Description: Open in December 2010, Alta Bistro set out to provide Whistler's visitors and locals alike a place for outstanding food and service in a casual fine dinning atmosphere year round. We set out to source the best local, in season ingredients, use creative cooking techniques to create modern French bistro cuisine on an ever changing, seasonal menu. We view sustainability as a cornerstone to our decision-making to day to day operations at Alta Bistro. We have developed strong, long term relationships with the farms in the locals areas, such as Pemberton Valley, Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley. We are passionate about flavour and bringing the best out of each season. We set out to create an award winning wine programme as well as craft cocktails. Now 5 years on, we're still passionate about wowing our clientele with unique, regional, fresh flavours.

Food and service excellent. I have Celiac and instead of just leaving off ingredients they added different ones to keep the dish top notch. Would love to come back

Awesome. I had been in way too long since I was here. The Spring menu was still on and it was fabulous. Cocktails great, Perfect presentation. Service was tops. Nice to know that Eric is still running a top restaurant after all this time and he can trust his staff with the details. I'll be back much more often.

We went there upon recommendation of the host of our airbnb and were not disappointed. The menu is made of local food and it is very good. We had the fish and the pork belly which were both delicious. Good portion but made with attention to detail and cooked perfectly. Exactly what you expect from upscale french restaurant. Add great service and you get a perfect evening.
Thank you Alta!

Food is good but service is bad. very much, hey we know you’re here to ski so not likely to come back. At least not until next year and there are plenty of other guests that will try us out. We don’t care what impression you leave with.
Highlights: 30 mins sitting at the table waiting to order even drinks. Then waitress spills water all over one party’s menu, no apology or wiping the spill. The highlight is that she drops the plate with the main dish and the the vegetables, sauce and meat fall all over the table. She picks up meat and veggies with bare hands and says “I’ll have this replated for you”.5-10 mins the dish is back, hopefully a new one (although unlikely since they apparently cook all from scratch). Not even a symbolic deduction from the bill. Note that dishes were all north of 60 dollars per dish.
Definitely not recommending and not coming back.
