Description: The culinary cornerstone in the heart of Whistler Village, Araxi enjoys a long-held international reputation for excellence in food, wine and hospitality. Executive Chef James Walt celebrates carefully sourced local ingredients from nearby Pemberton Valley farms, where he collaborates frequently with local growers. His seasonally rotating menus also feature the freshest seafood catches direct from the Pacific Ocean. The dining room resonates with lively ambiance enhanced with fresh flowers and original works of art. The adjoining Bar is the mountain’s popular gathering place for locals and visitors, and in the summer season the patio is the nexus of Whistler’s village life, wrapped by stunning mountain vistas.

I was WOWed by the food... my order was Fresh Oysters, Risotto with Prawn and Scallop, and Canadian Cheese Plater... Everything was soo good and beautifully presented.. In fact everybody in our party finished their food, nothing... More

This amazing Restaurant is worth the trip to Whistler...one of the highlights of the area for those of us who do not ski. Dine In Whistler, an annual event with Araxi joining for their Anniversary Celebration, is the perfect time to enjoy the chef,s creations at a fabulous price!!! Why would you cook hamburgers on the BBQ when you could... More

Stepping into Araxi was like a different world of calm and excellence ,with the mayhem of Whistler left at the door. The wide ranging menu, including a seperate vegetarian menu , was mouthwatering and each taste exquisite , wish we could have gone again!

Without doubt, “Araxi” was one of the best restaurants in Whistler, I believe. We tried to make a reservation on Friday evening by phone but only 5:30pm or 9pm were available for us. My wife’s suggestion, we took a chance and went there around 6:30pm and asked a table for two. Luckily, they juggled their reservations and accommodated us to... More

This was my second time here and it did not disappoint. The waitstaff was super helpful in narrowing down the choices and the food was amazing. Start with one of their unique cocktails and pick out a couple of oysters on the half shell to begin a memorable evening.

A great pleasure to return to Araxi again. It's a "must-visit" establishment. They've been around for 30 years or so, and know what they are doing, and they are doing it RIGHT!

After years of going to Whistler we finally tried Araxis Restaurant this past week. It was so good that we went back twice during our trip to Whistler. Not only was the food exceptionally good, but the service matched the quality of the food. The olive boat is every bit as good as the best olives that we have had... More

Araxi is probably my favourite Whistler restaurant, although it is really difficult to say that with so many outstanding ones to choose from. Not sure if it is the bar, the ambiance, the waiters, the food the company or the wine but all seem to be top notch to me and I seriously cannot fault it. The menu is extensive... More
