Bar Oso

Great space / great restaurant. I love this style of food, where you can experience many small dishes to get a great cross-section of different textures and styles and just great nibbles all around. I definitely recommend the charcuterie board—get the half meat/half cheese so you can enjoy it all. We just had mocktails, but they were interesting and refreshing. The spreadable salami is definitely a star. Looking forward to our next visit!

This is our favorite spot! 😍 Just a beautiful establishment, exceptionally curated staff that go well-beyond for their customers. The salted cod melted in my mouth, the shrimp were divine. Our drinks were VERY good, and the ambiance and company were absolutely perfect. We will definitely be coming back 💖💖💖

We were able to waltz in on a Friday at 7pm. Maybe because we were a table of 2. Cocktails were delicious and so were the tapas. Worth a try but it's not a cheap place.

We stopped for dinner on our first night in Whistler. We had the pinchos & garlic prawns starters and they were delicious. For the main course we opted for the full charcuterie board, which was equally as tasty. Service was great too. Would recommend.

Beautiful bar, it’s upscale, modern and the atmosphere is adult and high energy. Really nice cocktails and service at the bar. The food is tapas style so smaller bites but I found it a little overpriced for the amount and quality of the food. Would definitely go back for cocktails alone and the great atmosphere.

My partner and I were really looking forward to trying Bar Osu, but unfortunately, the experience was terribly disappointing. While tapas are meant to be small plates, the portions here are absolutely tiny—barely enough for one person, let alone sharing. Each dish averages $20-25, which feels very overpriced for the size and quality. We were recommended the octopus dish, which is usually a highlight at any Spanish tapas restaurant. Sadly, it was a letdown: the octopus was rubbery on the outside and soggy and slimy on the inside. The potatoes served with it tasted like something microwaved—very strange and unappetizing. The beef tartare was also bland and lacked any real flavor. On top of that, the atmosphere was not what you would expect from an upmarket bar. There were children being entertained, which really took away from the experience. Overall, we left feeling very disappointed and confused about the hype. I wouldn’t recommend Bar Osu if you’re looking for authentic, well-executed tapas or a refined dining experience.

Unreal Atmosphere & Exceptional Cocktails – A Must-Visit in Whistler! Oso Bar is hands down one of the most incredible spots in Whistler. The crowd is upscale, the ambiance is electric, and the energy is absolutely unmatched. The location is prime, right in the heart of it all, making it the perfect place to start or end your night. The cocktails? Next level. The Oso Sour is a must-try, perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor, while the Firecracker Margarita brings just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting. Every sip feels like an experience. If you're looking for a place that exudes style, sophistication, and an unreal vibe, Oso Bar is it. Highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning food and atmosphere. Great service and very attentive serving staff. 100% recommend Bar also for a truly amazing dining experience.

My wife and I visited on a whim this evening, without reservation and am glad we did. We sat at the bar, which was entertaining to watch the charcuterie and other things being prepared before us. My wife enjoyed a couple of glasses of red, and I enjoyed an NA ipa. The beet salad was a noteworthy start, followed by the iberico selection charcuterie (highly recommend) and the lamb albondigas was wonderful (highly recommend). The service and ambience were excellent, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would come here again and would recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy some modern Spanish cuisine.

We stopped in twice. The first time for dinner and drinks. We tried 5-6 items and loved them all. Many said the cauliflower was their fave. Not sure how they prepare it as it seems like it's compressed or something? Anyway, it's delish. Appreciate that they had several veg options on the menu. Truly felt like we scratched the surface. Between 4 of us we dug pretty deeply into the gin and tonic menu. Loved the pretty garnishes with each new drink and the fun and interesting things they had on the menu, including a gorgeous Stout. Minus one star for the poor service we had the next night when stopping by for a nightcap. We were seated but apparently no server was assigned our section? We were at the bar but even the bartenders ignored us. Finally someone stocking plates noticed we were being ignored and put our order in. Later we flagged down the gal who dropped off our drinks and she commandeered a machine to check us out. A manager stopped us on the way out to apologize but it was still just a weird experience. Anyway, we didn't make it back this trip but probably would again in the future.

The service was extremely poor. Our order was missing many items and when we asked they initially claimed they had been delivered. After objecting, they agreed there had been a problem with the ticketing system Furthermore when we initially put our name in we were quoted 45 min and it took almost 2 hours because many tables "over stayed their time". Well other restaurants seem to manage that. Not recommended. Not coming back.

