Alta Bistro Reviews

Enjoyed a great selection of wine at the bar and delicious dinner. Great spot which isn't in the busy area of the village.

Innovative, fresh, locally sourced menu. Great cocktail/wine/beer selection. Great location. Great service. One of my favourite restaurants anywhere in the world.

excellent house- gin and tonic, that was blueberry infused.
the crisps were great and were made in-house and had a great crunch to them.
Pork crackling was my first attempt, it had a little crab apple jam on the side which lightened up the oilyness of the dish.
will have to stay for dinner next time but the ambience was good!

Bold, delicious, and local cuisine. A consistent top performer in the Whistler food scene.

Just strolled by on holiday monday. No signage on open or close......??

Been coming here since it opened. The menu is always a fresh change from the usual Whistler dining. Recently had the vegan burger special with a glass of wine. It was all I hoped and dreamed for. The wine selection is always fantastic. Service is impeccable. Good work guys.

This is a cozy and popular spot. Definitely make a reservation a few days in advance. Esp if you are coming during peak dinner hours. They are open midnight and it definitely feels like they are busy all the way to the end.

Food here was well done and very tasty. Had the seared tuna and smoked scallops and the pork dish. So very tasty but I wish there were bigger portions. Ordered one appetizer, two meetings and two desserts for two people and about 2-3 drinks each. Worked it to about $120 reach before tip. Great meal but left a tad hungry.

Service was attentive and friendly.

We went on our last night and wanted to splurge but after looking at some of the more expensive places this caught our eye with its seasonal and local ingredients menu at very reasonable prices.

Wow were we amazed! The food was extremely high quality and delicious. The choucroute and spaetzel we had were both intricate with multitudes of flavors and unique components. The wine list was also well thought out with plenty of by the glass options and the cocktails equally impressive.

This was by far our best meal at Whistler all week and it cost us less than most of the other dinners we had out in the village.

We were strolling around the village, looking for a dessert and another drink. Came upon the bistro and it was just the perfect way to end our night. The desserts blew our little minds out, espressos were delicious, and the whiskey selection was exactly what we were looking for. The hostess, our server and the bartender all went out of their way and elevated the experience to the next level! Such a great evening, thank you. I highly recommend this lovey bistro. We will be back.

Amazing and interesting food. Had an overall lovely experience and would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a fabulous dinner last night. Fresh, creative dishes were all delicious, even mains like a burger or gnocchi which we had were far more creative. The burger was made of bison & pork. My pumpkin gnocchi included crisp sage leaves amongst other toppings. Huge wine list too. Great, attentive service made for a nice evening.

Delicious food, fantastic service, and a good wine list. My only quibble with the wine list would be that for a restaurant that is all about sustainable local food, there could be a few more BC wines on list and less of an emphasis on European wine.

Excellent value and delicious food with their "dinner for two" menu.

They could just as easily be placed in the heart of Paris and be right at home. Great staff. Excellent Vegan options as well.

I felt as if I were in an episode of chefs table. A truly unique dining experience. I ve never experienced such eclectic tastes and great presentation. The cocktails, espresso and desert were amazing too.

What a gem in Whistler village. Great service and fantastic food!! Will definitely come back

I'm not exaggerating when I say that Alta Bistro was the best meal of my entire life. The food here is absolutely phenomenal and the drinks were amazing too. I cannot rate this place high enough.

They've really stepped it up this winter. The food was delicious, creative and beautiful.

We felt the restaurant was really rushing us out of there... the server probably came back to ask if they could take stuff away 3-4 times within 15min span . The website said we could be there for 1.5 hrs, we were gone in 45 mins because of how quickly they took everything away, and feeling unwelcomed. We told the server he could take away one empty dish and he even took our cutlery so we couldn t enjoy the last dish.. maybe he expected we would eat the rest with our hands? The food was just okay... so our anniversary dinner was quite unmemorable. The first server... she almost seemed annoyed when I said I didn t want a drink... my husband got a beer. But we still spent 100+ on the meal. I Would not come back and not recommend to others... the only good thing was the heated plates.

Interesting food. Service from waiter was not great but the owner made things right.

Overall good dinner, though found that the make we ordered were a little lack luster. The except was the tuna which was delicious. Children portions were generous. Nice and cozy interior, friendly staff. Reading the other reviews, could very well be the choices of dishes we picked, will surely try again.

We went with a group of friends the other night, the food is incredible, if you are looking for a dining experience that will wow you, make sure you check Alta Bistro out. The team there are amazing, which helps make it the best restaurant in Whistler.

