 Araxi Restaurant Restaurant Review: A sibling to Vancouver's CinCin, Blue Water Café and West restaurants, Araxi is one of Whistler's longstanding culinary cornerstones. Named by owner Jack Evrensel for his wife---it's the de facto refuge for après skiers, with sought-after patio dining during summer months. Chef James Walt introduced 100-mile menus showcasing locally sourced ingredients in savory and sweet recipes through two distinct seasons---summer and winter. The seafood and oyster bar serves an extravagant two-tiered seafood tower piled with oysters, spot prawns, Dungeness crab, arctic char, and more. An inventive small-plates menu includes a BC spot prawn risotto and a smoky tomato soup with Carmelis goat cheese mousse. We recommend the Yarrow Farm duck main with baby artichokes and stinging nettle gnocchi. Similar inventive touches show in the red tuna that’s smoked over alder, grilled, and served with an avocado and tomatillo salsa verde. Aaron Heath's smaller scale desserts are intense and memorable---a trio includes poached rhubarb frozen with strawberries and a millefeuille compote. Ice cream bars are cloaked with dark chocolate, sauced with warmed dulce de leche, and paired with Elephant Island framboise from the Okanagan Valley. The wine list has been nurtured since 1981 and features an array of Champagnes, local and imported vintages, plus some rare finds. Restaurant director Neil Henderson and the knowledgeable staff are consummate hosts. |
