Lovely all round experience, nice for a couples dinner. We happened to be there for their fall special tasting menu which was delicious and such an incredible value. We were seated in a little alcove/library which was perfect for us, quaint and comfortable. The service was not as refined as I expected in comparison to their other locations, but it was still good. We will be back again.

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is THE destination for fine dining in Whistler! Francesca warmly greeted us! She recommended the Beef Cheeks. Michael (Mi'kahl) showed us to our table and went out of his way to take our order. He agreed Maryann. Fresh baked Sesame & Rosemary bread! Amazing! Beef Cheeks! Exquisite! RICH! Tender! Every morsel an absolute delight! (Francesca was right!) Beet Salad. So good! So healthy! Octopus. Perfect cooked! The bed of beans and the gorgeous presentation were top notch! 14 Oz Steak. Perfectly medium rare! Brocollini! But the sauce! The sauce was scrumptuous! And the red wine Michael recommended paired perfectly with the steak! Doughnuts w/ Coffee Ice Cream and Fresh Caramel! Maryann was correct! Superb! The food was spectacular! The service exceptional and warm! The ambiance was fabulous! For an epic meal at Whisler, hit Araxi! Thanks Michael, Maryann, and Francesca! Will be back! Woohoo!

We tried all 5 varieties of oysters from the Canadian continent at the Araxi restaurent tonight, our favorites are the SunSeeker and the Beach Comber, both are big and juicy. The beef cheeks were amazing, slow cooked to such tenderness, it just melts. The pumpkin soup was tasty and smooth. The foie gras is a mousse, goes well with brioche The dish we didn't like as much is the risotto: no cheese inside, raw carrots, and too much shrimp. The service was pleasant but the gap between each meal was too long at times. Our server, Ben P. was acceptable. He served us with an air of arrogance, for example, he "threw down" the dessert menu on our table, turn around and left without saying a word, as if we are obligated to order. I would try to avoid him if possible. There are many other nicer servers in this restaurent. Overall, it was a good dinner and we will be back for more fresh local oysters.

4.5 stars Came for their prix fixe menu; food was good but not spectacular. The butternut squash soup may have been my favorite course - soup was nice and rich and the spoonful of oats and creme fraiche was an interactive component that really added a unique texture and combination of flavors. I was disappointed by the duck main - the different components on the dish (fennel, sharp brandied cherries, pecans) just did not work well together and felt more like a collection of disparate flavors rather than a cohesive dish. I was also puzzled by the croquette - I found the texture unpleasant and could not finish it. The space is nice, popular, quite centrally located in the village. Service was adequate.

One of the best dinners I've had lately. Duck Breast, Beef Tartare were my favorites. Highly recommend to visitors

Lived up the hype! We had the prix fixe menu and was great, highly recommend. The lamb and sticky toffee dessert was perfect. Great service as well Wish they advertised there was a kids menu on the website, it's about $20 for a kids meal and they offered coloring paper/crayons too.

One of the hottest restaurants in the village. It's hard to get a reservation so definitely recommend to make advance reservation. We had a late reservation (9pm) on a Friday night and the place was still busy. We ordered off their pre-fix menu. They didn't give you any other option, other than the soup of the day as the first course. Their menu changes and we had the opportunity to taste the corn soup which was amazing. I had the beef tartare as 2nd course and it was really flavorful. My girlfriends had the pate and shrimp cocktail, both were also good. As for our main courses, we tried their: Mushroom Risotto- absolutely flavorful Halibut - cooked perfectly with light sauce Duck - also cooked and seasoned perfectly I really enjoyed the dark chocolate tart and yuzu dessert. Not a fan of the petit four but my girlfriend certainly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Finishing our last night in Whistler and extremely glad we made reservations at Araxi. Our waitress was Taylor and she was super kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure our entire party was taken care of whether it was refilling waters, ensuring proper portions, and timing of the dishes to come out. Beet + okanagan Asian pear salad was refreshingly light and balanced out by the amazing goat cheese. The foie gras parfait was so light and fluffy and paired well with the chutney and port gel. It was our first time having bison tartare, and I enjoyed the texture and flavor. It had a bite but was not overpoweringly gamey. We had the wild scallop, ahi tuna, prawn chirashi which was very fresh and delicious. The seared wild scallop's sauce was amazing!! It was a lemon confit with a miso beurre blanc which if I could drink I would. We each got one of each oyster that they had in stock tonight: barkley peti, chefs creek, island tide, and paradise. The barkley peti was surprisingly meaty and had deep cups. Chef's creek had the best flavor with a slight briny finish that we enjoyed. Island tide was my favorite and overall best tasting and good size. Best oysters we had in Whistler so far but at the cost of about $5 per oyster. For our main dishes we miso marinated sable fish was incredibly tender and so flavorful. It literally melted in your mouth and had little bites of bokchoy, radish, shiitake mushrooms. Also, the broth was a light warm dashi broth that we requested a spoon to drink it! The house made bucatini pasta mentaiko was so rich and creamy. From the sauce to perfectly cooked and coated pasta, it was delightful all around. We also had the mushroom risotto topped with kfc maitake mushrooms. It was good but definitely was over shown by the other dishes.

Champagne or Prosecco alongside oyster and fondue apres ski- yes that will work Upscale vibe, but dress up or casual and you won't be turned out, it's a ski town after all. Dim lighting, but super kind staff. Nice wine selection Apres we had 6 oysters for $20 vs 1 oyster for 5$. Swiss cheese fondue- ok, but not worth 34$ pp with bread, gherkins, Pickles onions. Sablefish was out of this world yummy, light but rich flavorful broth, paired with a Pinot noir, perfect Molton chocolate cake -under a different name, but very good, paired with the suggested port. Salted caramel ice cream. Oh, don't forget to checkout the bathrooms - have to love non US toilets.

Last year's prefix early winter menu was so good we came back to try it again in 2023. Service was very kind but this time the food still was good but just wasn't as impressive as the high bar of last year. For the prix fixe price though it was all still a steal and fun meal. What we got recently: The appetizers were the best: salmon sashimi appetizer was awesome and tuna tataki was also good. Mains: Lamb sirloin was good but undersalted - better than over salted though. Venison was not gamey and but it was almost too tender that the texture was a bit unfamiliar and flavor was a little underwhelming. Dessert: pear dessert was beautifully presented but flavors were just ok but the fav of the two was the chocolate cake. This was delicious!
