The culinary cornerstone in the heart of Whistler Village, Araxi enjoys a long held international reputation for excellence in food, wine and hospitality.

As an early pioneer of farm to table dining, Executive Chef James Walt’s seasonally focused menus celebrate the excellence of locally sourced ingredients.
Walt’s innovative and skillfully executed dishes–from savoury starters through delicious desserts–deliver intelligent compositions and unforgettable flavours.

Centrally located in the main square of the village, Araxi boasts a contemporary dining room coloured in warm earth tones – and a sleek Oyster Bar that exudes the passion and craftsmanship that lie at the heart of the restaurant. The lively lounge, which features a year-round indoor/outdoor bar, is Whistler’s favourite gathering place for both locals and visitors alike.

    I took my wife to Araxi for her 40th birthday as it has always been one of our favorite spots to go to in Whistler. Sadly this is probably our last visit to Araxi. I had called ahead after making the reservation online to let them know we would be celebrating a milestone birthday but aside from the happy birthday by our hostess the rest of our experience was extremely disappointing. First off, we were seated between two large groups which made it very loud and busy around our table. Then there was zero acknowledgment of the long delay between our appetizers and our main course. The place was busy but it shouldn’t have taken over 45 minutes between courses. The worst part of this was the m anager was fully aware of this long delay as he walked past our table multiple times and noticed there was nothing on it. To top it off he came over at one point rested his arm on the back of my chair to chat with the table behind us for a while. All this aside there was nothing done to acknowledge my wife’s birthday even though other tables around us received cakes and candles. All in this was a terrible experience for an evening that I had hoped would be special and memorable for my wife. I should note that I waited over a week to post this as I was waiting for Araxi to respond to my note that I had sent them but I haven’t heard anything yet.

    Always our favourite restaurant; we often make the drive From Vancouver for a night out with her and dinner at Araxi. As with all restaurants in this part of the world experience can vary based on available service staff at the time but Araxi is always the most consistent of any restaurant we frequent. This time we had special guests from Los Angeles; the service was exquisite. the hostess found The perfect table for us and asked us if we would be willing to wait a few extra minutes. It was well worth the wait. the food was exquisite. Definitely an A+ experience for us this time around. Thank you
