Riverside Cafe and Catering — Restaurant in Whistler Resort Municipality

We heard great things about the RSC so we decided to give it a try for breakfast. About 2/3 of the tables were occupied and the line up to order was very short so ordering was quick. I never know where to stand on tipping when there is very little table service other than to deliver food and drink. I generally tip a full amount given that most staff at restaurants don't earn much. This is a rare case in that I wished I hadn't left as much. The server wasn't wearing a mask and there was no cleaning between customers. When we got to the table there was a sign directing customs to bus their own tables.

Our orders were quite simple; French toast and a waffle but after 45 minutes I felt I had to go inside and ask about our order. The server snipped at me saying, "We're very busy" but didn't offer an apology. While we continued to wait I noted that at the table of 4 beside us that 2 orders came out, then there was a delay for the third and another 10 minute delay for the 4th. When our food came it was ok. My Waffle was overcooked but my wife said her French toast was quite good. At least we sat in the sun.

Perhaps they were just...

One of the best places to go for breakfast! A little off the beaten track in Whistler, so it's usually fairly quiet, and there a few patio tables outside to get some sunshine. The food is great, comes quickly, and there is a lot of food for a decent price! If you're not super hungry I'd say you could probably share something.

The staff are very friendly, and I've noticed they are always happy to accommodate custom orders...if you're one of those people ;)....

If you really want a luxurious experience, don't forget to order their freshly squeezed...

Riverside Cafe is where I go to read the local newspaper, take inventory of my surroundings, and enjoy my eggs benedict - served to perfection every time. I'm a huge fan of the ownership and their team, who always provide a welcoming, positive and inviting atmosphere for me and my family. Wishing everyone well during these...