My boyfriend and I decided to come here expecting high quality french cuisine.

We both got the Alta burger with side of chips. The chips were stale, cold and overly salty. The bun was not toasted and the patty was and bland.

Although the servers were warm and welcoming, we were very disappointed with the food and the price that we paid for it.

Pleasant surprise of the trip, what a great meal. Burger was good, had some of the steak which was great, squid was ok, wine was really good. Great service.

Nice French restaurant worth a stop when you are in whistler. They were able to accommodate 10 of us ordering family style.

There were a lot of dishes being passed back and forth I could not keep track of what all I had. But I can tell you that everything was excellent!

Would love to come back and try it in a more low key setting with just the two of us. Then I can focus more on the meal and let you know what is really good.

Amazing food such a fun environment our new favorite

Just amazingly well prepared food. Gastronomic delight for my mouth

Great date night for dead season deal. My partner and I enjoyed lovely service. Fresh local and tasty food for two opposite palates and the cocktail and wine was delicious.

Exquisite food and service. Proper Bistro, beautiful locally sourced ingredients, and superb wine and cocktails. A must try!!

Held a group event here for 60 people. Amazing food, amazing staff. Ted was awesome and everything went seamlessly. Guests were impressed and raved about the food. Highly highly recommend!!

The menu is incredibly original and the service is outstanding!!

Great food and service in Whistler. We dined here two times in one week. Food is great with unforgettable dining experience and taste. Staff is awesome and helpful which made us go again.

Ordered sourdough bread for the table and each person got the the Spring 3 Course Meal. I had the French Onion Soup, the Cod Lasagna, and the Lamb Sausage. Each course was excellent and care was put into each flavor and each flavor combination that was a part of each course. I had a taste of the chocolate cheesecake for dessert which was a great way to finish an excellent night

Michelin star quality food and service. Highly recommend for a special night.

Very good. Had the bison flat iron steak, which was very tender. The porcini mushrooms were a bit soggy. Excellent smoked paprika and chick pea hummus with sourdough bread!

Pretty good food. I preferred the appetizers to most of the entrees though.

Been here a few times and the food & service are consistently very good.
Bonus points also for being very ecologically and socially responsible (a fact they are quite discreet about).

We ordered an Xmas dinner to go about 4 days before arrival. They sent a ready to pick up text, but we were already on our way. It was ready to go and we put it in oven to keep warm until we were ready. Great options of turkey and ham with all the side dishes including stuffing, gravy and even Potatoes Anna. We would recommend as the meal was excellent and the Negroni was perfect. All the best.

Tried a tasting menu and the selection was diverse and delicious! Great wine selection.

The food here is unbelievably good, if you're looking for vegan or vegetarian they will blow your mind. Looking for meat or fish dishes their options although limited are beyond words. They own making core ingredients in house aged jalapeno sauce, tonic water and soda water. The meats wether it's beef, pork, or fish are perfectly cooked and hard to beat. If flavor town wasn't a meme it would describe this place.

The servers were very friendly, the food came out quickly and the drinks were not watered down. We got the dinner for two and the butternut squash soup was great but I found the other entrees very salty and the carrot cake would have been better if it had been warm.

Unlike most places in the Village, this one is small and quiet. Excellent service, innovative dishes. Prices on the high side.

Festival of flavours! The food was so delicious and well presented. We enjoyed every single dish. The service was exceptional too. Thank you for a great experience!

Make reservations days in advance if possible. Great food & drinks $$$$

Food is very delicious, if you're willing to spend over 50 dollars. Don't be fooled by the small plating, you will leave full

we had such a positive experience here with the staff. They were so genuine and accommodating. We had to leave before ordering food for some personal reasons. but we will definitely return as the environment was lovely and the food looked great.

Great meal and lovely venue. Would definitely return.

The food is focused and thoughtful. I appreciate the all female crew as well. However the final result of the food is a little underwhelming. Portion is a bit mean for the price. The food tasted less special then the description. I came with high expectations and inevitably compared it to Araxi, which is not a fair comparison in some ways. At the end of the day, I likely won't return as a tourist from Vancouver.

Overall my favourite restaurant in Whistler. Forget the others that might appear better rated, overall this place beats them hands down with atmosphere, service and quality of the food. It's all local and seasonal, staff know the menu inside out and atmosphere is understated elegance. If you get the chance just go for the tasting menu and you'll get an amazing mix.
