    Whistler is a beautiful place away from home yet closely accessible within the day. A beautiful scenic drive during the summer months thru the North Shores on the Sea-to-Sky Highway. On the way you can stop at Squamish for some delicious Caesar at The Watershed Grill, go for a hike at Shannon Falls, and hit Whistler Village for some shopping and a nice fine dinner at Araxi Restaurant Whistler Village.

    We were here for a romantic day just the two of us celebrating my birthday. Whistler is one of my favorite local staycation. Snowboarding season maybe near an end but you can still see a few die-hard fans transitioning to mountain biking season!

    The restaurant itself is one of those that you can get away with a casual attire or be completely decked out. I love the relaxed atmosphere in an elegant fine dining setting. The staff are warm and inviting.

    We were presented with warm, rustic bread service: buns served with olive oil and a pudding shaped butter. It is cute to look at and serves its purpose! I prefer ordering more appetizers vs mains. Perhaps I am greedy or I get bored easily. We prefer variety.

    Alberta Beef Tenderloin Tartare 19.50: Served with house baked sourdough crostini, the beed is tossed with truffle vinaigrette, capers, shallots and garnished with a quail egg. It is melt-in-your mouth. Who cares if it isn’t Kobe beef. Alberta has some of the best beef in the world. And you can not get real kobe beef in North Amercia anyways.

    BC Oysters ‘Five Ways’ 15.50: This was beautifully presented. Raw oysters are served 3 ways…

    Virgin Caesar shooter. By far the most creative and memorable oyster shoot: It is both aesthetically photogenic and delicious

    Quebec Foie Gras Parfait 19.50: Served with baked brioche, red wine and paired poached Okanagan pear ruby port and black pepper glaze. The foie gras was smooth, velvety and rich. So rich that the baked brioche was too heavy. Luckily the tart pear was there to balance it off a little. We couldn’t help but to calculate how many calories was in that dish… actually I better not tell you… The kosher salt sprinkled on top was a nice touch!.

    Rabbit Terrine 34.50: What's up, Doc? Looks like Elmer Fudd got the better of Bugs Bunny. The carrot garnishes are actually quite ironic when you think of it. The rabbit lying next to it is meaty, tender and filled with a French styled forcemeat. Olive oil vinaigrette lightens this dish.

    For dessert, I wanted what Araxi always show on their website: Raspberry Napoleon. Layers of vanilla sable biscuits, raspberries and lavender cream sinfully stacked.Alas, they no longer offer in the restaurant. You can, of course purchase the recipe cookbook Araxi: Seasonal Recipes from the Celebrated Whistler Restaurant and try making it at home.

    As an alternative our server enticed us with Lemon Tart and promised it would be the best we’ve ever had. We ordered it along with a scoop of white peach sorbet.

    Lemon Tart 11.50: With candied lemon zest and limoncello syrup. Light and Tart. I still wanted my Raspberry Napoleon... but the white peach sorbet is a rare find and was quite refreshing!

    Araxi is one of those places fit for any occasion. If you are looking for the perfect date night restaurant in Whistler, than I would suggest you book Araxi in advance. This place was classy and elegant.
