This vote reflects 26 years of service in Whistler at the Rimrock Café . Before the Rimrock opened, owner and chef Rolf Gunther operated the Creekhouse so the math will show nearly 35 years of serving Whistler and its visitors.

The Rimrock Best of Whistler accolades include Best Dessert, Best When Someone Else Pays, Best Atmosphere, Best Service and one more. The last one is the big one.

Best Overall Restaurant

Whistler's favourite restaurant is the Rimrock Café . This brings to five the total number of honours in the Best of Whistler polling for the Rimrock.

Rolf Gunther and Bob Dawson opened their Whistler landmark 1987. Pique voters have made it clear that the Rimrock has put all the components of a great restaurant together under one roof.

With its two stone fireplaces and wood finishing, Dawson said the Rimrock is a casual place where people relax and enjoy the feeling of dining in a Whistler ski cabin.

Congratulations to everyone at the Rimrock!

Araxi polled second while Sushi Village rounded out the top three.

Best of Whistler 2012

It has been a year where there has been both bounty and challenge. Destination visitors are coming back, but how they vacation has changed, making the way businesses look after their customers even more important.
