About Araxi Restaurant

Best of the Pacific Northwest

A crossroads of mountain elegance and approachable dining in the heart of Whistler Village, Araxi enjoys a long-held international reputation for excellence in food, wine and hospitality, including the award for ‘Best Restaurant at Whistler’ from Vancouver magazine for an unprecedented nine consecutive years.

Executive Chef James Walt celebrates carefully sourced local ingredients from nearby Pemberton Valley farms, where he collaborates frequently with local growers. His seasonally rotating menus also feature the freshest seafood catches direct from the Pacific. Walt’s innovative and skillfully executed dishes deliver intelligent compositions and delightful flavours, carefully married to our award-winning wine list.

Araxi’s seamless service and hospitality is led by restaurant director Steve Edwards, a consummate host dedicated to providing his guests Whistler’s optimal dining experience.

The dining room offers lively ambiance enhanced with fresh flowers, original works of art and David Merino frescos. The adjoining Bar is the mountain’s popular gathering place for locals and visitors, and in the summer season the patio is the nexus of Whistler’s village life, wrapped by stunning mountain vistas.

The Cookbook

Araxi, Seasonal Recipes from the Celebrated Whistler Restaurant

by James Walt $45.00

Gorgeous photography and accessible recipes frame the seasons and chef James Walt’s celebration of our region’s bounty in Araxi: Seasonal Recipes from the Celebrated Whistler Restaurant. A graduate of Stratford, Walt’s sterling career includes the executive chef position at the Canadian Embassy in Rome. The highly anticipated cookbook was just released to high praise by both patrons and Walt’s peers, including chefs Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal. Walt’s distinct Canadian style – that celebrates both local farms and coastal fisheries – has won praise and ovations at New York City’s James Beard House where he has showcased his talents three times. Now long established as Whistler’s finest dining experience, Araxi also features exceptional dessert recipes from pastry chef Aaron Heath and wine pairings from Samantha Rahn. Best Chef Book in Canada, Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, 2009.
