We had French onion soup, crispy duck legs, and the banana filo for a late lunch/early dinner. They were all Excellent! Everything was a described and incredibly flavorful. We also had the YVR cocktail and Lemon Drop Martinis. Both drinks were expertly crafted. In summary, amazing food and drink in a fun and inky place!

La Bocca was the worst value meal deal we've had here. The $31 dine-in menu promises a 3 course meal but its a waste of money. If the Dine In special is meant to attract locals, we suggest going elsewhere or leave hungry and annoyed like we did. Staff push the drinks so your $31 meal could end up a... More

Hi Ele560, I am shocked to hear that you did not enjoy your meal at La Bocca Restaurant and Bar. Especially considering that most of your comments are based on value and you enjoyed the best value that we offer – 3 courses of consciously sourced, sustainable, hormone free products for $31. The meals that you selected that evening are... More

Great restaurant for a nice dinner. Loved the regional selection of BC foods and wines. The menu was nicely varied with great salads and small plates, well prepared and presented and the service was friendly and responsive. We ate indoors in the late evening. The dining room offers an intimate, yet relaxed and comfortable environment. La Bocca is an excellent... More

This is a relatively small restaurant with a large outdoor patio. It was quite empty when we arrived at 7 pm but it might have been because it was a rainy Monday night. The service was good and they were also good about recommendations but it seemed that they liked everything. We found the wine quite expensive and the one... More

Menu looked good & located in middle of whistler village. Great place to people watch We waited for quite a while to be seated, place was not even a quarter full.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are horribly sorry you were neglected that way in our establishment. Our goal is to always serve our customers with the utmost efficiency, so it is obvious that we have failed you, and put you out in your wait for some brunch. It is extremely unfortunate, and we realize the time and hunger... More

I was very annoyed that they have the audacity to charge 12 + tax for 5 small chicken wings. Great mussels and worth every penny but please don't waste your money on the chicken wings WAY over priced. The owner might as well get rid of them so he doesn't upset others.
