Went to Barefoot Bistro in Whistler and it was such a nice night…read more Service was honestly next level. Everyone was so attentive and friendly, and it just made the whole experience feel a lot more special. We went all in and got the seafood tower, Pemberton potato soup, elk, some wine, and dessert. The seafood tower was really fun to share and everything came out fresh and well done. The potato soup was super comforting, and the elk was cooked really nicely. Nothing felt like a miss. They also have a wine cellar with a ton of bottles, which was really cool to check out and added to the whole experience. It is definitely on the pricier side, but being in Whistler that kind of comes with it. Overall it felt worth it for the experience, especially with how great the service was.

La Bocca Restaurant in Whistler is one of my go-to spots, mainly because their Salmon Eggs Benedict…read moreis so good it could probably solve world peace if served at the UN. The place can get busy, and the service really depends on who you luck out with--sometimes you feel like royalty, other times you're left wondering if you accidentally became invisible. Still, I keep coming back because the vibe is always worth it. Late-night drinks here are my favorite, especially paired with some top-tier people-watching--you never know if you'll see ski bums still in their gear, tourists practicing their "Whistler walk," or locals just doing their thing. No matter what, the mix of good food, drinks, and entertainment makes La Bocca a spot I can't resist, even with its quirks.

I normally wouldn't leave this review, but they have a really great breakfast buffet! Drinks included coffee, milk, juice, and pressed cold juices. They have your usual breads and pastries, but notable things include the yogurt bar, quality of the fruit, the omelette / egg station, and the changing hot dishes (waffles, pancakes, frittatas, seasoned hash browns, etc). Service is very friendly and attentive despite most people getting the buffet. It was a really pleasant breakfast and also incredibly convenient if you're staying at the Westin and trying to hit the slopes early! Note: the line can be longer around 7:30-8am, especially on peak days.

Tasty baller restaurant in the 2nd floor of the Westin…read more Parking is pretty horrendous here, but at least it's available. Interior is very nice and modern. Interestingly enough, nobody used the outdoor patio which provides a great view of the mountain. Maybe it's only open in the evenings. Came here to try their brunch. Was told it was expensive but worth it. The food was tasty. All the fruits and vegetables were fresh. The eggs Benedict were crisp. Bacon and sausages weren't too greasy which was nice. They also make custom omelettes but I didn't try. Special mention to their blueberry pancakes. For those who don't do the buffet, they do have regular food options. However, the options can quickly surpass the buffet price if one wants to try multiple items. Also, we were told the "served" items are less customized and fancy. In other words, just do the buffet. Though my wallet hurt, my friends and I left happy and stuffed. I'd eat here again. Recommended.

They have some bar-height tables made out of some barrels - I would not sit here. Service Quality: Staff was attentive and knew the menu well. They recommend getting a wide variety of dishes since it is tapas. Menu Variety: Great selection of spanish tapas. There's fish, meat, seafood, veggies - there is something for everyone. You won't find the lesser known tapas here - just the main popular ones we all know. Food Presentation: Simple, nothing crazy here. Plated with intention. Food Taste and Quality: Food came to the table hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Some of the patatas bravas were a bit undercooked - for me there was a bit too much sauce here. They also have the shishito peppers here - even though 1 out of 10 are spicy, it was more like 5 out of 10 were spicy. Luckily they were all grilled to perfection. The cod fritters were great, would order again. Portion Sizes: You'll need to order at least 5 dishes for a table of 2. Drink Selection: Simple cocktail menu with a spanish twist to them - if you really want to call it a "spanish cocktail". Price and Value: Good value for money, priced just right. Overall Experience and Recommendation: Make sure you make a reservation cause if not you'll be waiting and by the time you look for another restaurant for dinner - everything will be closed (cause its Bowen Island). I tried it, I would try the other restaurants on the island first before coming back.

Pretty fantastic! I was in Bowen Island for a yoga retreat…read more Most places were closed limited options. We were happy this place was open, we were not disappointed. Spanish tapas style, we ordered about 6 dishes and bread and we were pretty full. Also sangria. Food was fantastic, everything we ordered had so much flavor, my favourite was the orzo salad and the shrimp. A little surprise that Bowen Island had this little gem. Due to Covid protocols only patio was open, which worked fine for us, also set up socially distance. Great service. Recommend you making reservation, we didn't but came right when they opened lucked out with a table. It got pretty busy 15 minutes after we arrived. Overall, I was very impressed. We will be back!

Well, what better time to go then for my boyfriend's birthday? We came with somewhat full tummies and so we only got the cauliflower to share which was unique but the real star of the show are there cocktails. I started out with their cocktail which is their name sake: grapes and soda. It was so drinkable and delicious. My boyfriend got their special which he loved so watch out for those. We tried another one that was really a beautiful drink which I think was the umeshu shiso soda wari and finally zombie cure. 3.5 oz and you do NOT taste the booze -- these drinks are DANGEROUS and delicious. Come for the good cozy vibes and drinks. Maybe leave more room than I did as I spotted some beautiful local inspired menu items!

Their happy hour runs from 2-5pm and includes cocktails, glasses of wine and wine flights. We indulged in a self-selected wine tasting (five, 2 ounce pours) and were so impressed that we ended up leaving with 3 bottles (2022 Rose, Stoneboat "Piano" brut, and Rosé Frizzante 2022). Colby, our connoisseur (and new BFF), was very knowledgeable and accommodating in answering our questions and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back for more wine!
