Think about washing all that down with a cornucopia of fine wines from British Columbia's vaunted vineyards. | |

| Menu Style: | Haute Cosmopolitan |
| Location: | Hilton Resort Hotel, Base of Whistler Mt. |
| The main restaurant playground for the Delta Whistler Resort Hotel, if you don't have the salmon skewered on lemon grass you haven't had B.C. salmon.

| Price Guide: | $$ |
| Menu Style: | French Café |
