Pique - Best of Whistler 2009
Voted
#1 Best Sushi, Voted 2nd for coolest staff
Nov.23, 2009 - Outside Magazine
MATTY RICHARD, 28, PROFESSIONAL BIG-MOUNTAIN SKIER
"I'd compare it to Verbier but nothing in North America. I moved here out of high school. We'd follow the pro skiers and see them smashing bottles. Whistler has a lot of nudity. There used to be more, but it still happens—go to Merlin's for après and girls may be dancing on the barstools topless. On a powder day we'll ski Blackcomb then go to Merlin's for beers and nachos. Then we'll go to Sushi Village with our ski boots on. After that, you hit one of the nightclubs—Tommy Africa's, Maxx Fish, Garfinkels. But I don't go out as much as I used to. I'm a professional athlete. HOT TIP There are rumors that during the Olympics the Jamaican bobsled team is going to throw parties with reggae bands at their house. [Editor's note: This is true.] I'm going to try to be there."

Sushi Village. Go to sleep and get up and do it all again."

- Border Mail, Feb. 9, 2002
"It may strike some as a little strange that in a mountain
town the top two restaurants, as voted by locals, specialize in
fish. Of course Sushi Village, which was the top vote getter, and
the Rimrock Café are about more than fish but voters definitely
have a taste for fish, as Sushi Ya and Monk McQueen's also earned
a number of votes. Ulis Flipside finished third."

Whistler's Sushi Village, the salmon is fresh off the Vancouver
docks. The Beautiful Roll is tops, but strawberry sake margaritas
are the principal reason for the rowdiness in the nine tatimi
rooms in the back." |