Been to this place a dozen times. It was remodeled in the last year and the size has doubled. Still a decent place for drinks (although it was amazing place for cocktails before). Seem to have lost a couple of the creative mixologists. Food on the other hand has expanded and improved! Today took the opportunity to try out the prefix 3 course for $29. The pork belly was amazing. The menu changes weekly it looks like. Dessert was Santiago cake/ almond with poached pear that was a great combo. Got the Santury Roku gin/tonic. Was quite clean tasting but nothing to write home about. Service was great as always including the maitreD at the front. Attentive, informative, knowledgeable and pitched in to help.

We were excited about tapas but were very underwhelmed. For the price, meh. It was good just nothing that blew our minds. We saved the beef short ribs for last and it tasted more like a chuck roast, solidifying our opinion of everything being overpriced. We enjoyed our drinks though. Maybe best for drinks and apps but wouldn't recommend for dinner. Service was decent, sometimes hard to find our server. The ambience is great!

My favorite restaurant in Whistler. Our fave tapas were the lamb meatballs and veal cheeks. Favorite cocktail is Oso sour and core values. Love their new location and how everything is centered around the bar. Service was terrific and enjoyed watching the crafting of the cocktails.

Trendy, yet casual spot with some tasty tapas options! We came on a Fri night just before 5:30 and there was already a wait for the two of us. It turned out to be about 15 mins. One slightly annoying experience.....they texted that our table was ready and when we came to get seated....they said they needed to wait for the prior people to get up and leave. What? Why text us the table is ready when it's not? Our seats were at the corner of the bar and we enjoyed them as we had good visibility to the place and got rapid service from the bartenders. They had a solid IPA option with the 4 Winds ($9) which was excellent. We started out with the Spanish Olives ($9) and Iberico Ham Skewer ($8) and they were both spot on. We moved onto to the Lamb Albondigas ($19), Chorizo Sausage ($17) and Berenjuenas con Miel ($12) with a side of House Baked Bread for dipping in the red pepper sauce that came with the meatballs. My favorite was the chorizo and my son liked the crispy egg plant along with the warm house bread. Service from the bar staff was super friendly and prompt. We really enjoyed our experience and would come back again!

This place looks like it has great vibe and following so we we canceled our Araxi reservations to give Tapas a go, we were underwhelmed, missed my Araxi. No reservations, means if you are a larger group like we were either sit up lined up at the bar or in a line at the window, okay for couples but hard to get a table for a cozy tapas at a table and conversation with your mates without a long undetermined wait. The ambience, receptionist and our waiter were great. The food was unimpressive given the price. Not bad but nothing wowed us except the beef Tartar was the only thing that wowed. Still thinking about the missed Araxi.

The biggest takeaway from this review is that even though this spot is unique, it is not worth the hype and leaves much to be desired in terms of food quality and service. First, getting a table here is a nightmare. Our experience with the host and communication regarding our table was disrespectful and unprofessional. We had entered our name on the wait list for a table of 4. From the beginning, the host could not provide any reasonable wait time. One conversation, an hour. The next, 30 mins. Later, after an hour waiting, she told us another hour. I honestly don't mind a long wait if the host is upfront about it. To hold us over, we ended up getting a snack from a nearby spot. When we received a text that our table was ready and that we had to return to the bar in 10 mins, I replied back immediately that we wouldn't be able to come right away as we were finishing food at our current place and that they could move us down the list. The host texted back that we needed to make changes in person. One person in our group quickly walked back. She returned to the bar within the 10 minute mark to find out that the host had removed our name entirely (!!) with no warning since we "didn't respond to the text" even though we were literally on the way to talk in-person. This all transpired in less than 10 minutes. The lack of compassion or sympathy from the hostess was truly the worst part. When we finally got seated and tried the food it was fine but honestly underwhelming considering the abundance of 5 star reviews and the hype/wait time of this place. For the experience that I was paying for, I expected to be blown away by the quality of the flavors but was left disappointed. Tortilla was unflavorful and dense. Croquets were salty and unidentifiable in taste. Even the olives, which should be an easy source, were too fibrous. The wait staff though, was very great. One of our members was gluten intolerant and our server was very accommodating with gluten free bread and adjustments as necessary. Thank you to the patience and kindness of the wait staff! Overall, I'm not saying this is the worst place ever, but curb your expectations and be realistic that you're paying for an ambiance and the location of Whistler and not necessarily the quality of food.

