If you love great food, very good and attentive service and a nice atmosphere, go to the best bistro in town. Probably the best dinner of our West Canada trip. On a Wednesday evening our family group of 12 including 2 small kids went here based on the recommendation of a few locals. The service was fantastically attentive. The waitress heared me dropping a spoon from the other side of the restaurant, right there with a new one. Because we were with such a large group, we practically ate the whole menu, and all the food was amazing! Duck breast: fantastic! Pork belly: spot on! Clam and cantharelle risotto: amazing! The wine, non-alcoholic beverages and cocktails: super! So, also in summer season, a great place to spend a few hours and enjoy a great meal.

We went to this restaurant on September 24th of this year with the whole family, a total of 10 adults and 2 kids. We had loads of shared plates as a starter, including the sourdough ciabatta, olives, charred shishito peppers, oysters, the Alta deli-board, and the venison tartare.
For main course we had a various dishes, but all dishes were amazing. The risotto with peas was great, the pork belly was perfectly glazed, and also the Bavette and cheeseburger were cooked perfectly.
Also the kids options were nice, varying from fish with chips to a cheese panini with fries, and of course ice cream as dessert!
The service was also amazing, and we had two lovely servers continuously being attentive with our water and wine glasses.
In total we spent a little over 100 CAD per person, but we had 3 bottles of wine totaling 375 CAD, so we went a little overboard on the wine, but it tasted great!

Halibut and bavette steak were outstanding! Gooseberry panacotta was out of this world. Chef is talented. Halibut was a few degrees more done than ideal in my opinion but still deserving a 5 star rating.

We tried the Summer 3-Course Special for $49, and everything we ordered was excellent. I think this may be one of the best restaurants in Whistler!
Each dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. There are a few items with an upcharge, but they were worth the extra cost. Service was a bit on the slow side, but the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made up for the wait.
Overall, a great dining experience with high-quality food at a good value. Would definitely return!

I was not asked how I wanted my steak cooked and it arrived well done, very over cooked for someone who prefers medium rare. It had minimal flavor as a result.

No pics but had a very good dinner here. The summer menu is a good start with add ons to follow.
The venison tartare with chicken liver mousse was excellent. The korean pork belly was delicious and well served with corn bread puree and beets. A touch small perhaps but value within the menu deal.
Pannacotta berries to finish. And with pleasant, attentive service on a quiet night.
The only knock is the eyewatering 65$ corkage fee charged for the nice bottle I brought. This is the most i have seen in BC. I get it, and it was still worth it but a website heads up would have been helpful. The wine list was credible with reasonable options but this is a sour note for me. Small wine by the glass offerings.
Still..another vg meal.

A rare gem and food is entirely unique. Delicious and truly creative. A genuine must have experience.
I'd love to see how this restaurant scores with the Michelin reviewers, at the same time, I really appreciate how it's quiet and not too busy, as I like how it doesn't feel too cramped. The food is farm to table inspired west coast flair with a touch of molecular gastronomy, and a unique dining experience that I enjoyed. Pacing is relaxed, so expect to take your time. Personally, I'd recommend this restaurant a visit.

Love Alta Bistro! My friend and I dined there last night and despite the summer special ordered a la carte. Had the Charred Savoy Cabbage, the Duck Egg w Pemberton Mushrooms and Tuna Crudo and a really good bottle of wine. It may be the best variety of flavours I’ve had there. Bon appetit!
