Altitudes Bistro is an alpine restaurant and bar at Grouse Mountain's Peak Chalet offering panoramic views, bistro fare, and weekly drink specials in Upper Lonsdale.
Stepping off the Skyride gondola at the Peak Chalet reveals a sweeping panorama where the city, Burrard Inlet, and distant peaks stretch out below. Altitudes Bistro occupies the upper floor of this alpine lodge, sitting 3,700 feet above North Vancouver with windows that frame everything from downtown glass to the Lions Gate Bridge. Since seating is first come, first served, the rhythm here depends entirely on your mountain plans, be it a post-Skyride lunch, an après ski stop, or an early dinner timed for sunset. The room hosts a mix of hikers descending from the Grouse Grind, skiers, sightseers, and locals treating the chalet as a weekend escape, often with the sounds of chairlifts and snow drifting in through the open patio.
The kitchen serves an approachable bistro menu suited to mountain appetites alongside handcrafted cocktails and those expansive views. Weekly specials provide a reliable cadence for return visits, though these discounts cannot be combined with passholder deals. Sundays feature ten-dollar Caesars and seven-dollar mimosas, while Mondays offer a Peak cheeseburger and Granville Island Grizzly Amber ale pairing for twenty-five dollars. Tuesdays bring half-price rosé bottles, Wednesdays discount Granville Island pints by two dollars, and Thursdays serve ten-dollar house margaritas with half-price tequila shots. Fridays highlight La Cerveceria Astilleros Salted Lime Lager pricing, and Saturdays pour Molson Canadian or Coors Lite pitchers for twenty dollars. Because hours shift with seasonal mountain operations, checking the current dining schedule on the Grouse website before heading up is always wise.
