Rim Rock Café, Whistler

The friendly, attentive service ethic is what sets this fine-dining mainstay apart; given a choice, most Whistler residents would have a celebration dinner here. The dining room and bar are always packed; reservations are essential, at least a week ahead). Chef/owner Rolf Gunther honed his customer service ethic at, among others, Europe’s incomparable Kempinski Hotel chain; it shows all the way down the hierarchy to the greeting at the reception dais. Though nothing especially unusual is on the menu—fish and game, such as salmon and caribou, dominate—the preparations are exacting and the atmosphere is ever effervescent.
