French Chef Alexander is a master artist, and his dishes delight and tantalize the palate. When you come, take the time to savor the subtleties and blends of flavors; be prepared to dine in this funky but magical spot north of Whistler in the soon-to-explode, gorgeous Pemberton Valley. I had a pork chop to top all pork chops served with... More

We came here a few times for both breakfast and dinner while we stayed in Permberton. We had at dinner here one night and the service was fantastic, and the food was decent. We had breakfast here the following day and again, great service and fantastic food (my husband said he had the best breakfast of the trip here that... More

On a Friday lunchtime, the only eating choice in Pemberton was Pony Espresso. The day was hot and it was pleasant to be able to eat outside. The menu is appetizing and our food, when it came, was well executed, but not remarkable. Service was friendly and efficient.

I doo not know where the "expresso" comes in. The invoice for lunch show The Pony. Had a great All day Breaky, Monsieur and pint of Lighthouse at 1:30 pm. Lots of locals. Great server Shannon and great prompt service. Total tab $35 plus $6 tip. Great short trip as a break from Whistler. Nice drive with several interesting stops.... More

The gourmet burger here is to die for!!! We happened upon this place as the parking lot looked busy and it was attached to a cycle shop and looked cute and cozy. The burger is over the top delicious on a homemade bun with onion jam and roasted tomatoes! And bacon! Trust me this is as good as it gets!... More

Wasn't expecting much, but it was amazing. Had the Quebecer's Breakfast - skillet with pan fries, baked beans, cheese curds, peppers, red onions, two poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce - awesome!

When you enter Pemberton you see a small village north of Whistler in a stunning valley. The quaint farming town offers more a nice relax to the hustle and bustle of Whistler. Though Pemberton along with its farming has amazing cuisine. So when you walk into the door of the Pony Express you see a charming full of atmosphere place.... More

The appetizers were amazing. The main courses were good but not spectacular. Our waitress was a bit all over the place but still got good service. They also have a nice selection of home made jams and wine vinegar. The breakfast stuff looked alright too.

We stayed in Pemberton over New Years since Whistler was overbooked. Stumbled upon The Pony for breakfast on our first morning , The place had avery cozy country feel fto it, lots of woodwork and a nice warm wood stove in the otherwise open room. Breakfast was delicious and had a home cooked flavor rather than diner taste. The bread... More
