    Tasty European (Mediterranean?) restaurant near the middle of Whistler Village. Parking is horrendous here. Surprise surprise. The place definitely has that European feel. Actually one can forget one is inside a ski resort. Staff are friendly and professional. No complaints. Calamari a la plancha - grilled calamari in olive oil. Delicious but the portion size is ridiculously tiny. See photo. With that said, I later found out this item is half priced during happy (tappy?) hour as of the time of writing. Crispy lamb pizza - thin crust (Neopolitan style). Sprinkled with bits of goat cheese. Meatball panuozzo - basically a large overstuffed meatball pizza pocket. Gooey cheese and tomato sauce. 4 large meatballs inside. Made a mess trying to eat this thing. Buddy ordered the spaghetti & meatballs and it is quite a large portion. He said it was tasty too. Friends and I left stuffed. The food here is solid. Recommended.

    I was really craving pizza and my husband recommended this place for their wood fired pizza. I love a great wood fired pizza and they did not disappoint. Our server was very warm and welcoming, Kristen. Service was quick throughout our entire stay and she always came and checked on us throughout dinner. All of the staff were super friendly. We started with their meatballs. They melted in our mouths, the sauce & cheese were exceptional! They were massive and filling as well. I had the Margarita pizza & my husband had the Crispy Lamb. They were both delicious and I had to try the Crispy Lamb. It was phenomenal!!

    Mediterranean restaurant.

    The calamari is the best I ever have. The sangria is delicious. All the food and drinks are great. The service is very friendly. The ambiance is incredible. Location is great. My husband and me love Caramba.

    1.5 at best. Service was really lacking. Food came out 10 mins before we got our drinks. Had to remind the waitress we ordered a pitcher, which sat on the bar for better than 10 mins. We had a lot of moths at our table, not sure about the other bugs. Food was tasty, not really worth the price, but was edible. Not trying to be a "boomer" but the dress code for the staff was interesting bordering on inappropriate. Nice location, but a total tourist spot.

    Got take out for this one, so cannot comment on the service or ambiance in the restaurant itself. Wasn't planning on getting pizza, but after seeing their Tuesday promo for a 20" pizza for $20, so decided to take out and see what its about. Got the Funghi pizza. Its really thin! and the toppings were ok, could have used a bit more variety and amount, but for $20 and for that size, you could do a lot worse, so overall, great value and would recommend coming here for their special. The one negative is that there is an hour wait for the pizza even for take out (never mind trying to get a seat), but it was ok, we went to do something else and popped back for it.

    I've been to this restaurant before and loved it--the food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting with a nice upscale vibe. I was excited to bring my husband here after having such a great experience last year. We had a fantastic dinner, and the 3 for $30 deal is such a good value. However, the service left a sour taste in our mouths. When our check arrived, we were charged for the dessert that's supposed to be included in the 3 for $30 deal. Thankfully, I caught the mistake before paying. After the server "corrected" it, she brought over the POS, and the total was still wrong. At that point, I had already paid using Apple Pay because I trusted her to fix it--but the amount was incorrect again! This kind of repeated mistake is frustrating and honestly unacceptable. What made it worse was her attitude. She didn't seem to care or apologize, which made it feel less like an honest mistake and more like she was intentionally trying to overcharge us. This left a bad impression and made it hard to want to return, despite how great the food and ambiance are. I hope management addresses this because it's not that hard to charge the correct amount, and poor service like this really detracts from the overall experience.

    Spaghetti & meatballs

    We came here on a Friday night at the end of October (off season) without reservations. Despite the place is busy, we only have to wait for 10' for a table. During Fall, many restaurants has a set menu and so is Caramba. They have 3 courses for $30, everyday except Saturday!!! What a great deal! Initial I was worried that the portion might be small, but man I was wrong. If you look at my photos, the pasta portion is huge and I cannot finish mine. So for my set course, I got: - Calamari - Tagliatelle Pesto - Caramelize white chocolate cheesecake Every course is delicious and I left the restaurant feeling I just got another huge Thanksgiving dinner! Drinks are pretty good. I have the smoked negroni. And you wouldn't guess it's bourbon based on the colour because of the clarification. Very cool drink to try. I definitely would come back next time I'm in Whistler.

    if you come here and the 30th anniversary family style menu is available GET IT!!! it features their popular menu items, not only was it more than enough food for the two of us, every food item was incredibly delicious. aside from the mains, i would highlight the calamari and broccolini, absolutely delightful!! the service was great and so was the ambiance! a little toasty to my liking temperature wise, but nothing major!! 5/5 stars for this place!

    Mac n cheese

    Amazing service, great food! Was able to get a reservation for 9 day of without too much issue. Would definitely recommend if in the area

    Delicious Italian food! I ordered the pesto with an add on of shrimp. Definitely worth it. The serving sizes are huge. So big that you need to lean protein to almost cut into how heavy it can get. I also ordered the scotched egg which was perfectly cooked with a runny yolk.

    Happy Hour garlic prawns and meatballs
    Tracy L.

