Roundhouse Lodge

This is a charming spot accessible only by gondola, offering stunning views of Whistler Village and surrounding peaks. Despite chilly outdoor temperatures, the cozy indoor seating is perfect for enjoying purchased meals like hearty soups or burgers. Clean washrooms and outdoor seating are available. The vibrant atmosphere and breathtaking mountain scenery make it a must-visit for skiers and tourists. Though Wait time is longer to purchase and food prices are a bit high, the unique location and panoramic vistas create an unforgettable dining experience.

Breathtaking views, good service, poor cafeteria food at insanely high prices. I can't speak for the special dinner they offer as I did not try their fancier options, though I imagine this is good. If you want to have something simple, however, I recommend you eat before coming here, as the cafeteria food is not good. That said, one thing I really did enjoy, apart from the stunning views, was the bear sculpture shown in the photos below, which aptly captures the fun, laid-back Whistler mountaintop feel.

Decent cafeteria-style restaurant on Whistler Mountain. Once you exit the gondola, enter the building on your left. It's a casual fast food restaurant. Order your food from a specific vendor, pay before you exit and choose a spot at one of the large tables. Indoor seating is available on the 1st and 2nd floor. Head to the 2nd floor to enjoy outdoor seating and a spectacular lookout. It's worth the stop no matter what! I tried the pakoras and a side of gravy. I figured it was lighter than the poutine. It was tasty, but the texture was oddly chewy, which isn't something you expect from pakoras. The cost was $6.99. Later in the day, we stopped at the Rendezvous Cafe, located at the top of Blackcomb. Once you take the peak-to-peak gondola to Blackcomb, you'll find Rendezvous. They serve the same food as the Roundhouse Lounge plus Mexican options. Next time, I'll have a snack there. But be warned, it's smaller than the Roundhouse, and has less seating.

The summer feast was incredible! The dishes were all very fresh and delicious. The sauteed garlic shrimp was so delicious. The service was great the staff were all very nice and friendly. There was also live music which made the experience extra fun. I would definitely recommend it.

Pleasantly surprised. I had some time to kill so I went to the food court. They have “happy hour” 14:00-14:30 (while supplies last) a foot long hot dog on a baguette, with a soda, for about $7. Decent deal for a mountain lodge.

Good eats, amazing views. Roadhouse Lodge was a perfect stop with jaw-dropping views for lunch on our visit to Whistler Blackcomb—well worth waiting to get up on the mountain before eating. This cafeteria-style restaurant sits in the lodge right off the Whistler Gondola. The restaurant offers a variety of food styles at cooking/serving stations manned by young staff. You collect your food and drinks and check out with a cashier. Overall, we were happy with the quality, variety, and cost of the food. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I’d highly recommend you eat outside if possible. The outdoor patio seating offers tables, some with umbrellas, and spectacular wrap-around views of mountains—really, incredible. Hint: when sitting outdoors, try to get an umbrella table to get out of the intense sun and watch your plates and belonging since the high wind bursts can blow your stuff right off your table. The facility includes restrooms and a small gift/equipment shop. Recommended.

The view is incredible. We bought some stuff in the village market below - bought drinks from the bar - and had an epic picnic. I'm sure the crowds can get crazy - we were there by 11a.

Service was lousy this visit at the upstairs spot- the Aussie burger guy refused to put the green chile sauce on the side for my burger (I wasn't asking for a tub), and Paul the Poutine guy from Burgundy could not have been more indifferent, offering scallions to the two customers in front of me but not to me. Food was as expected for a cafeteria, and not much change to the menu over the years. Cashiers were great and friendly though.
