We've been coming to SideCut every year since 2014, and for good reason. The quality is always consistently high both in terms of the food and service. It ain't the cheapest place to eat but if you come here you can be confident you'll be at one of the best restaurants in town. The menu is small but that's because it's a steak house that knows what it's about. And you're likely to find things on here you may never see anywhere else. For example at the moment you'll see A5 olive-fed Wagyu from a specific prefecture in Japan. It sure is pricey but for one of those "once-in-a-lifetime" meals it's hard to beat. Find a rich friend if you have to. The winelist is getting progressively better over time. Still heavy on the big reds, as it should be, but read carefully and you'll find what you're looking for. Some great vintages to be spotted here and there. Last but not least, the staff are well-trained and genuinely friendly. No formulaic greetings here.

About the restaurant

Whistler, British Columbia, Canada… opened just before the 2010 winter Olympic, right across the street from the finish of Olympic downhill races. What a setting we have to bake flatbreads… in the heart of the Canadian Coast Mountains! Our crew is energized by the surrounding and when you come in, we want to make you happy. The Whistler-Creekside community has shown us tremendous gracious support and it is our job to return it with interest.

We happily welcome walk-ins for groups of 5 or fewer on the day of your visit. For groups of 6 or more, we kindly ask that you make a reservation in advance to ensure we can accommodate everyone comfortably. We look forward to hosting you!

Everything about this place was excellent. The food was amazing. We had the salmon and steak dinners, and they were cooked to perfection. The Caesar salad was also delicious.
