Britt Janyk's Picks

Best Dinner

“The Rimrock Cafe has been in Whistler forever and the food is incredible—from the steak to the excellent wild West Coast salmon."

Best Cocktails

“The Crystal Lounge is a great spot for cocktails.”

Best Drinks

“Amsterdam Café is a little more casual. If the patio is open, you can sit outside and watch the main square in the village.”

Best Deal

“Pasta Lupino. Great fresh pasta that doesn’t break the bank.”

Best Ski Run

“Spanky’s Ladder on Blackcomb. It’s steep and fun!”
