Dining in Big White: Our Favorite Restaurants
One of the pleasures of staying at Big White Ski Resort is enjoying great food within walking distance from the Western Star Chalet. Whether you’re fueling up for a day on the mountain or settling in for a relaxed evening, these are the restaurants we most often recommend—each offering something distinct, yet all reliably excellent.
Keep in mind that dining options at Big White vary by season. Winter brings the most energy and extended hours, while summer offers a quieter, more relaxed Village experience with some reduced hours. During peak winter weekends and holidays, we recommend dining a bit earlier or checking availability in advance.

Toasty is a beloved Village café and an easy favorite for mornings and casual breaks during the day. Known for excellent coffee, pastries, smoothies, and toasted sandwiches, it’s the kind of place you’ll likely visit more than once during your stay. Cozy, efficient, and consistently good, it’s perfect for starting the day or grabbing something light between activities.
Best for: coffee, breakfast, and quick lunches.
