Fifty Two 80 Bistro

WHISTLER VILLAGE. Forget the usual rough cut beams and antler chandeliers. The Four Seasons' Fifty Two 80 has a fresh approach to "mountain lodge décor" that manages to be simultaneously stylish, cosmopolitan AND rustic. There's stone, leather and wood in abundance, but the accents of vibrant mosaic tiles and a warm color palette brings the natural building materials right into this century. The menu brings Canadian cuisine up-to-date as well, in preparations such as pan-seared salmon with summer peas, chanterelles, bacon and fresh sorrel, or spit-roasted veal chop with mascarpone polenta and grilled asparagus. Fifty Two 80 also has a great bar, the crowning glory of which is a year-round terrace complete with firepit.
