The mountain version of the Hatfi elds and

the McCoys is again the theme of this year’s

Whistler category, with Araxi (winner of

the award every time but once since 2000)

and Bearfoot Bistro (the “but once”) pre-

senting their diff erent takes on high-alpine

fi ne dining. Gold is Araxi: its supreme

consistency and fl awless presentation

continue to impress our judges. But there’s

a lso love for the controlled excess of silver

winner Bearfoot, where the steady hand

of chef Melissa Craig keeps the high-wire

operation in check. Bronze wa s snag ged

by newcomer (and Top Table stablemate to

Araxi) Bar Oso, where authentic Spanish

tapas, a vibe-y room and a much lower

price point than the other medallists make

it the hardest table to get right now.

Th e mountain version of the

Hatfi elds and the McCoys is

again the theme of this

year’s Whistler category.
