Our dining experience at the Red Door Bistro was exceptional. It is a tiny space which explains the necessity for advance reservations. The vegetarian ricotta gnudi was totally delicious with exotic mushrooms and snap peas in such a delectable sauce with a hint of spice in the chili oil. The arugula gave it more freshness on top and finished it off nicely. The soup of the day, tomato and mushroom, was a nice starter as well. For dessert we enjoyed the chocolate ganache with raspberry to complete the meal.

Our waiter was so impressive with his knowledge and all-around friendly; his recommendations for dishes and wine made our meal the best experience yet in Whistler!! We loved the duck spring rolls, pork special entree dish, and peanut butter bomb for dessert. It was an intimate and special dinner together. Thank you to our waiter and the staff for such a wonderful experience!

I honestly don’t understand the hype around this place. My husband and I have had excellent dining experiences at other restaurants in Whistler that are in the same price range, but this place was just… mediocre at best. We started with duck spring rolls, which oddly tasted like pork with ketchup. The T-bone steak, their special, was unremarkable, and the mashed potatoes lacked flavor. I had the ricotta gnudi, which was a complete miss—the texture was off, and the overpowering tomato sauce tasted like it came straight from a can. Even the crème brûlée, which was decent, had an uneven sugar layer that made it tough to enjoy. The ambiance didn’t help either—too noisy, with people packed too close together and no balance between the music and the setting. Honestly, if this place charged 50% less, it would be an okay spot for lunch, but at these prices, it doesn’t live up to the hype. So disappointed.

Be aware of food poisoning. Our family had dinner at the restaurant on Aug 29. The dinner was pleasant, but unfortunately 4 out of 5 of my family members were sick afterward. My daughter didn’t order for and shared a bit of my plate only, she is the only one who escaped the unfortunate event. My husband ordered pork chop, my father seafood stew, my son ordered steak and caesar salad. The four of us shared a bit of my husband’s and my father's plate and the salad. Soon we were all vomiting and had diarrhea. We have to stop the car at road side to let my son vomit on the way back home. My father has been sick for almost one week. This is one very rare experience with these level of restaurants. We were very disappointed and certainly would not recommend this restaurant.

An absolute gem of a restaurant - we're so happy we booked a table here for our last night in Whistler! First off, the food was all amazing. The appetizers were perfectly balanced and very unique. We had the calamari and the cambozola & mushrooms, which were both delicious. For mains we had the short rib and bouillabaisse. The short rib was fall-apart tender and the seafood in the bouillabaisse was cooked perfectly. The key lime parfait was a perfect end to the meal. Only minor downside is that my virgin mojito was a bit weak (definitely could've been muddled more), but they have an expensive wine menu that more than makes up for it. The restaurant is small and cosy. In the summers most diners prefer to sit on the patio to enjoy the breeze but they also have indoor seating for the winter. A reservation is recommended due to the size of the restaurant. The staff are friendly and very helpful with menu recommendations. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough if you're in the area!

It just does not get any better. It was my choice for my birthday celebration and was perfect. Nola took i credible care of us and every suggestion on point. It was among one of the best meals I remember. The squid was delicious, and the Cesar salad brought salad to a new level. Each course was perfection along with a suggested Tuscan wine. The atmosphere makes it so moody….you can see the kitchen, decor is simple but somehow it feels inviting as if in a French bistro. When I return this will be my number one go to spot.

Had the duck confit spring rolls and the Sakura pork. Enjoyed the spring rolls but wasn't a fan of the sauce that came with it. Everything in the Sakura pork dish was amazing

Delicious menu with unique flavors featuring high quality locally inspired dishes that celebrate Canada. Highly reccommend the current featured veal and Quebec duck breast. Luxury prices ~$65/person + tip (not including drinks) but what you would expect with fancy dining of this sort.

We came here on a Sunday and had a reservation for our party of 9. There were not that many other parties there and we were sat at the large table in the middle, so close to the kitchen, we were talking with the chef during the meal! The menu had lots of great options, something for everyone. the interior is dark and has that classy feel. I had some of the carpaccio appetizer and it was fabulous. The meat was so thin and salt a nice touch. The duck rolls were amazing though! So unique and well displayed. The mushrooms in this dish completed it. For my entree, I had the steak. The chimichurri sauce was on point and the steak perfectly cooked. For dessert, the key lime parfait was the perfect finish to the perfect meal! The service was also excellent, as my two kids ordered one adult entree and they split it into two dishes free of charge.

