    Much better than Whistler's roundhouse on account of the crowds and the feeling. The poutines, the noodle bowls, the Thai curry bowl are all magnificent. And of course, if you've turned your legs into mush you can take a leisurely break amidst splendid scenery. And if you want table service, you have Christine's. And for me, the availability of a stiff double espresso to avoid a carb low on the slopes is magnificent.

    The Rendezvous Restaurant and Shop atop Blackcomb Mountain
    Michael S.

    If you are going to rendezvous on Blackcomb Mountain, you'll likely meet up at Rendezvous Lodge. It is the mountain-top food court for warmth, coffee, grub, and $110 hoodies. All of which were welcome discoveries after riding the snow lift up from the village without wearing proper attire in the summer ... because it's still cold and windy on Blackcomb year-round, duh. So, I was actually very thankful for Rendezvous Lodge's little gift shop selling Canadian-red hoodies with a big maple leaf logo and Blackcomb Mountain branding. We were cold and buying a couple hoodies for $200+ was (probably) better than going back down the mountain and up again. Besides, I'll have my "$100 Hoodie" from Whistler as a pricey memory. We also warmed up with a couple lattes from the espresso bar and some pastries. They were actually decent ... especially for not having any competition on the mountain. In the food court, we spied cafeteria sections for burgers, salads, tacos, and Asian-inspired food. On Blackcomb Mountain, Rendezvous Lodge is the place to rendezvous with your friends for warmth, an espresso, some food, or one over-priced memorable piece of clothing.

    Ramen and Green curry and peanut butter cookie. Get the green curry!

    Alright let's be real, this isn't a 4-star establishment when you compare it to other restaurants, but all things considered, this place is really good and one of my favorite lodges to stop for lunch when I'm in Whistler. The Thai green curry bowl - yum!! Their Thai-inspired bowl offers your choice of (chicken/pork belly/tofu) protein, (eggplant/kale...) veggie, and a base (noodle/rice/salad). I would recommend the chicken green curry bowl, served with a mix of all veggies, and on top of half rice/half kale. The green curry sauce is savory and satiating. The pork belly is a little too fatty, so I prefer the chicken. They also give you a ton of rice, so I prefer ordering it half rice, half kale. I really appreciated that they let you customize and mix multiple types of proteins and veggies. Skip the ramen - the noodles are overcooked, there is just a bit of way-too-fatty pork belly, and the broth is lackluster. p.s. The cookies at this location is not the best. My favorite was a white chocolate macadamia nut one in a clear plastic bag which can be found in select lodges - not sure why they have two vendors making cookies!

    If the lift ticket wasn't already expensive enough, prepare to bleed some more. The facility was decently sized in the 1990s, but now it is simply too small. It took my friends and I 15 minutes to find a spot. If you don't mind eating outside, there is a patio in the back that is a lot more empty than the rest of the establishment. The food here is ridiculously expensive. You're looking at $12-20 for most items. The only way I was able to keep in the single digits was by having 2 slices of pizza ($8.25), with water. The slices were pretty small too. One bonus - there's free Wi-Fi there. Yay!

    Rendezvous poutine

    The Rendezvous is conveniently located near the Peak 2 Peak gondola spanning between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, making it one of the most highly trafficked locations during lunch time. Finding seating here was absolutely insane during peak hours, and our hero only managed to find a spot on the lower floor. As for the food, it's fairly average, but everything tastes good when our hero is hungry after a couple hours of skiing. The burritos here are huge, and they have poutine as well! In addition to food, they serve a variety of bottled beer here, which easily facilitates inebriated skiing. PROS: - Glove drying machines located on the lower level. - Location is easy to get to from either Whistler or Blackcomb. CONS: - Way too crowded.

    Taco Salad with Fish
    Vincent K.

    Sure, it's not as great as Roundhouse. Although I heard Glacier was better, but their selection wasn't too bad. I split a Mountain size hearty mushroom and Taco Fish Salad (http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/xm2KAUSN7JJUyKMevAkGEA/l) with my sister and it was perfect. The place does get crowded, but we were lucky to snag a table for 5 quick. The food as I said in my Rendevous review is better than Lake Tahoe for a ski resort, so I gotta give it up for these places.

    $14 pulled pork poutine!
    John V.

    It's kinda hard to review a place like this but I'm gonna anyway. Overall the food is ok and the view is one of a kind. If the food is better, it would have gotten a higher rating. We can't really do much (i.e. complain) about price and it's kinda fair as competition is slim and the restaurant is on top of a mountain! Go for: a break and enjoy a view that most people in the world would never get a chance to Don't go for: if you're hungry and you only got $5, as that only gets you a tea or fruit cup or gum. Water is free :)

    All food on the mountain is expensive but the burritos from here will fuel you up for whatever you are doing.
    Andy L.

    The Rendezvous on Blackcomb mountain has a sit down restaurant named Christine's but I'm usually on the mountain doing something active and I don't want to spend too much time eating. I usually go to the cafeteria where they have several side by side stalls each serving different food. The grill served burgers and fries and next to that they have poutine and soups/stews. This time I chose the taco stand. I was going to order the three taco meal which you can order with beef, pork or fish. While standing in line I noticed a bunch of customers in front of me ordering the burrito. It is absolutely gigantic (see pictures from other reviews) and some people were ordering it with a mix of beef and pork. I ordered one and it was great. It was definitely a two hander and messy. I was so hungry I polished it off - the whole thing - and then I realized I should have taken a picture first - doh! I do that way too often. You can customize your fillings so that's a bonus too. As with any food on the mountain the price tag is expensive but compared to other options I think this is a good choice.