This place is in the heart of Whistler village. The scallop crudo was so great that if it was the only menu item I ate I may have given this place 5 stars. We also had a ceviche with mixed seafood that was good but ho hum after that stand out crudo. Olives we ordered were good and the cheese plate we ordered was fine if not a bit bland and boring ( to be honest nothing special so I might skip it and go for a more interesting item such as the beef tartare or tuna poke. Service was friendly and efficient. Restaurant is sleek, dark, and had sort of a wine bar feel. We felt we fit in wearing our casual clothes even though the restaurant felt a bit upscale. Pricy but I guess it's to be expected when dining in a ski village

I was really excited for Bar Oso and we had a nice time here. For drinks alone I'd probably rate it 4 stars, but the food was lackluster. If I could do it again, I'd probably come here just for drinks because the cocktail menu is varied and impressive. I will say, the vibes here are great -- feels very chic, upscale, and trendy, but not in a pretentious/stuffy/white tablecloth way. So I guess the best word to describe my experience here was inconsistent, but if I do ever end up back in Whistler, I'll give it another shot. We came here at around 8 on a Thursday night. Bar Oso is one of the few top restaurants in town that doesn't take reservations so we got hit with a one-hour wait and put our names on the list. Thankfully the wait ended up being more like 45 minutes so we hurried over from where we were killing time to sit at the bar. One thing I love about many Spanish/tapas spots is that they'll often have a separate drink menu for gin and tonics. I often find that it's hard to make a gin and tonic that special and fun, but the options here are fantastic. I ended up getting the one with Sheringham Seaside Gin + Fever Tree Indian Tonic which was delicious, honestly thanks to the gin which was unique. Citrusy and a little briny somehow. Made for a more complex sip. I loved it. As a martini lover I also had to get the Sea to Sky Martini (gin mare, tanqueray, noilly prat extra dry vermouth fino sherry) which was solid. Delicate and well-balanced. I finished later in the night (some friends met us after dinner) with the Core Values (suntory toki, charred apple, demerara sugar, beeswax, angostura) which was like a smoky, rich, sweet old fashioned variation. Also solid, but the G&T was the clear winner. The food was a letdown for us. Some dishes were pretty good, others were plain meh. It all felt uninspired. But the prices here are fair and maybe it was an off night, considering all of the rave reviews I've seen. Or perhaps we didn't order the right things. Eats, below: BC Endive + red wine poached pear w/ valdeon blue cheese dressing caramelized pecans: B Probably our best dish of the night but it was laughably small for a salad, even at a tapas place. Nothing remarkable but still good. Love an endive salad in the winter months. Tuna poke (red tuna, sesame, chillies): B- This dish, on the other hand, was larger than I expected. The tuna was definitely fresh and the flavors were fine, just a little boring. Shishito peppers (oven roasted, romesco, smoked sea salt): B Basic shishitos, don't have much else to say. If you like shishitos and they're a go-to tapas order for you like they are for us, definitely worth considering. Gambas al ajillo w/ prawns, garlic, chili, olive oil: C These was the biggest disappointment for us. For starters, the shrimp were very tiny, like what you might see in fried rice. There were only a few of them, and they were bland. Gambas are a staple at any tapas restaurant and if any dish should be perfected, it's this one.

Must try tapas, very well structured menu, the service is excellent, the staff super friendly. Beautiful room with warm atmosphere and beautiful bar

My god. This place was delicious!!! If you're thinking of an elevated dinner that not only looks good but tastes amazing? This is it. The ambiance is sophisticated and beautiful. The smells when you walk in... you know this place is going to taste amazing. We started off with the house baked bread and local roasted beets which were good. We loved the whipped goat cheese and felt it complimented it so well. Followed by the fresh charcuterie board (house-made) came with duck liver parfait (DECADENT PERFECTION) , pheasant pate (unique and unexpected), rabbit rillette (good but did not impress as much as the others), smoked ham hock terrine (good and more "normal" of the board meats). The charcuterie board inspired us to order the montaditos: piquillo pepper, matane shrimp, sobrasada + honey, and 3 duck liver parfait. All were good but we all agree the star of the show was once again the duck liver parfait: rich, creamy, and complimented by the candied orange zest. Tricky to share but doable with enough finesse. We were pretty content with all the food but still had some more dishes coming out. The scallop crudo was okay but was overshown by the ceviche mixto + lobster with wild scallops, prawns, hamachi!! All those flavored so well with a citrus forward based with aji amarillo giving it that yellow tint. Amazing. Beef tartare, amaaazing in combination with truffle dressing and cured egg yolks to top it off. We ordered both the ceviche and beef tartare an additional 2 dishes because it was so good. Sadly the second time around there was way less cured egg yolk but still good regardless. The lamb albondigas was moist and melted in your mouth, and the sauce that accompanied it... I would love to swim in it or at least dip the house made bread into it. The octopus was soft and tender and was so yummy. I think I could have lived without the rolled pork belly but loved the gigante beans that came with it as well as the sauce. The berenjenas con miel was crispy eggplant with honey & sesame seeds so good and perfectly sized, I could probably keep popping these into my mouth. We enjoyed the quick service and incredibly sweet waiters and hostess. Everything was GREAT, I salivate still thinking about it. I do recommend and plan to come again!