I really enjoyed the food here during my visit. The plating was beautiful, the flavors pushed my palate and worked together all at the same time and the selection in the menu was brief but provided the right diversity. The pricing was about average for this area, although this entire area is going to be pricier than your normal place at home. It had an element of fine dining and wine bar as they have an extensive wine menu. While the wine is good, I wouldn't recommend getting anything outside of that from the bar as the cocktails were not great here. If you come here, expect to get a wine and a great dish. The service was friendly and they approached us a good amount of times. But with appetizers and entrees only our dining experience took over 2 hours, which felt too long for a dining experience where you are t doing multiple courses. I probably would visit again for the duck spring rolls

Cute and cozy little restaurant with excellent food and service. Our server Sean was very nice and pleasant, and he's very knowledgeable about the menu and gave good advice for ordering. The three of us ordered family style: A Basket of Bread, Duck Confit Egg Rolls (Sean suggested we order three because each order came with two), Nova Scotia Scallops, West Cost Bouillabaisse, New York Steak, and Vanilla Bean Cream Brûlées. Food was excellent, from the main ingredients to the fine details: the broth in the West Coast Bouillabaisse was boiled and reduced for days and was really tasty; the spring rolls had a lot of duck meat in a really crispy and flaky thin pastry; the Nova Scotia scallops came with a celery root purée with little lemon dumplings, pistachios, and pink lady apples; and even the roasted potatoes that came with the New York steak were really good. The Vanilla Bean Cream Brûlée at the end was a nice touch to complete the very satisfying meal. Prices were not cheap (and they did charge for bread) but reasonable. If you're looking for a nice place to enjoy a fine dinner, I do highly recommend the Red Door Bistro.

It's going to be difficult for me to find all the right words to convey how outstanding this experience was. First, I emailed the restaurant to ask about a reservation for our 20th wedding anniversary. They had no problem accommodating us. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted warmly and taken outside to the patio where glasses of complimentary prosecco were waiting for us and we were congratulated on our anniversary. (An aside - when we walked into the restaurant the inside was nearly empty - I assume because it was very hot outside and they probably do not have air conditioning. They had a red awning up over the patio area, which made for a nice outdoor area. After the sun went down enough, the awning was opened up and it allowed even more of a cooling breeze). I will admit I was concerned when they first walked us out because they sat us at one end of a long table, where a group of four was seated at the other end. My initial thought was, "we're here for our anniversary and we are going to be at a "family seating" table?" But not to worry, it was a great spot. We were far enough away from others that it felt private, but also close enough that we could spy what others were eating! Every single person we interacted with at the restaurant was amazing - kind, welcoming, professional. Our server was a total pro. He had been in the profession for decades and it was clear he knew what he was doing! For the rest of the ambiance, there was music playing at a medium volume, perfect to hear it, but no struggle to make conversation over the music. And the selection was such that my wife almost wondered if I had given them a playlist to play for her! Now, on to the most important aspect - the food. Let me first say that I spent hours trying to decide where to make a reservation for our anniversary. I scoured the reviews here, read travel/food blogs and reviews, looked through menus, etc. before landing on this place. I was really hoping all of that work would pay off, and boy did it ever! We had trouble to start with on selecting appetizers we might want. Our server helped us out with some questions. We settled on the Nova Scotia Scallops as one, and after some additional descriptions from the waiter also chose the Calamari. They were both amazing. The scallops themselves were creamy and the rest of the plate complimented them so well. The calamari was not breaded and fried, but pan seared instead and they were the best calamari I've ever had. My wife decided on the Braised Short Ribs for her main after our server's recommendation and I went with the Sakura Pork (prosciutto wrapped tenderloin). The pork came with a mustard sauce (the server gave us a full rundown of the process the chef goes through for the dish and it's crazy how much goes into it) that was unbelievably great. That entire dish was one of the very best dishes I have ever had anywhere. The only downside was that it was such a standout that my wife's excellent main paled a bit in comparison! The Sakura Pork is the highest recommendation I can give to anyone. For dessert we got the summer trifle and peanut butter bombe. Both were excellent. And I mean really excellent. Overall this dinner experience was one of, if not the, best meals I've ever had. The atmosphere, the service, and the food, oh my the food, was all outstanding. I only wish I could go back again and again! The meal was quite expensive, but factoring in the entire experience, it was very much worth it. Thank you for such an excellent evening. Bravo!

