Hello! I need some ideas on what to do and where to eat at whistler in October!! Please let me know thanks!

21 steps!

El Furniture Warehouse!

Great prices and huge selection. I love the eclectic atmosphere, too.

Gary such great value

Terrible experience and terrible food when we went earlier this month. Was better before

Julie Like everything else that doesn't meet expectations in life now, let's blame COVID!

Gary didn't sound like anyone was blaming Covid.

Ish Well, it's been my experience when a business fails to meet basic expectations, they blame COVID. My wife tried to exchange an item without a receipt at Walmart recently (which they did pre-COVID), but they wouldn't because... COVID. It's not like having the receipt sanitizes the item being returned.

Gary No, I blame the restaurant and it's employees for this one. They didn't give a crap. I have never seen anything like it! Oh well.

Julie Yeah, come to think of it, Whistler is full of transient workers... so as employee turnover occurs, the dining experience would change as well. What was your bad experience?

You are right, the staff was too busy chatting with friend to care about serving food or seating people. Food was over salted. Oh well, Maybe it will get better again.

Stones Edge! It's kind of tucked away behind another pub.
Look in to doing the Trainwreck walk/hike.
Heads up: Snow tires are required on all mountain roads starting Oct. 1 (yes, including Sea to Sky)

Just came back. My top tip - if it's raining, take advantage and go ATVing! We booked through Whistler ATV. Also, Vallea Lumina in the night was really cool.
Eat at the Rimrock for a fancier dinner.

Maghan second this - it’s fabulous

Ate at the Teppan restaurant that leads into the Hilton (Whistler Teppanyaki), and also at the Indian restaurant on Main Street (Tandoori Grill). Both were great and both following safety protocols etc.

The Brewhouse for great burgers
, the Keg, Earl’s and if on a budget there is a resto , everything for $5.00. Can’t remember the name. Bring a mountain bike or rent one many many trails in the woods. If you are there on the weekend of the 8-9 it’s the usual turkey sale from shoes,boots to skis and winter wear sale 75% of.
Adventure in the village and bring an umbrella
have fun....

Woodlands Rooftop Grill. It’s was amazing!

Check out http://www.whistlerbites.ca/ when you are there. Website that posts current dining specials and get a copy of the free Pique Newspaper when you arrive as they will List lots of dining specials for shoulder season.

For coffee and amazing baked treats, PureBred close to Olympic rings.

Also Peaked Pies for a quick, inexpensive, easy meal! Yummy

We loved Basalt in the village.

I forgot to mention Crêpe Montangne , it’s outside the walking village, on the north side. Within walking distance google it be early it’s always busy

Caramba for happy hour!

Elements for breakfast! Superb!!

If you're looking for an excellent gourmet meal check out the Red Door Bistro near Nita Lake.

Raven Room- excellent food and good price fixed price menu mid week. Also awesome cocktails!

Thank you all for the ideas!

You’ll need to check much closer to the date to see what’s open this Fall.
Red Door always needs advance reservations.
Usually, October will have locals special deals running... that anyone can get. But this year isn’t normal... and staffing is problematic.

I always try to stop at Creekbread wood fired pizza, open in the afternoons.

We loved Il Caminetto when we visited last week for a fancier meal. 21 Steps was also good, and Crepe Montagne for breakfast

2nd Crepe Montagne for breakfast option there's also Element, both places are fairly close to each other. For happy hour check out Bear Bistro as they also have a nice option in their menu. there's always the Mexican Corner too for the best margaritas in Whistler village I've tried. Their menu changes often too so keep an eye on their website for any special fall options

Rimrock Cafe is amazing for a fancy meal - we go every year and if they have halibut, do yourself a favour and definitely have it!!
Also nachos at Fairmont in the lounge are incredible and decently priced

21 Steps. They usually have a 3 course meal deal and amazing food

Check out harajuku, 21 steps, il caminetto and of course treats from pure bread!

Stinkys on the stroll... If you can get a table. It's small but very popular! Locals favorite.
