Village reno seeks to add new F&B establishment

New restaurant to offer quick-service, grab-and-go food
Provisions
Provisions (working title) will offer predominantly quick-service food and will also feature displays for grab-and-go type food items.

Whistler’s mayor and council approved a development permit for a renovation of the Blackcomb Lodge building in Whistler Village at its Oct. 5 meeting.

The permit proposes renovations to the ground floor of the building located at 4222 Village Square, which currently contains Araxi, Bar Oso and three vacant retail units, all owned by the Aquilini Group.

The application seeks to “combine Units 120, 130, 140 and 150 to create one consolidated tenant space for a minor expansion of the existing Bar Oso and introduction of a new food and beverage concept to be called Provisions,” said planning analyst Clancy Sloan in a report to council.

The combined space will create two separate venues sharing back-of-house, kitchen and washroom facilities.

As part of the renovation, the existing entrances to the currently vacant spaces will be removed with a new entrance being created for Provisions (working title).

“The proposed expansion of Bar Oso is intended preserve the small-venue charm while offering a few more seats for patrons … [Provisions] is proposed to provide predominantly quick-service food and will also feature displays for grab-and-go type food items,” Sloan said.
