Best vegan options on Blackcomb! The Thai curry bowl is awesome. You can get a base of rice or kale (the noodles have egg), tofu for protein, and then the yellow curry sauce. They pile on veggies for everyone! There's also a Mexican bowl that you can get tofu on -- have to ask for no cheese to make it vegan but the vegetarian in our group also likes it. It is a bit crowded (they would do well with more seating), but as a skiier you just gotta know to either eat late or early. Not a problem to find a seat at 11:30am, but it's wildly busy at 12:30pm. If you're waiting for a table and spot people leaving, make sure to ask them if they're leaving and sort of stake your claim on the spot, but don't pressure them into rushing -- it's the nice thing to do! read more

Rendezvous - Poutine plus chicken - Canadian (New) Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

Crowdy but nice spot (there is only another one ;)) Big enough for the many people around. I was surprised about how many choices they had. Loved the view even when we were having lunch during a heavy snow fall. Cozy place to gather and have a bowl of warm soup. It can get busy but we have always found a place to sit. Line inside the food station can be crowdy and slow sometimes. I know it is hard when one is hungry though. Their poutine is really nice. Pair it with a burger :D. All their coffee is pretty good for a mountain. Staff is very nice and friendly. read more

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. read more

Rendezvous - Canadian (New) Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

This place was SO good when we were starving from skiing. They have a lot of gluten free options, including a bun (and they're very careful), so you can get a great burger. They have all kinds of food options, our whole family loved their food (we came back multiple days). I would highly recommend coming here. It is busy but not overwhelmingly. Food doesn't take a long time. I would say that my only complaints are that: it is somewhat expensive and bathrooms were on a different floor (just slightly annoying in ski boots but not a deal breaker). read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

We only tried their pastries and they were so delicious! The almond croissant is a must have!

Rendezvous is a marvelously diverse cafeteria at the top of Blackcomb Mountain. You can choose from Ramen soups, Thai food, various Poutines, soups, a grill, and breakfast options. You can also purchase beer, which is nice while looking out across the mountains. I was really impressed with the variety of options. My wife ordered a grill chicken sandwich with bacon and I ordered a classic Poutine with a IPA from Nova Scotia in a tall boy can. It really hit the spot--warm, salty, with cheese curds, and plenty of hops to cleanse my palate. Bravo. My rating may be edging high because I was so happy to find warm food after a day of snowboarding, but then again, most folks at Rendezvous will be in the same lot, so a five is fair! The view alone is worth a five! read more

Think Roundhouse on Blackcomb. It's big, it gets super crowded, the food's the same as everywhere else, plus the staff here seems to be considerably ruder than every other restaurant season after season. The entire place also just looks rundown. Of all the restaurants on the mountain, this is one that I just refuse to go to. read more

I've eaten some pretty miserable food on top of mountains, at ski resorts in general, so it's a huge bonus when you're skiing at Whistler/Blackcomb and you have the Rendezvous to rely on. The wild mushroom soup and caramel cinnamon rolls are just killer. Fries, portabello sandwiches are pretty good. Veggie burgers are okay (it's not fake meat... it's a bean/veggie mashup, which I usually loathe). Mostly, it's crowded. But I hear all the hilltop lodges are crowded. So be prepared for that. For context, I haven't been to any other restaurants on Blackcomb, so this could be the worst. But really, if this is as bad as it gets, then I'll take a spanking. Oh, they serve poutine (a Canadian delicacy featuring french fries smothered in cheese curd and gravy). Which I didn't eat, but I saw a lot of people up there devouring it. Next time. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Rendezvous - Famous Caesar Bloody Mary X 2 - Canadian (New) Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

This place is conveniently located up top between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. My butt, toes, and fingers were freezin, so I needed a hot cocoa baaad. The place was packed! Why is everyone's butts, toes, and fingers frozen at lunch hour?? My daughter had chicken fingers & fries, and I had brocolli cheddar soup and a cup of hot cocoa. YES!! Then I saw interesting meal, fries with cheese curds and gravy called poutine? Wow, someone needs to do a black diamond mogul's run after lunch to burn off those calories. Wait, every table has them. Okay, gonna have to try that instead of the soup next time! We didn't get a chance to try out different meals, because the line was loong, except for the hotdog/chicken fingers. I had food envy on the pasta dish. We love our table location, primo real estate. Next to the heater, and window, and definitely great spot to take awesomeness pictures. Overall, it's a thumbs up. Just come earlier to beat the lunch crowd. Enjoy Whistler/Blackcomb!! read more

Pretty good options considering its on top of the blackcomb mountain. Expensive yes and portions aren't too big either but having a variety of hot food when you need it the most is what you pay for. Amazing views of the snow capped peaks, solar coaster and gandolas. Order Thai inspired bowl with rice and green curry- I had two as I was super hungry. My partner had the burrito which was pretty good as well. The gift shop inside has plenty of warm jackets to buy but comes with a hefty price tag so dress up warm even in summers. read more

When does poutine not taste good on this mountain? Never. Winter or summer... always so satisfying! I had also ordered a salad to share from the taco counter which is a full meal in itself. So many toppings and a generous portion of meat on top. read more

I've been coming here for years. They've done a renovation which is nice, and have some cool new soda machines and generally the food is pretty good. However, they have changed their French Fries, and that is tragic!!!! They used to have the best fries, and the new ones aren't even close. Maybe they look healthier, but we're talking about a big downgrade. Our whole family was fairly dejected after eating here today as we had been talking about, and looking forward to the fries all week. Please bring back the old fries. Please. I'll update my review if you do. I'm holding out hope that the other mountain restaurants haven't changed too, but I'm worried. Thanks, A multi-year season pass holder and family. read more

