Hunter Gather

Top choice in Whistler


A noisy but cheerful emporium of local food, this new place has quickly become known for its smoked meats (the ‘hunter’ part) and local veg (the ‘gather’ part). Relish the beef brisket (smoked for 18 hours) and the golden-brown Pemberton potatoes, pan-fried to a state of crispy deliciousness. Punters must order and pay up-front and then grab a pew.

The scene inside is all action, from the busy open-to-view kitchen to tipsy diners sharing backcountry stories over long wooden tables. Good selection of craft beers too.
