Food & Drink at Northstar

Why We Love the Restaurants at Northstar

Great food has a way of becoming part of your vacation memories, and that’s one of the reasons we always encourage guests to spend some time exploring Northstar’s dining scene. Whether you’re looking for a quick coffee before hitting the trails, a family-friendly lunch in The Village, or a memorable dinner after a day outdoors, you’ll find plenty of delicious options without ever leaving the resort.

One of the things we love about staying in Northstar is that you can easily walk to breakfast, lunch, happy hour, or dinner before heading back to your vacation rental to relax for the evening.

The Restaurants at Northstar

We often tell guests that some of the best vacation days are the ones where you take a stroll with no agenda and simply enjoy everything the resort has to offer. It’s one of the reasons we often recommend that our guests spend a day at Northstar no matter where they are staying!

One of the biggest advantages of dining at Northstar is the variety. The Village brings together casual cafés, grab-and-go favourites, family-friendly restaurants, and elevated dining, so whether you’re meeting friends for après after a bike ride or gathering the family for dinner on a patio, Northstar makes it easy to settle in and enjoy every moment.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, you’ll also find upscale dining nearby, while families will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and variety of options throughout The Village.

Beyond the Food

One of the things that makes dining at Northstar feel different is everything happening around it. During the summer, restaurant patios fill with families, couples, and groups enjoying the mountain air, while live music and seasonal events often bring extra energy to The Village.

We recommend taking a little extra time before or after your meal to stroll through the shops, grab dessert, and simply enjoy the atmosphere. It’s these unplanned moments that often become some of our guests’ favourite memories.

Groceries & Cooking

Not every meal needs to be at a restaurant. One of the things many of our guests appreciate about staying in a Northstar vacation rental is having a fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to prepare breakfast before a day on the trails, pack a picnic for the lake, or enjoy dinner on the deck after a day of adventure.

For groceries, fresh ingredients, grab-and-go meals, and vacation essentials, we often recommend stopping by Copper Lane Provisions in The Village. It’s a convenient place to stock up without leaving the resort and makes settling into your vacation that much easier.

A Few Local Tips

  • Make reservations in advance if you’re dining during holiday weekends or peak summer periods.
  • Patio seating is especially popular on warm summer evenings.
  • Plan dinner around one of the Village’s live music nights for an even more memorable experience.
  • Stop by for breakfast before heading out to hike, bike, or golf.
  • Save room for dessert or an evening stroll through The Village before heading back to your vacation rental.