Okay, this is a must try if you want some high quality French food! Decided to take my bf here for his birthday. He ordered a steak that came with mushrooms, chino urti sauce and potatoes. Okay I didn't describe that perfect but it was fancier than just that. He absolutely loved it! I ordered the cod and the accompany flavors were amazing. Service here is great. They are attentive. You have to make a reservation ahead of time. Make your reservation a few weeks beforehand. The place is dark but it's part of the vibe.

Service was friendly and food was good. To start, we had the duck confit spring rolls and the scallops. Both dishes offered a unique combo of flavours that worked really well together. For our mains we had the wild boar and the duck breast. The portion for these entrees were decent but i'm not quite sure if it justifies the price. While the duck was tender and juicy, I found the boar to be a bit dry. Overall, we did enjoy our meal, however there was nothing exceptional about the food and our experience.

Small intimate restaurant with an open kitchen. Menu is innovative and food is perfectly prepared. Staff was outstanding and they are all clearly in love with working there! Good wine line with solid wine by the glass options. Not cheap, but for this standard of eating it's worth it.

First official dinner as husband and wife. @reddoorbistro was epic! Amazing service and food which was to die for.... Alberta Wild Boar, Prosciutto wrapped tenderloin with sriracha glazed belly, fingerling potatoes, apple butter, sour mustard sauce and pork skin crisps. Nova Scotia Scallops-Buttered Bay scallops with celery root purée, lemon dumplings, pink lady apple, pistachios and apple balsamic syrup. Tomato purée soup & crème brûlée We would suggest this to anyone looking for a wonderful experience and flavorful food.

The food is always on point at the Red Door. Service has never left us wanting for anything. If you go towards the end of Summer, be sure to ask if there are any Shishito peppers for an app......super tasty and fresh.

When I was taken to this place, I was told it was the best place in Whistler. I think that is a fair and accurate statement. There is no bar, or waiting area. There is a pub next-door. The decor of this place is really quaint, small with an open kitchen. It is very intimate dining experience. I really enjoyed this wonderful dining experience, and the prices are reasonable. The one reason I didn't give it a full five stars, was that it's impossible to get into. And I get it, I understand that a food place is hard to get into. It is just a very difficult situation, where the hostess/host is nearly impossible to get a hold of, etc. However, I highly recommend this place, and will definitely eat there in the future. The pan fried calamari was exceptional! I am sorry I don't have a picture of that. The short ribs is probably the best things I ate while in Whistler. Parking is not too much of an issue, although I walked there (small lot, but lots of street). I would give this 4.5...

This was our last supper before the lock down hit in Whistler. Beautiful thing about Creekside is that it has the best restaurants. Service was very personable and super friendly. The meals were to die for and everything was perfectly prepared and plated. A couple of nice glasses of wine. Some cava to start before we moved onto a red. Lovely artwork from local artists adorn the walls. Great job, loved the review from the person that complained that there was a small red door or something. Come on do you need landing strip lights to guide you to a front door?

Rude staff, terribly classless. For the record I got food poisoning from a different restaurant 2 weeks ago and gave them a better review because I was at least treated well and with respect by the staff members. The hostess recommended the pub next door after telling me she didn't have a table for me and insisted they were reservation only (I'm having trouble locating that info? I see it as an option on the website but no where, anywhere do I see the words "reservation only.") Then when I called about 20 minutes later (because I'm salty like that when people think they're better than others) they informed me they could fit in a table of a few people at 8:30. Thanks KAREN, I knew y'all were full of crap, probably would've dropped it otherwise ya know....on this bustling TUESDAY off-season evening. Enjoyed my meal at Araxi where I was treated well and tipped well on my 3 course meal. (you guys actually would've been my cheapest dinner lol) Oh and then they changed my feedback on Facebook to say I recommended it and then blocked me from accurately reframing the review. Maybe don't treat people like shit eh?

Cute little restaurant in creek side, a hidden gem in whistlers fine dining scene. Located just steps from Nita lake lodge nestled in creekside it's the perfect place for an intimate dinner, though a bit of a pain to get to from the village. The food was amazing, we did a full dinner and the halibut with crab cake entree is so good. Biggest downside is that it is a very small place and you will be very close to your neighbors table and/or at the chefs counter. Be sure to make a reservation well in advance to guarantee you can dine here. Pro tip: you can get their famous peanut butter bomb without peanuts (my boyfriend is very allergic)!

