A late-afternoon rain clears and the Village Stroll in Whistler exhales—steam rising from café doors, slate roofs dark against the shoulder of the mountain. You meet at the town library, then move like a small convoy of curious eaters: a lively tapas starter, a wood‑fire fondue that clings to conversation, a main course that tastes of local salmon and the coast, and a closing slice of chocolate or cheesecake. The tour compresses Whistler’s culinary personality into 3.5 hours of walking, tasting, and local stories.
