If you’re looking for a standout dining experience in Whistler, Sidecut Steakhouse at the Four Seasons Resort Whistler is a must. Sidecut offers a premium dining experience featuring top-quality Canadian beef, fresh seafood, and locally-sourced ingredients. Their signature rubs and house-made sauces truly elevate every dish, making it a standout among Whistler restaurants. Now is one of the best times to experience Sidecut during their Fall Prix Fixe Menu. This special menu is available Sunday through Thursday at $68 CAD per person. Included in the Fall Prix Fixe menu is your choice of starter, first course, main and dessert. There is, of course, the option to elevate your meal with additional enhancements and wine pairings at an additional cost. Check out my full review of the new $68 Sidecut Fall Prix Fixe menu below!
Sidecut Fall Prix Fixe Menu Review – Starters and First Course
To start there is your choice of three starters:
- Sunchoke & Potato Soup – spiced pepitas, textures of sunchoke, nutmeg chantilly
- Kabocha Squash Salad – pomegranate, feta, spinach salad with ginger lime dressing
- Beef Tartare – cured egg, truffle aioli, traditional garnish
As it is a steakhouse, you know I had to get the Beef Tartare. This was a gorgeous starter with very fresh beef. It was very flavourful and the cured egg adds a really strong umami punch. The sourdough bread was the perfect vehicle for this rich tartare. I highly recommend ordering this if you’re a fan of tartare.
The Baby Gem Caesar ($32.00) featuring Grana Padano, white anchovies, garlic crouton, organic egg and crispy maple bacon is another great starter.
For first course you have a choice of:
- Beet Carpaccio – truffle manchego, local honey, balsamic, toasted pecans
- Aburi King Salmon – truffle ponzu, sesame, scallion
- Crispy Pork Belly – fig and port reduction, brioche
The next course has a nice selection of dishes including a very unique Beet Carpaccio. It features a variety of beets and it is a beautiful dish with a multitude of colours.
However, I couldn’t resist ordering the Aburi King Salmon. This dish was a stand out for me. The salmon pieces were just melt in my mouth and the truffle ponzu helps to balance the fattiness of the salmon perfectly.
Sidecut Fall Prix Fixe Menu Review – Mains, Enhancements and Dessert
For mains you have a choice of:
- Mushroom Risotto – shaved truffle, Arborio rice, Grana Padano, truffle oil drizzle
- Pan Seared Duck – butternut squash gnocchi, crispy skins
- Petrale Sole Meunière – textures of swiss chard, confit turnips
- Grilled Striploin 6oz – herb potato cake, red wine jus, baby squash
There is a nice selection of main courses to choose from so there will definitely be something for everyone. The Grilled Striploin was my choice and it was a medium rare as requested. I found the steak to be a tad tough, and I personally don’t enjoy having my steak precut. I would recomment ordering the duck or sole instead.
For the main course, you can upgrade your mains for an additional cost. My friend got the Long Bone 52 oz for $350 and it is served and carved tableside and is definitely a showstopper. It can feed 3-4 people, so definitely a great option for sharing.
Additional sides that I would recommend adding to your meal include Jumbo Prawns (4oz $28), Potato Purée ($18) and Sauteéd Mushrooms ($19). These sides were so well executed and the Jumbo Prawns were some of the largest I have ever seen or eaten!
If you still have room, don’t forget that dessert is part of this menu! Choose from:
- Pear Crémeux – orange segment, vanilla shortbread, pear gel
- Chocolate Caramel Spiced Ganache – raspberry cake, toasted hazelnut
The Pear Crémeux was my choice and it was a beautiful delicate dessert to end the evening. The dessert was not too sweet and the butteriness of the shortbread pairs well with the light floral like pear gel. If you want a richer ending, definitly go for the Chocolate Caramel Spiced Ganache, it isn’t too sweet as well but the richness of the chocolate definitely shines.