Hands down one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. I had an idea of what I wanted to order but am always open to "specials" and/or what's been popular historically. Red Door did not disappoint. I had the special/featured soup and salad for the day. The soup was a creamy parsnip, cauliflower, and red onion soup. Superb. The salad was a summer special and had butter lettuce, chickory, prosciutto, cantoloupe, and a fancy house made ranch. My main was their signature bouillabaisse and for dessert I had the peanut bombe with an americano. Such a fantastic experience with incredible service. Kudos to Scotty for his attention to detail and to the supporting staff who kept my glass filled.

We've stopped by several times with no luck getting in as you need to book weeks ahead, but this time we showed up just before 5 pm and were able to not only get in but also got a table! So excited to finally dine here as it is almost always full and we counted, it seats 50! No wonder! Anyways it's just before Christmas, it's minus 5 and we're happy being in this cozy dark little restaurant with exposed kitchen and chefs right in front of us at the bar to watch as we dine. We decided to start with mussels in a white wine and garlic broth from Salt Spring Island and it was wonderful, the broth was good and not overwhelmed with garlic. It comes with two thin sliced toasted bread and olive tapenade. The mussels were absolutely huge and delicious! I chose the special of the day which was a pork loin chop with fingerling potatoes and arugula, pear flambé wine reduction, which complimented the pork very well. I couldn't finish my generous portion of pork but my hubby did! It's about 7 oz but looks like it's two inches thick! The pork is brined overnight to keep it nice and moist and was perfectly cooked. Hubby chose the Braised Chuck Flats with veggies and fingerling potatoes. It was so tender you could slice through it with your fork! Absolutely must have this dish if you're a big meat eater. The portion is generous, even if you like meat! We skipped dessert just because we'd been eating a lot lately, but there's always next time! The staff is also very helpful and friendly without going overboard and are genuine. No pressure if you're not going to order a cocktail or other alcoholic bevvie which is nice, especially if you're allergic to alcohol or abstaining from it, so thank you to the staff for not giving us the 'eye' or getting deflated about not getting that extra little more $ out of your customers, greatly appreciated!

5 Huge Stars ! Outstanding. if you can get a reservation (it's that popular) make sure you have the duck spring rolls and short ribs. I will be remembering this meal for years. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, the staff was delightful and the food was fantastic.

What an awesome place .. with delicious food. Made a reservation 2 months ahead as it was a special birthday celebration. excellent service, great Veal porterhouse steak as well. Only wished somebody would have said something to the birthday boy about his celebration .. that was a bit disappointing. Also, parking is really difficult around that area.

10 out of 10 in all categories! This is cozy intimate venue, and reservations are needed (well in advance). Our hostess (Diana) and server (Sean) were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food is chef driven and prepared at an open kitchen, so it's interesting to watch the team at work. My husband and I split the bouillabaisse which was full of delicious seafood, and the halibut served in a brandy lobster bisque which could have passed as our dessert! However we couldn't resist the Key Lime Bombe which was a light creative ending to a fabulous meal. Highly recommend for a special night out!

Yelp
We had dinner at the Red Door Bistro and was very pleased with the whole experience. Albeit the fact that I was dining with my parents who are huge fans of the place, I could see why they kept insisting that we had dinner there! In an open kitchen concept, you get to sit at the bar to watch the chefs go at it if you're willing to wait. If not, you have to make reservations in advance. The staff are extremely friendly and professional, adding to the dining experience at the Bistro. The food is excellent, simply put. French and Canadian food combined into something hearty yet refined. Portions are not small, but are just right. We ordered a bunch of things off the menu, but the Duck Spring Rolls and the cod stood out the most to me! Definitely see what's on the blackboard to see what specials they have for the day!

Probably my new favorite nice dinner spot in Whistler. Sorry Araxi. It's a small spot so definitely make reservations, yes the old style way, by calling. Their reservation book is a physical book with a pencil. If you can, sit at the bar; those chefs are amazing to watch - their timing and precision in cooking and plating was just really neat to watch. The short rib BRAISED CHUCK FLATS were good - it was a little too saucy and dark flavored for me, but the PORK CHOP was incredible. I know not a lot of people ordered it but I really don't know why because it was cooked perfectly and the sauce on top was incredible. I dream of that pork chop still. The BUFFALO was also really good and tender; a little gamey but good. Yes most people are ordering the CASSOULET or the BOUILLABAISSE so why not try those and heck, come back and try other things the next day! The DUCK CONFIT SPRING ROLL appetizer is really good - totally stuffed with meat and amazing flavor and tenderness of the meat. It is fried so it is a little heavy. The desserts are kind of ok. CREME BRULEE was good. A lot of people like the PEANUT BUTTER BOMBE, but it was too rich for me, but that might be because I'm not a huge peanut butter fan. I would go back and eat that pork chop every night if I could... It's down in Creekside next to Nita Lake Lodge (1 or 2 buildings down). Bathroom is down the hall because I think it's shared with the bar next door. Oh and if you need an excuse to head down to Creekside, get a RMT massage at Nita Lake Lodge spa and then walk over after. You won't regret it.