Solid for cafeteria food. Chicken wrap was tasty. Good vegetarian chili. Loved the breadbowls. Grilled chicken was done well. Prices a little steep. read more

Get ready for cafeteria-chic on the peak of Blackcomb! In the early season, not all of your on-the-mountain restaurants and lodges are open yet so Rendezvous could potentially be one of your only options. Located just below the Peak 2 Peak gondola station on Blackcomb, Rendezvous is simple to get to. It is a tad dated yes but when noon rolls around and you'r hungry, it suits your stomach just fine! The day we visited Rendezvous, it was crowded, but not insane. I had some decent pizza and a side of fries to full my empty stomach. Of course one should expect the prices to be a bit high, this is Whistler after all. The bathrooms are downstairs and nice and big so you won't have to wait. I have seen many ski resorts with sketch restrooms so this one is a relief! Service is friendly and even with the crowds, the check out lines are a cinch. The ski storage area is a bit out of view but get a lock to put your mind to ease. Next time I'm on Blackcomb I'll be sure to give their Poutine a try! read more

Rendezvous gets an extra star for nostalgia. I've been drinking their hot chocolates and filling up on their hamburgers and chicken noodle soups for the last (oh my) 15 years. (I'm really not that old, my parents just put my on skis when I was relatively young). Ski lodge food is always kind of meh for ouchie kinds of prices, but the soups are always hot, the burgers always juicy, and the hot chocolates always creamy. I don't think I've ever left here NOT ready to tackle the slopes again. Plus, I saw Pamela Martin (the CTV news anchor) here! read more

There is seating on the main floor and downstairs of the cafeteria. The best part was heaters along with walls which was nice to dry off/heat up some gloves! It can get packed but it didn't seem to matter if we came after the lunch or during the lunch rush, it was always packed. People come and go quickly so it's not a problem. It's simple cafetria food, lots of soup/stew options. It's convenient, and was always packed even after we waited to come back, we still managed to find seats. They also don't mind if you just come in there and eat snacks you brought. read more

I love getting breakfast here before a long day on the mountain! Their service is fantastic and are great at making small talk to keep the guests entertained. The food itself is typically pretty good. Over the years they constantly change the menu, personally my favorite in the past here was the french toast. Unfortunately they since have tried to uniformly serve the same breakfast foods at each lodge and the toast got cut in the process. However the vegetarian sandwiches are delicious (I had the one from roundhouse but I believe its the same). I also tried the pancakes here and was overloaded by food. I could have easily split this plate with two others, considering I was only able to finish half of it. They definitely should have piled more fruit on top of it, but I got around this by asking for a fruit salad as a side. The coffee place inside also has a great selection of choices and the prices are typical Whitler (can't complain when you're on such a beautiful mountain). When I get my food I make sure I get a perfect seat to view the village and valley below. It's hard to beat this view on a clear day and it's easy to get lost in its glory while eating your food. Once I was stuffed I hit the mountain for a great day on the slopes. At lunch this place gets packed, seating is hard to find and I recommend coming even later than 1 because of the seating availability. At lunch I had the Mushroom soup, it was beyond delicious. A bit pricey of course, but the flavor was spot on and perfect for a mid day snack. Don't forget to hit the glove warming station downstairs before you head back for the slopes! read more

This is 3 stars for general food rating but it's 4 stars by mountain food standard. For ski resort food, this is definitely better than ones that we've had at other mountains! I also like that it was very fast. We arrived at 11:30 on Sun and we were able to get our food within 5 mins! The burger was solid and i also like their Thai inspired dish. I like that they rotate their menu, I think it was ramen before and now they do the Thai inspired food. read more

Had to write a review as we were so shocked at how good the food was at the lodge on the mountain... :-) Usually, we resign ourselves to crap food for lunch when we are skiing, but the Rendezvous Lodge was exceptional... lots of freshly made soups... the moroccan pea soup was fab and the veggie chili was one of the best we've ever had! Bravo! I wish all ski lodges were this good... read more

Ski resort food is never the best, but this was among the best mid-slope food we've had. You can get over from whistler really easy with the peak to peak gondola. The ramen was really good when we added chili /garlic sauce. It also had pork belly, not chicken like some lower quality places. We also had the bacon cheese burger which was good, not amazing. However the fries were fresh cut and delicious! We had lunch at the whistler peak yesterday and it did not even compare. Bland and quite disappointing. read more

This was our home-base on the mountain during our weekend in Whistler. Rendezvous has everything you'd need while on the slopes: lockers to store a lunch, excellent hot food (did someone say chili, in a bread bowl!?), a small store to pick up toe warmers and extra gloves for those super cold days on the slopes, and apparently one of the best 'on the mountain' restaurants ever (Christines). If you are hitting up Blackcomb for the day, be sure to drop in for a quick coffee with Baileys break or even lunch! read more

The food isn't anything to rave about, but then again I haven't had mountain top ski resort food elsewhere that I would rave about. Rendezvous is conveniently located, provides always-reliable food. If you stop there when everyone else does, the line-ups can be long but they move you along efficiently. Reasonable prices, considering they have to haul everything up there. I am thinking of that giant burrito, it feeds two easily, even two hungry skiers. read more

Nice restaurant at the hill top. Not crowded at all in April. They have some good options to eat - Thai, Mexican, American.

Whistler has hands down the best dining options on the mountain. Healthy, fresh, local, vegetarian, and even gluten free options. Given that this "cafeteria" type restaurant is at the top of a mountain I understand the price. I loved the roasted vegetable chili, so good! Bring your own water/pop/snacks in a day pack but stop in here for a hot meal. Yes it gets crowded, but tables turn fast and it's community seating so not a long wait. If you don't like crowds, eat at 11am or after 1pm. I also love that whistler recycles and composts even at the top of the mountain, wish more places in the US were that way. read more
