FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARAXI INTRODUCES DEDICATED OYSTER BAR
-Après Ski Experience Elevated in Whistler –

Whistler B.C. December 4th, 2013 – In its quest to continually raise the culinary bar, Araxi – Whistler’s leader in exemplary food, wine and hospitality – has introduced a dedicated Oyster Bar just in time for the Whistler Film Festival.

As skiers and riders take their final turns of the day on WhistlerBlackcomb, an elevated après ski experience awaits at Araxi’s new Oyster Bar. Every afternoon from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, guests can enjoy a platter of fresh-shucked oysters for $15.00 while they unwind in Araxi’s warm yet contemporary setting. Experienced oystermen Patrick Cantin-Gayton and James Tims, who shuck up to a thousand oysters every evening, will also explain the subtle differences from a list that counts up to a dozen varieties delivered fresh daily.

Sleek in design and clad in stainless steel with a classic marble countertop, the Oyster Bar is located adjacent to Araxi’s bar and lounge. A convivial place to meet locals and fellow travelers, or to simply enjoy recommended oyster and wine pairings, Araxi’s Oyster Bar is open late and also provides an oyster du jour special from 10:00 pm to midnight.

Located in the main square of Whistler Village, Araxi enjoys a long-held international reputation for excellence. For more information on the new Oyster Bar or for reservations, please call Araxi at 604 932 4540 or click www.araxi.com.
