Rimrock Café and Oyster Bar

  • November 3, 2002

Rim Rock Café has been in Whistler forever. Many other high-profile places have opened in recent years, but the rim-rock is still one of the best. It is a standalone building between Whistler Village and Creekside. You’ll probably want to take your car or hop in a cab because it’s a long walk.

The restaurant serves west-coast cuisine which is almost always good. Fresh seafood but also choices for meat-lovers and vegetarians. The décor is also very west coast with light woods, west coast art and a nice fireplace. Service is professional and courteous. This is definitely an upscale restaurant but doesn’t feel nearly as pretentious as other places in town. It’s comfortable and great after a long day of skiing or other activity. Prices for entrees range between $20-35cdn.

The Rimrock is the perfect restaurant for a ski resort...you get outstanding service, a warm, relaxed atmosphere, unbelievably tasty and inventive food, and a totally reasonable price. It was recommended to us by a friend and we've thanked him repeatedly.

I wanted a really nice meal and felt like seafood. The concierge at the Chateau and everyone else I spoke with recommended the Rimrock Cafe. It is a favorite for locals and tourists alike (make reservations early if you want a chance to dine here). Its reputation is definitely well deserved.

The food was very nice. We tried the appetizer sampler which included selections with a local flavor and some Asian inspiration. My favorite appetizer item was the shrimp tempura sushi. As for entrees, you have several meat and fish dishes to choose from. I chose the fish trio (three different fish selections) because I couldn’t decide which I wanted more. It was a good choice because everything was delicious. The prawns with risotto was also very nice (I even preferred it over my fish entrees). Everything is beautifully displayed and very flavorful.

The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and right on with her recommendations. The ambience was also nice (very relaxed, lots of wood – like a ski lodge, a fireplace with a roaring fire). All of this contributed to an excellent dining experience. This is a great place for a romantic dinner, a get-together with friends and family, or even a nice business dinner.

The only downside is that the restaurant is not in Whistler Village (it is about five minutes away in the Creekside portion of the mountain), no big deal if you have a car or don’t mind taking a taxi or shuttle bus.
