Wow! The food was superb, one of the best meals I have ever had. We tried the beet salad and crab/shrimp roll. Delicious and well presented. We both had the rabbit for the main and it was amazing. It was wrapped in prosciutto + pork jowl, so soft and tender it was a joy in your mouth and the two large ravioli it came with was a nice compliment. We had too much complimentary warm buns before and had no room for dessert. The service was excellent.
We went during the time Araxi was featured in the show "Hells Kitchen" They offered a three course special paired with wine. The food and service was so good we made reservations for another meal before dinner was over.
Araxi might be centrally located right in the Village, but you’ll definitely want to change into something formal for an evening out at one of Whistler’s finest dining rooms. A sleek in-house oyster bar and an extensive wine program featuring more than 1,000 labels from B.C. and abroad make this restaurant a chic destination for upscale après ski dining. Executive chef James Walt, a forerunner in the farm-to-table movement on the West Coast, uses locally sourced ingredients to prepare ever-changing menus that feature chilled seafood towers, seasonal salads, and meaty mains like beef tenderloin, roasted duck breast, rabbit and venison.
If you’re escaping to the mountains for the 2015 holiday season and are in need of a full-service Christmas dinner, look no further than Araxi. Arguably Whistler’s finest fine-dining destination, the sleek restaurant is conveniently located in the Village Square and is open on Christmas Day for lunch (from 12:00 to 2:00 pm) and a traditional holiday dinner starting at 5:00 pm. The lunch menu features farm-to-table dishes served a la carte while the evening feast includes all of your traditional Christmas dinner favourites: Fraser Valley turkey, herbed stuffing, locally sourced roasted veggies, savoury gravy and cranberry sauce.