Service and servers were great. Food was totally mediocre, flavorless, nothing special.

Really interesting cocktails, beautiful ambiance and great service. I highly recommend!

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, setting the stage for a fantastic evening. The menu offered a delightful array of tapas, each bite bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, with the staff being both friendly and knowledgeable. They guided us through the menu, helping us choose the perfect combinations for our group. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste truly elevated the overall experience.

Absolutely phenomenal food and even better service!!!! I have not had such great food in years!!

Great food and unparalleled service! Lovely and lively ambiance! Definitely recommend even if just coming for a drink at the bar.

What a great experience at this Spanish inspired tapas place in Whistler. There wasn't a bite we did not like. We absolutely loved the basque cheesecake, and will return for it. Small plates allows you to eat as much or as little as you wish!

Amazing atmosphere! Came here just my boyfriend and I; we had a perfect meal with courses small enough that we were able to to try a lot of the menu!

Great spot! Modern feel, progressive menu and well thought out wine list with fair pricing. Many tapas are individual - think $5+ for a few bites but some are bigger. Meatballs delicious, Bravas on point and crispy. Sat at the bar and though busy, great service. Not too loud but good energy. My wish list (probably not practical): Some sort of Spanish rice even if not a full on paella. Other/different cheese option(s) - very basic choices.

I can't recommend this place enough! It's a party in your mouth whatever you are eating! The first day we walked by I told my husband this is a good spot. I can tell. Tapas and wine is my jam! Plus we love charcuterie. We opted out from the traditional cured charcuterie board since we usually eat that all the time and ordered the cured charcuterie board. Omg it literally melts in your mouth! They could've brought out 3 more boards and we would've devoured it! My husband loved the bc endive red wine poached pear salad. Not my fav cause I'm not a fan of blue cheese but those pecans were tasty! We also ordered the ceviche mixto. Yummy!!! These are all get small bites so if you need a huge meal after riding the slopes probably not the best spot but a great spot before your huge meal. We also got a bottle of red wine that the employee recommended. It matched well with everything we had. They were knowledgeable about the wines. This place won't disappoint you. Great vibe too! We sat at the bar.

Great food and ambiance. It took awhile for us to be greeted after we sat down, but once we were our server was very helpful. There was also some confusion over our order but it was sorted out. Found this spot a little pricey but I do understand Whistler restaurants are priced higher than elsewhere. Overall a nice spot but I'd maybe just go for a drink and snack next time, instead of a full dinner.

The best food, most vibrant atmosphere, and nicest cozy-chic vibe in all of Whistler. Sit at the bar or at a table, both are great. Service is friendly and it's fun to watch the chef and his team work. G&Ts are some of the most creative and delicious I've ever had. We loved it before the remodel and now it's even better.

Very nice time at Bar Oso, great ambiance, good drinks, and great food! We will be back next time we are in Whistler

Very sorry that they don't accept reservations. Wait for an hour and still not sure when can have a table for 3. The front desk said 3 tables in front of us, probably another 45mins wait but not sure. We decided to go next door for dinner. Very disappointed experience, poor arrangement and why no reservation ‍no matter how good food and service...not recommended ‍

Great food. Lots of variety. Decent drinks list. Whistler dining isn't great. Staff turnover isn't high. Prices higher. Bar Oso suffers a little from this. It's OK.

Felt like a night out in Barcelona. Full bar offerings including creative cocktails with a separate section devoted to gin & tonics. Delicious and stylish tapas served by knowledgeable and friendly staff followed by Postres which included Basque cheesecake. Perfecto!

