Healthy Eating in Whistler

Here’s a stab at my favourite places for healthy eating in Whistler:

Casual coffee shop/cafe type places

• Gone Village Eatery
  (4205 Village Square – website)
  Everything made from scratch. Nice assortment of soups, with vegan and vegetarian options indicated. Staff helpful with questions about the ingredients.
• Moguls Coffee House
  (203-4204 Village Square)
  Nice fresh food. Brown rice option (they used to have a great brown rice veggie bowl but wasn’t on the menu last time I was there). Smoothies from scratch. (cash only)
• Blenz
  (101-4338 Main Street)
  I’m a matcha green tea latte fan, and these folks use unsweetened matcha powder (unlike starbucks) and have a good variety of non-diary options
• Lift Coffee Co
  (near the gondola base of Whistler Mountain)
  Check the daily specials. Try to lentil cake. They are quite open to vegan substitutions.
• Alpine Cafe
  (in the neighbourhood of Alpine – 8104 McKeevers Place – website)
  I like the veggie chili. And try the Alpine veggie burger.
• Java at Nesters
  (7013 Nesters Rd)
  A nice little coffee shop with sandwiches and salads. Sandwiches are made to order.
• Splitz Grill
  (4369 Main Street – website)
  This is a fast food burger place so it might seem like a strange choice for this list, but I do recommend the lentil burger. Skip the white flour bun and get your burger on the whole wheat wrap or on its own – piled up with veggies and hummus. They also have free-range buffalo and turkey burgers.

Casual restaurants

• Creekbread
  (2021 Karen Crescent in Creekside – website)
  Love this place! Great pizzas and salads. Huge emphasis on local and organic. Super friendly staff. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options.
• Elements Urban Tapas Parlour
  (102B – 4359 Main Street – website)
  A tapas place. Some tasty, healthy options on the tapas menu.
• Pasta Lupino
  ( #121 – 4368 Main Street- website)
  Unfortunately they don’t have any non-white flour pasta options here. But I have had some tasty soups.
• Nochi Pan Asian Bistro
  (In the Pan Pacific at 4320 Sundial Crescent – website)
  Lots of tasty dishes. Good for sharing. A fun place.

Sushi places

• Sachi Sushi
  (4359 Main Street 106)
  Very fresh tasting.
• Nagomi Sushi
  (4557 Blackcomb Way in the upper village – website)
  A fun, creative menu.
• Samurai Sushi
  (various locations – website)
  Quick and inexpensive. Need to sift through the menu to find the healthier options. They do have multigrain rice which is unusual for a sushi restaurant. Their daily specials are good value. Always a vegetarian option.

Indian

• Tandoori Grill
  (4368 Main Street – upstairs above 7-11 – website)
  Lots of vegetarian options. Staff very friendly with questions about ingredients.

Korean

• Celadon: Fine Korean BBQ and Grill
  (#300 – 4293 Mountain Square – upstairs – website)
  Lots of vegetarian options. Cook your food at your table. Fun and tasty.
