I chose The Chalet for the Fondue Experience to celebrate two very special occasions: my 21st wedding anniversary and my mother’s first visit to Canada from Brazil. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the expectations we had for such a meaningful evening. The first fondue, a cheese fondue, was overly salty and had a watery consistency, with only two types of cheese. It lacked the richness and sophistication one would expect from a proper cheese fondue. The second course, a chicken broth for cooking pieces of meat, turned out to be quite tiresome. The cooking process was so slow that we were already fatigued before we even made it halfway through the available meat. The biggest disappointment of the evening was the chocolate fondue. What should have been rich, pure chocolate was instead a low-quality chocolate cream, seemingly mixed with starch or other fillers to bulk it up. This compromised both the flavor and texture significantly. While the ambiance and service were excellent, the quality of the food did not meet the standards expected for such a significant celebration—or for the price charged. Sadly, the experience failed to make our special evening as memorable as we had hoped.

The initial contact at the host station was not very friendly and we were largely ignored. After I mentioned it, they seemed helpless and chaotic. Later they explained it was messy with the previous party wanting to change tables several times. However, that was not explained to us and the iPad with our reservation was taken away so no one knew what to do. They made up for it by comping our drinks and giving us a very nice table by the fireplace. Our waitress was excellent and provided exceptional service. The food, however, was quite pricey, but not of value. The ambience was not of a chalet in snow country. Very bright lights and there was a busy-ness there. Also trying to get a shuttle over from the Fairmont hotel was stressful. No one seemed to know what was happening and we kept getting the wrong answers. What we read on the website did not match what we experienced. I don’t think we will return. A very different experience than what we have had at the other Fairmont restaurants in Whistler at the Grill Room and Wildflower. Both of which we return often during our stays in Whistler.

The ambiance is beautiful in winter time. There was Christmas decorations, Christmas tree, fireplaces going, snow in the background. It wasn’t too loud. Our server was very knowledgable and attentive. But, we would not go back. The food is way over priced for what you get. The cheese fondue only comes with pickles and bread, and you have to pay 2x for it as it’s a two person minimum. (Along with anything else you get) The French onion soup was very good, but again not worth the price. The steak was fatty and shaved super thin and tasteless. We had to spit it out. The server was very apologetic and offered if we wanted something else. We tried the sausage, but it was mushy inside and wet and again had to spit it out. After that we asked for the check and skipped the chocolate fondue. Over all, good service, beautiful location, but over priced and meat is very below average.

We loved our dinner at The Chalet. It was so good and really one of the highlights of our time in Whistler. We had the $69 pp special which included salad or soup (both amazing, cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. Both the fondues were devine. We added the vegetable platter which was a very nice complement to the cheese. The service was excellent and ambiance lovely. We hope to go back soon!

We stayed at the Fairmont and expected our meal to be as beautifully prepared and presented as the photos presented from the hotel. Far from it! Fatty steak that we didn’t eat; so fatty we wouldn’t serve it to our dog. Salmon so thinly sliced we couldn’t use the skewers. It was a joke. Let’s not forget the glass of wine for $26.00 that was about 2 ounces. When I requested the standard 3 ounces, our waitress gave my husband and I the dirtiest look. Our two guests didn’t eat their food. They clearly didn’t like their fatty steak. Our bill was $300.00 plus, we left and went to Brickwork’s and had an amazing meal.