Amazing! Food, cocktails, service, vibes all wonderful. We went for drinks and a few tapas before dinner elsewhere and didn't want to leave! We sat at the bar, but had a waitress and she was very attentive. Highly recommend.

Great Food, Service and atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Beef Tartar, Cevice, Serano ham, Braised Beef empenada.

Great food, drinks and amazing atmosphere. Love the place and the service. Glad to see them reopen.

Great food. Amazing service. Fabulous ambience! We had the ceviche, tartare, and beef cheeks. So good! We will definitely be back

Really liked the cosy and relaxing ambiance in there. Great services and delicious tapas

Had a great time trying this place out for the first time a couple weeks ago. I was able to nab a table for walk in (without waiting) at 515 pm on a Friday night. Service was great. Ambiance was cool and vibey. The lit up marbly amber bar was super cool. The local beets dish was a fave. The ceviche and the octopus dishes were pretty good too. The chicken empanada was ok, it came across a little dry. I did not enjoy the taste, nor texture of the crispy eggplant. And yes, I do like eggplant generally. The oso sour drink was decent, nice to look at. The gin and tonic I had was nice and refreshing. We finished with the basque cheesecake. Oh man that dessert was so good. Beautiful texture and flavor. I would go back for that. Next time I need to get one of their charcuterie platters. It seems like that's one of their signatures.

Nothing special here. Nice ambience and cool vibe, but that's it. The bar staff were so so. Definitely not worth 5 stars. I'll skip this one the next time I come to Whistler.

Trendy but cozy restaurant/bar. Delicious drinks and tapas. Groups favorites were the pork belly and ceviche mixto.

Oh boy! Their empanadas are the best! I had two of them! I went in by myself so it was easier to get a spot at the bar. Be mindful that if you have a bigger party it might take various minutes to get a table. It is a small place and is always packed. But it is worth the wait. They do everything in front of customers. They have a little oven next to the drinks and cook everything fresh. Drinks are really good! A great and new bartender drink variety even alcohol free creations :) Staff is very friendly and active. Atmosphere is relaxed chic.

Magnificent! That's actually an understatement. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and birthdays this evening at Bar Oso, our absolute favorite restaurant in Whistler. Our server, Nick, led us through the most delicious culinary journey, every step leading perfectly to the next. His recommendations were invaluable. He instilled such trust that we let him select every dish and beverage. He. Is. Amazing! Thank you, Nick and Bar Oso, for creating a this memory for us.

Tapas and cocktails. If you've come for a culinary master class, maybe make a booking for the restaurant next door (make sure to do so in advance). Oso keeps things simple with an added touch of finesse to keep things interesting. The menu is not extremely dense, yet leaves you with enough to wish you had a bigger stomach/budget. Serves up great cocktails and there is definitely enough on the menu to keep you company while you do apres with your buds!

Visited OSO few times back in Jan and Feb 2020. Social distancing hand sanitizer and mask enforced. Partition setup. Not crowded like before due to Covid I suppose. No wait. Food as usual excellent. Same as cocktail. Friendly staffs.

The food here was great, but I wasn't a fan of how small the portions were. I get that Whistler is an expensive place to dine out, but $9.50 for three small croquetas (don't let my picture fool you; I zoomed in to the max on my phone camera lol) and $17.50 for 5 lamb albondigas (meatballs) was outrageous. Lucky for me, I had a gift card! I also ordered the empanada and the serrano and manchego bocadillo (a Spanish sandwich); both were equally as delicious as the croquetas and the albondigas. If you're not very hungry, Bar Oso is definitely a viable option. Otherwise, I'd suggest going for pre-dinner snacks and drinks or even going post-dinner if you're not a dessert fan--their charcuterie boards looked fantastic.

Top notch service paired with fantastic food and env. Happy hour deal unbeatable for wine and the charcuterie

Amazing! Our server was extremely knowledgeable and fun. All the food was excellent. We will be back and high recommend to everyone. Go at 5pm to avoid the wait.

