Pies, pastries and Mexican food all feature on my latest blog post of 3 places to eat in Whistler, Canada. While I spent most of my time in Whistler hiking, I still made sure to get out and about to see what it had to offer in terms of eating options. Keep reading to take a look at some potential ideas for food if you decide to visit Whistler on a trip in the future.
1. Peaked Pies – 4369 Main St #105, Whistler, BC V0N 1B4, Canada
To start off, Peaked Pies was my first food stop when I arrived in Whistler from Vancouver. More about that here. It’s located in the village but in a quieter part which might suit those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle.
This Australian bakery cafe had a younger group of customers when I arrived. I was able to buy the pie-fect meal combo $18.50 CAD before tax. It included a pie of my choice, a minington and a drink.
They really packed in a lot of hearty ingredients into their pies that will leave you feeling full and satisfied afterwards. These pies are perfect to warm you on a cold day. I thought that the minington was a nice, sweet touch for dessert.
The staff were also on the younger side and came from a few different countries. I got the impression some were here through the Canadian working holiday programme. They were very helpful and assisted me with a lot of local information to get to my accommodation and to the bus stop which I was great grateful for. There are reviews are available here and you can also check out their official site here.
2. Purebread – 4338 Main St #122, Whistler, BC V0N 1B4, Canada and 1040 Millar Creek Rd, Whistler, BC V0N 1B1, Canada
Next up is Purebread. I’m going to be raving about Purebread because if I could go here daily, I probably would. In Whistler, there are two locations. One is in the village centre and another is located on Millar Creek Road.
The Millar Creek Road location is accessible by the line 10 public bus and is probably more suitable to those driving and passing through. The seating reflects this as there are a few seats available looking out the window.
As soon as I entered, I knew I was going to be buying more than one item. I opted for the scone which had a nice solid crunch with a soft inside with a hint of sweet flavour. The cherry slice was slightly sour but mainly sweet. The staff were very friendly and chatty, making me feel very welcomed.
In addition, they also have a location in Whistler Village. As it is in the centre of Whistler, timing is pretty important. I walked past at one point when it was quiet and then there was a large queue and a crowd a few minutes later. That being said, if you’re unsure of what to order (the choice is impressive!) you may want to use that extra time to make a decision.
I’m a big fan of chocolate and this slice was pure decadence. It’s perfect for those who like rich and sweet desserts. I still think about the sweet icing now! It was paired perfectly with my coffee. Another thing I really like about Purebread is how their portions are on the larger side and typically larger than most baked goods I saw around the place.
Unfortunately, I don’t have my receipt to give the official price but I don’t recall it feeling like robbery. You can check out more reviews available here or take a look at their official site here.
3. Mexican Corner – 12-4340 Sundial Crescent, Whistler, BC V8E 1G5, Canada
Finally, I came to The Mexican Corner after a long day of hiking and as usual I had no reservation. This Mexican restaurant was packed with a wide range of people looking to be fed. Customers varied from families to friends of all ages, as well as a few younger groups of friends eating together. The waiting staff were on the go the entire time and this was matched in their energetic, friendly demeanour.
I paid $33CAD before tax for a Coke Zero (or a ‘pop’ on the receipt!) and chicken fajitas. Again, this is a relatively standard price if you’re in Whistler. The attentive service was matched with tasty food. It was a very busy restaurant right in the middle of the action in Whistler. More reviews are available here and they have plenty more information available on their official site.
Final Thoughts
Overall, there are plenty of food options to those who want to eat out during their stay in Whistler. I do think a lot of it depends on what kind of food you’re feeling at the time but I hope this was of use to you. Be prepared for queues and above average prices but this all goes with the Canadian territory these days.
