this place rocks for good good food, great Fairmont service all without the craziness of the mountain lodges, always worth the 20' ski down. Now with the new gondolas getting up is a snap

    Amazing cafe where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Open until late. They also have daily specials. We took cuban sandwich and poutine. Both were very delisious. It's a nice meal after working out whole day. The portions are very generous, me and my husband we shared it otherwise it would be too much. This food kept us full whole day. Also I highly recommend to try their Belgium hot chocolate it's pretty good! They have very cozy outdoor patio with fire-pits and plenty of space inside, with tvs and bar.

When you walk in you're promptly greeted by the hosts. We came mid week and tried their spring menu which was 4 courses for 33 before tax and tip. The server was prompt and attentive with a sincere, friendly demeanour. They were out of the tomato soup so we got the chowder and some chips and salsa (not pictured). Both were so delicious. The chips were ultra thick and reminded me of eating bugles as a kid, but way higher class. The salmon and chicken were way larger portions than we had expect , and done to perfection. Chicken is a little spicy but this is the type of service and cooking I liiiiive for! If you've ever had any other Earls scratch that out of your mind because when you come here, this is literally the place to be. Sticky toffee pudding also wonderful. It's not like a pudding more like a mini chocolate cake with toffee, vanilla ice cream and this almond florentine style cookie.

It was a rather cold April evening, so we asked if there were heaters. We were told that the heaters would be above our seats. We quickly accepted and were taken to our table. It was quite nice because the heather gave off enough heat for it to be enjoyable to sit outside. My friend ordered the 6 oz prime sirloin with the peppercorn sauce. I ordered the 6 oz prime sirloin with truffle butter. Both steaks came out in exceptional time. The service was quite amazing. My only thing was both steaks were overcooked. I ordered medium and it looked almost well done. My friend ordered medium rare and his was almost medium, if not done as well.

Returning for drinks, i had a couple of the Sour Keys - (Smirnoff Raspberry, Peach Schnapps, Lemon, Sprite and Sour Key Candy) and oh man - they were dangerously good!