My husband and I were in Whistler for a long weekend and found good reviews for Bar Oso on Yelp. We were hoping for dinner reservations given that it was a Saturday on a long weekend and we needed to get back to our dog, but saw that they were first come first serve. We got there at around 6pm and were second in line (sweet!). Waited for maybe 30 minutes. Covid safety: We scanned a QR code on our phones for the menu and they had free wifi. They had plexi partitions between tables and at the bar. We saw staff cleaning them in between customer seatings. All the staff were wearing masks. Good space between customers. We felt very safe. We ordered drinks and ordered four dishes for the two of us. The shishito peppers were very tasty. I loved the romesco and smoke! The tomato and mozzarella salad was good. Standard. Nothing special. The fresh charcuterie board was amazing. We got the fresh one since most places just have cured meats on their boards. The pheasant pate and duck liver parfait were the best. Our server saw we had finished our crackers with 1/3 of the board left so she gave us more which was much appreciated. The octopus was tender and smoky. I liked it but my husband thought it could use a bit more flavour than just smoke. We also ordered a few cocktails that were so so good. Their drinks menu is HUGE! And everything on it sounds so good! We'll definitely be back.

So thrilled to have eaten here. We were looking for a patio for lunch, with excellent food and COVID measures. Bar Oso seemed to fit the bill. I can honestly say it was the surprise best meal of the trip. As we walked up, our waiter was beyond lovely. We described him as an absolute spark of joy, super kind, helpful, and funny. We were seated outside, plexiglass barriers flanked us, and a nice overhead heater radiated warmth. I pushed my luck and asked if their steak tartare was available for lunch, as I had misread the menu online. Our waiter asked the kitchen, who very kindly obliged. Good thing too, because it was the highlight of the meal. I could have eaten two. The gin and tonics were out of this world - I had the floral Japanese variation, while my husband had a more traditional Scottish interpretation. Delicious. Ham and cheese croquettes were mind blowing - sauce was phenomenal, not greasy, perfectly warm, soft, and crispy. We had the charcuterie, which I usually loathe to order as they are conventionally a complete rip at most places. But the fresh rillettes/patés were absolutely lovely, generously portioned, house made, and the garnishes really worked perfectly. The bread/crisps that came with were properly portioned, which has to be a first for me because I'm usually always asking for more at restaurants. Finished things off with a warm sangria, which is shorthand for classic mulled wine. No regrets, lovely way to end a delicious meal in the cold. Five stars all day, I look forward to being back!

I stay right next to Bar Oso in the Pan Pacific yet in all my recent visits had never stepped inside. Bit was I missing out. We were peckish but not starving so a tapas format sounded just perfect. Popped inside where it's a small, intimate space with a handful of tables, bar seating or our pick - a bench overlooking the village which was prime for people watching. Began with a cocktail which is rare for me as I generally dislike liquor and tend to stick with beer or wine; but they have a very comprehensive selection and I went with a margarita full of hibiscus and jalapeño which was spicy and delicious. My husband tried a gin drink infused with lavender and whipped in egg white - both were delicious and my kids had a orange pineapple coconut drink which resulted in several servings so it was a hit. Then the food - all just delicious. Began with bread and olives which was the perfect way to start , them shrimp which was cooked just perfectly, scallop crudo which was outstanding, octopus, chorizo for the meat eaters at the table and a cheese board. All were the perfect size - a bite or two each - and perfectly cooked / prepared. Finished with dessert - Creme Brûlée and a chocolate flan; again just perfect. The service was impeccable, loved the ambiance, price was spot on and the food and drinks were spectacular

Good food, yummy drinks - mediocre service but that's fine we didn't expect much more!

had a big-backed moment and enjoyed the Aurora (fantastic cocktail), the scallops, olives, shrimp, tuna poke, beef tartare, eggplants, and shishito peppers with my dad and holy shit. this was transformative. absolutely amazing food, not a single miss. live love tapas. also great service and ambiance. overall, wow.

Yes, yes, yesssssss!!! Whistler Village is full of great restaurants, but Bar Oso is in the top 3, hands down. (Just LOOK at those charcuterie pics!) If you're here as a couple, this place is a perfect date night place after the slopes. The cocktail menu is not only extensive, but also VERY well thought out and the drinks are so well-balanced! Do yourself a favor and get the drink with the candied bacon, you will not be disappointed. (I'm not a bourbon drinker but this was exceptional!) Things I loved: the charcuterie, the lamb meatballs, the pork jowl (dear God, yes) Things that I probably wouldn't order again, but mainly because I've had better elsewhere and am super picky about: octopus, beef tartare This isn't a great place for a group because portions are small and I would stab someone if they tried to take one of the three garlic prawns on the plate. I will definitely be back when we go to Whistler again.
