2. Bearfoot Bistro
$$$$ | |As one of Whistler's top destination restaurants, this elegant bistro never fails to impress.

If everything looks too delicious to decide, let chef Melissa Craig customize a five-course tasting menu or you can simply go for the three-course menu. Allow the sommelier to do the wine pairings for a really masterful meal.

3. Beckta Dining and Wine
$$$$ | |With its ever-changing menu and nearly flawless execution, this contemporary Canadian restaurant consistently ranks among Ottawa's top dining spots.

Entrées might include succulent chicken breast on corn risotto, grilled lamb with roasted organic carrots and turnips, and seared scallops with summer succotash, tomato confit, and Serrano ham. Despite its lofty reputation, Beckta has formal but friendly service.

The sommeliers offer two astute wine-pairing options, or you can make your own choices from the impressive list. Dining in this Eden is an experience to be savored.

A low, exposed-beam ceiling and a stone fireplace aglow in winter create an in-from-the-cold aura; white napery provides a touch of elegance; and a changing menu keeps things interesting, with dishes that might include Alaskan king crab drizzled with lemongrass-ginger butter, sautéed wild British Columbia halibut in lemongrass-thyme sauce, or Alberta beef tenderloin in bordelaise.