After a long day skiing Whistler, Red Door Bistro was exactly what we needed to replenish, as we were exhausted. The food was spectacular, the service was fantastic, and we would recommend this restaurant to everyone. They didn't offer a cheese plate, however upon our request put one together, it was absolutely perfect with the bottle of wine that we had. We highly recommend a reservation, as even on a Monday night it was packed. they say a picture is worth a thousand words, I took some nice pictures posted here.

Very small restaurant (no bar, no bathrooms - shared with the pub next door) just moments next to the hotel we were staying at. Reservations essential. Immediately I was disappointed because I figured since it was fine dining, they'd have good non alc choices. They did not, and our waiter was not interested in offering me anything, suggesting a virgin mojito or a Shirley temple, and then just telling me if I thought of something to let him know. When I looked at their cocktail menu, they did have mango juice and pineapple juice - I feel like with more effort I could have been offered an actual grown up option. I do not understand why restaurants are not more interested in making money off of people who don't drink - but anyway, just water for me (flat water, since I wasn't offered sparkling as a choice and I didn't see any on the menu). The actual menu all sounds delicious, and we opted for the duck spring rolls, the elk and the bouillabaisse to share. Flavours were simple and wonderful, everything cooked perfectly. Portions of the mains were large. The potatoes that came with the elk were amazing! Way too much fish to shellfish ratio in the bouillabaisse- only two shrimp, scallops and one crab piece to a million salmon and ... swordfish? I'm not sure because it wasn't explained to us. Overall, this place has great food, and the service was good when it came to water refills, but I did think the experience was not as elevated/refined as I would expect if it was in the city.

Decided to grab some food close to where I'm staying. I was really impressed with everything at this restaurant. Was greeted nicely at the door by the hostess. The servers were amazing. Always made sure that my water glass was filled and that I got everything I needed. The chefs all were awesome as well. Very friendly and experienced. Basically all the staff that work here are awesome! The food that i ordered was the west coast bxxx (don't remember how to spell the last word). There are scallops, crab, prawns and mussels on the plate and it was REALLY good. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant as well. I think this would be a very good place for a couple to come to.

One of my favourite restaurants in Whistler! Highly recommend the scallops, calamari and NY steak. My husband and I came to celebrate our 5 yrs wedding anniversary with our young son. To our surprise, the owner offered to take our little guy for ~10 min to give us some much needed peace and quiet to enjoy our meal. We really appreciated the kind gesture and our son definitely enjoyed the free ride :) Food and service were impeccable as always. Highly recommend! Would definitely call well in advance to reserve a table because they fill up quick (we made our reservation over a month in advance).

Second night here was just as good as the first. I had a veal porterhouse with mushroom risotto and asparagus. The lamb is still my favorite, but both were phenomenal!

Theresa W.

We came here on recommendation by our check-in staff at our condo. It is a short drive from Whistler Village and has a meat heavy menu with French influence. The location is very cute, and they have a nice patio area. The otherwise classy restaurant is detracted from slightly because they share a hallway and restroom with a liquor store and a sports bar. Our server throughout the whole meal was very rushed and rough when he came to take away wine glasses, refill water or bring our dishes. It felt understaffed and the service is not up to par with the cost of dining here. We ordered the veal, the porterhouse steak, and the chuck roast, all of which were quite tasty but over-salted across the board. They were so close to being a fancy restaurant but not quite there... a little blob of arugula on the side of my veal, but half of the arugula was partially cooked because it was placed next to the hot meat. And there was an over-salted mushroom on top of salted butter on top of my salted steak so it overall was very salty. The chuck roast was delightfully tender and rich in flavor but again, rather than letting the depth of flavor of the vegetables in the roast speak, all I could notice at first is the punch of salt. You can order a basket of bread for a 4.50, and it is a moderately stingy half baguette. We saw some other people order other appetizers which seemed more fairly portioned. The wine list is very expensive but I think a component of that is that alcohol is very expensive in Canada. Their wine glasses are thick and bulky and I would argue that they detract from enjoyment of wine. Overall: solid food, understaffed, I would save my fine dining budget for a larger city.

