I love mountain top dining experiences and on the top of Blackcomb Mountain I visited Christine’s. They are open for lunch daily and feature a 3 course menu. You can dine just as I did recently enjoying a selection of dishes from their 3 courses menu, as Lawrence joined me we opted to have 2 different dishes from each course and then we shared it all which allowed us to try 6 different dishes.

You will need to purchase a ticket for the gondola ride from the base of Blackcomb in addition to your dining experience. You can make a day out of it by purchasing the Summer Alpine Experience which not only gives you the gondola ride up Blackcomb but also gives you the Peak to Peak tram ride to Whistler mtn and then the gondola ride to the base of Whistler mountain in the village.

Once we got to the restaurant were seated right by the window with a spectacular view.

These are the dishes we had plus a couple of add-on’s.

Focaccia (add-on)

1st courses

Niçoise salad

Christine’s salad

2nd courses

Roasted Steelhead

Sundried Heirloom Tomato pappardelle

Crispy Brussels Sprouts (add-on)

3rd Courses

Eton mess

Raspberry sorbet

We took the under 20 minute gondola from the base to the top enjoying the picturesque scenery. At the top we explored a bit, walked some of the trails and took in the views.

I suggest you make an advance reservation for lunch.
