Christmas in Whistler, where to dine for dinner? Booked online for Alta Bistro well in advance. Snow and wind outdoors but toasty warm inside. Greeted at the door and seated immediately. Service friendly and efficient. The Winter Menu offered two set 3 course dinner selections. $29/$39. Upgrade was offered for the holiday meal - an extra $6 brought on a trio of ham (pork cheek, shank) with braised red cabbage and mashed potatoes. Two of us started with the Pâté & Charcuterie Board with cheese selection. Very nice selection and the flavours a nice blend. I selected the higher priced menu; three oysters from Fanny Bay served nicely chilled, Pan Fried Octopus and White Prawns were tasty although a little on the oily side, main was the Apple Wood Smoked Arctic Char Filet which was cooked to perfection - might have done nicely on a small bed of mashed with the warm salad on the side. My dining partner had the same but subbed in the ham trio. Food value, excellent. Portions correct, this is a bistro not an American diner. Wine list was comprehensive, many wines by the glass and many more by the bottle. Service for this very busy evening was wonderfully attentive. Would certainly return.