    Famous Caesar Bloody Mary X 2
    Amber A.

    High end mountain top cocktails and food? You betcha! We had a good time, maybe too good a time, here! We sat at bar and chatted with the great bar staff. I had the special Crab Risotto and 2 of the Caesar bloody Mary's. I could have two more too but had to ski back down. They are delicious. Great beer choices too!

We tried a variety of dishes across both visits, and every single one was fantastic. The balance of flavors and the way different cultures are blended together is seriously impressive. Some standout dishes: the truffle ceviche was incredible, and the black tiger prawn causa had a sauce that was absolutely fantastic. The tallarín de marisco is a must-order, we loved it so much we ordered it twice. We also had the salmon anticucho and Colombian arepa, and everything was fire. Everything tasted fresh, well thought out, and perfectly executed. You can tell a lot of care goes into each dish. If you're visiting Whistler, Balam is a must-visit. It was easily one of the best restaurants on our trip to Whistler.

It seemed like a great deal - 5 things for like $7-8 but beware that each one is TINY so you'll have to order a lot if you are hungry. Still great quality. - The anticuchos were amazing. The shrimp one in particular is really really tasty, full of flavour. The chicken one is good too with a crispy piece of something. - there is a plantain croquette with amazing sauce. Great texture and it melts in your mouth while retaining crispiness. Tiny though. - the pork tacos are great. Great flavour and I love the chimichurri sauce. - the fries are only OK. A cheese dip but otherwise not much flavour. Would love to come back for a fuller meal.

The inside looked very cool in a completely different way. It was cozy but modern, not in a rustic way. I can imagine how nice it would be in winter! 2. Food & Drink: literally no notes. Love how the cocktails are organized by flavor profile. My husband and I loved what we ordered. We also loved all the food we ordered, but the seafood tower is a must have, as well as the chocolate lava cake! 3. Service: top notch!

Would highly recommend for a special occasion!

    It was a very disappointing experience. We haven't visited Whistler in years, I was looking forward…read moreto this trip because we had booked what I thought was the top rated restaurant there but boy was I ever wrong. Their geoduck and clam pasts tasted okay but the serving size was laughably small, 2 large bites to perhaps 4 small bites at best. The worst thing was the overcooked geoduck, they're basically large clams and anyone who's cooked and eaten clams will know that overcooked clams turn rubbery and the few bits of geoduck were as rubbery as a rubber duck. The same applies to their Roasted Ling Cod, unless you enjoy overcooked ling cod, avoid at all costs. Amongst our group we ordered 3 New Your Steaks, we ordered medium rare, to their credit they were all cooked a perfect medium rare. Trouble was they were all way over salted. Too much salt to make them enjoyable, frankly I've had much better steaks at Denny's. As part of their prix fixe menu they had smoked black cod which I normally enjoy. Here they mashed the black cod into a chip dip which they served with their house made potato chips, While the dip was okay as far as taste goes, the chips they served last week on Wednesday night were all stale, not yet rancid but definitely stale. If the manager is reading this, I suggest he take a few and taste them himself. Prices weren't out of line since this is a resort area and restaurant pretty much can count on a "captive" clientele. However value wise this place should not be anywhere near the top of your go-to list.

Araxi did not disappoint, though I'm disappointed in myself for missing their apres deal with a discounted fondue using cave aged gruyere! Definitely reserve ahead of time during peak season. They start you with fresh herbed ciabatta and sourdough with olive oil and butter, and both breads were great but especially so for our hungry kids. They had the most perfectly sharpened quality colored pencils and a coloring/activity sheet for the kids, which was much appreciated! Drinks: - The Cure: talisker 10, pineapple, mezcal float - Fig Jam: fig infused mezcal, apple cider, fig jam, spices - great to start They also had a good wine list, and they even had some local wines by the half bottle, which was a nice option, so we got a local Pinot. Food: - Oysters: island tide and kusshi, served with traditional mignonette and horseradish - Ricotta gnocchi: with wild mushrooms, cheesy lemon fonduta, crispy sage - a smaller portion but good for sharing as an appetizer - Pacific crab and matane shrimp cake: no fillers, perfectly seared, with a great local pear and avocado salsa verde - Seared scallops: perfectly seated, with local sunchokes, crispy prosciutto, grilled bok choy, xharred pepper romesco - Ora king salmon: similar to the kids' one but dressed up, with roasted beats, beet and ginger salsa, goat cheese arancini - House made bucatini: mentaiko style with spicy cod roe, humobldt squid, breadcrumbs. This had a nice kick, and the pasta texture was great - Kids' fish: seared salmon with risotto and bok choy - a generous portion of perfectly seared salmon! Dessert: - Valrhona chocolate fondant: warm gooey chocolate cake with tahitian vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate crisps Service was great and very kid friendly (including copper mule cups for their water!).

We ordered the following dishes: Country Game Terrine, Red Deer Venison, and Five Spice Duck. Everything was just okay. 2.5 star experience. The venison was my favorite but it didn't wow me, just cooked well with a decent portion size. The five spice duck would have been much better with a sauce to bring the ingredients together, overall the dish was just a lot of sweet, with the duck breast on the tougher side.