We had the perfect experience here! Excellent cocktails with our appetizers. We had the chicken pate and the onion tarte with our lemon drops. Then the Red door Salad. Then we had the Wild Boar and Branzino with an excellent Pinot from BC. Great service. Great food. Highly recommend!

The Red Door Bistro works on all levels. Intimate setting, unbelievable food, and great service. My wife and I split the pears and goat cheese appetizer which was perfect for sharing and delicious as well. I had the duck a l'orange which was well seasoned and tasted like Christmas. My wife had the halibut which was well cooked, tasted fine. We then split the crème brûlée which was exquisite. Highly recommend this restaurant for a date night. Be prepared to spend a good amount--that said, it is not ridiculously overpriced for the type of quality it provides.

This place is amazing!! Appetizers and dinners are perfect to share or have on your own and look like a work of art. Wine list is extensive and will catch any wine lovers pallet. End the night with the cheese cake or the Creme brûlée and a Spanish coffee.

It was so delicious!! Sitting at the bar was great; watching the "show" (so to speak) was very impressive. We started with the duck confit egg rolls and the Quebec (my home province!) foie gras. We shared everything and boy was I glad we did! Then we had the mushroom risotto and the chuck . Oh my god!! What perfection! Each dish was cooked perfectly and so delicious. We had a wonderful experience. The server was totally attentive and timing went off without a hitch! I can't wait to go back sometime!!!

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN WHISTLER. The dude said, just close your eyes and point at anything on the menu and you'll pick right. He was correct! Everything is SO DOPE. This place was DELICIOUS. The veal porterhouse, the cod and chorizo, the smoked Arctic char, and the polenta cakes and mushrooms...perfection. Everything was amazing and a seat at the counter watching the chefs made it even better. Hella-dope!

It was our first visit tonight and it was off the charts unbelievable for service, food, atmosphere and everything else. It was amazing! There was a table of 18 ahead of us that lingered and delayed our seating on time. (This is a tiny restaurant. ) We were made very comfortable at Roland's, the very nice bar next door where Natalie was our fabulous waitress. Once seated, we were more than generously compensated. Aside from this extreme generosity, we thought the food was extremely high quality, and exquisitely prepared French food, served in generous proportions. We took food home. The wait staff was beyond accommodating and attentive. Best service I have ever had. I am booking my next reservation now. The reputation of this restaurant is rightfully deserved on ever level. We are coming back as soon as possible. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great visit and experience.

With out a doubt this is Whistlers finest restaurant. From start to finish everything was perfect. Simple things like the music and lighting to important things like waitstaff that truly know their craft. The kitchen is a top notch operation offering classics and a few well done signatures. Whistler is better for having the Red Door as it best dining option.

A part of me doesn't want to review this place because it was truly a "hidden gem" in Whistler. It's tucked away from Whistler Village so we had to drive to get there but it was well worth the effort. But I guess I won't be selfish. The bf and I went on a Wednesday evening and the other customers seemed to be either locals or Yelp foodies like ourselves. The service was attentive and he gave good recommendations. One thing I liked about The Red Door Bistro was that there was a lot of local or Canadian sourced foods and wines. Since the bistro is connected to a bar, they can happily recommend and retrieve beer there as well. So we shared the crab cakes and as many other reviewers mentioned, they were yummy. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with lots of crab! I got the duck and the bf got the elk-both were cooked to perfection and our BC wines accompanied these dishes well too. Seriously, the price cannot be beat for the food and experience at this place. I was super glad to get away from the traffic in Whistler Village and to enjoy great food and wine for a spectacular price. I cannot recommend this place enough for other Yelp foodies heading to Whistler.

This is a great restaurant! It's located outside of the main village and is worth going to. The waiters are great, personable, and know the menu! If you're not sure what to get, ask and they'll do a great job describing the dish. They also were good at pairing wine with the food items. The location and restaurant itself small but feels very intimate; great for a date-night! Reservations are probably suggested and are made by phone only. My wife and I will definitely go back here when we return to Whistler!

We had never eaten at Red Door Bistro before. Seeing the reviews we were anticipating a lovely dining experience. We arrived and were seated on the patio which was hot and they had no fans or air conditioning inside either. We ordered a Mojito and a Aperol Spritz, they were served in glass tumblers which I would expect at a family restaurant. The mint in the Mojito had not even been muddled. We ordered appetizers and they were very good. I had the Scallops and my wife had the Onion Tart. The appetizers did not disappoint! For our entree we each had the Risotto which was very OK. When we left, we were hot and felt like we had paid fine dining prices for a mediocre dining experience. We will not be back.
