Dining
At all Fairmont hotels, kids aged 5 and under eat free off the children’s menu while kids aged 6-11 eat for half price off the regular menu. This is available in The Wildflower only. New this year: The expansion of the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts' Lifestyle Cuisine program to children’s menus - offering a healthy twist on the usual kid-friendly favorites such as chicken strips, pizza, spaghetti with meatballs and even chocolate mousse. Chefs are in the process of swapping out refined flour for whole wheat, incorporating fruits and vegetables into recipes to help meet the recommended daily fiber allowance, and employing alternative cooking methods to help ensure healthier choices are made available to young diners.
The Wildflower Restaurant
Open for breakfast, dinner and Sunday Brunch (seasonally), The Wildflower's casual setting is the ideal Whistler family restaurant. Children aged 6 - 12 can choose from the children’s menu or receive 50% off the regular adult menu. The Wildflower's family restaurant offers are available for Fairmont hotel guests only and available only in The Wildflower Restaurant.