    Happy Hour! We arrived in Whistler a bit too early for our hotel check in, so we walked to Caramba for Happy Hour (3-5pm). We ordered a pitcher of white sangria - which was the biggest pitcher of sangria we've ever seen for $25! It's the size of a beer pitcher. From the Happy Hour menu, we ordered three dishes for $25 (or the price is one is $10 each) - the meatballs, squid and garlic prawns. I only ate the prawns and they were cooled perfectly and well seasoned. My son and husband liked the squid and meatballs. Since the HH menu didn't have much that I wanted, I ordered the duck off the regular menu - and it was excellent! The medium rare duck breast was perfect. The turnips, mushrooms, mushroom mousse and the sauce were perfect. My son stole more than "just a bite" from this dish.

    Chicken and 'nduja fettuccine
    Mary M.

    The best meal I had in my 3 day stay in Whistler. The chicken and nduja fettuccine was SPECTACULAR. We dined with a large party and our server was super great in managing all our needs. Would prioritize coming back to Caramba

    Joel Z.

    I think this is a great place to grab a pizza in the area. We tried the mushroom pizza and the lamb pizza. The mushroom pizza was our favorite for sure. They're about 10 inches each so probably enough for one person each

    20$ pizzas on Tuesday!

    I'd been doing just a little too much eating lately and so my original plan for this meal was to…read morejust order a Caesar salad or a Greek salad, as I wanted something light to eat. When I got here though, it was really hard to stick with that plan cuz I saw all the yummy options on the menu and salad just wasn't sounding so appealing to my taste buds. Usually when I come here, I order one of the David's deals. They're smaller versions of the main courses, but they are really not very light. They still give you tons of food, and I would usually end up very full and still have leftovers to bring home. My mother, bless her soul...she spotted something on the menu called Chaudree and decided she would order that. I looked at the description and it said, " Prawns, mussels, salmon, clams and veggies in a rich and creamy seafood chowder with origins from the South of France. Served with garlic bread." A piece of garlic bread with a bowl of soup. This sounded like a great compromise between salad and the much heavier David's Deal meals. So I decided to order a Chaudree as well. The others at the table ordered roasted lamb, a David's Deal Vegetable Moussaka, and a few appies for the table. We had Caesar salad, Calamari and some Kypriaki Wings to share. So...still got my salad in. I really enjoyed my Chaudree! Been to this restaurant so many times. It was great to finally try something new. Certainly would have never expected to be eating a French dish in a Greek restaurant. It really hit the spot. There was lots of seafood in it. They weren't stingy with the seafood, and it was the perfect compromise for me who had been originally wanting just a salad. This was much more satisfying for my taste buds than a salad, but not as heavy as my usual David's Deal meal, which would have come with rice, potatoes, pita bread (all very filling carbohydrates) and a piece of vegetable moussaka or spanakopita.

    Had a great experience at Kypriaki! They have a dog friendly patio, which is always a huge plus…read more They also have some great monthly deals. We got the calamari appetizer for only $7 during happy hour, and the chicken souvlaki was a really good portion for the price. They also offer beer flights, which is a fun option if you want to try a few different beers. Overall, great food, good value and a really nice patio atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!

    My wife and I love Indian food and when we travel, we enjoy trying different Indian eateries from…read morethe places we visit. Fortunately, it wasn't hard to find a couple Indian restaurants when we visited Whistler, BC. So on our first night there, we got take-out from Indian Masala Bistro. There was a large group of us, so we were able to order a variety of dishes - butter chicken, chicken curry, chicken masala, palak paneer, lamb korma, and a couple other dishes that I don't remember. We also got lots of garlic naan, of course. Unfortunately, their entrees DO NOT come with rice. So you need to order rice separately. (Minus one star for this.) When we ordered, we asked for medium heat level, but we barely noticed any heat (mild disappointment). Despite this, everything was very flavorful. The portion sizes were pretty generous and we had LOTS of leftovers for the next day or two. Located at the Hilton hotel in Whistler Village.

    Ordered a bunch of different dishes for a big group (beers, mango lassi, 6 different types of…read morecurries, rice, naan, etc.) Quality of food was good but wasn't incredible. For example, the pani puri mixture felt a bit dry, and the curry ordered spicy could've been more spicy. Aloo gobhi cauliflower also seemed masked with other things, there could've been more/bigger cauliflower presence in the dish. You're also charged for rice and naan. Presentation on mango lassi was pretty. Service was okay, friendly but nothing to write home about. For example, it was a big group so the dishes were just dropped off on one end and we had to move them ourselves instead of the server placing them at the correct locations. Ambiance was good, with both booth and chair seating. There was no wait for the big group which was nice.

The signage to even find the place in the dark on foot (we walked from a neighbouring hotel) and by car could be better. Once there, plenty of parking (mental note) and a welcoming entrance. Our server was funny and engaging, but perhaps a little flippant. He also had to go back into the kitchen numerous times to check if they had things that were on the menu. They make gyoza in house, and it is one of my favourites. 6 PM reservation and they are out already with barely a soul in the place. Our beverages were pretty good, so we soldiered on at ordered our entrees one grilled halibut, one seafood pasta and two bbq ribs. Once the food arrived I was surprised at how small the halibut was given the price. That was nothing in comparison to the two that ordered the baby back ribs. Normally they fall off the bone when the professionals cook them, not this time. It was fork and knife time to get them off the bone which is totally wrong. I could go on, but you get the idea. I doubt we'd come back. Shame to have a place on the water and then serve food like that.
