For a true ski-in/ski-out dining experience, SilverStar Mountain Resort offers an impressive assortment of quality restaurants, lounges, coffee shops and pubs, all easily accessible right from the slopes. With the vibrant Inner Village nestled between the summit and the base of the mountain, guests can choose to refuel with a snack in between runs before heading back down to the Summit Chair. This makes après-ski even more convenient, allowing for a hassle-free (and only seconds-long) commute for hungry travellers on the mountain.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, options for food and drink vary from contemporary Canadian fare and fresh baked goods to fine dining restaurants and cozy communal spaces in the heart of the Village. Whatever your preference (Dutch-inspired poutine, anyone?), SilverStar and the celebrated chefs who work there deliver delectable dishes bound to warm you up after a day on the mountain.

Red Antler
With a quirky name inspired by red and gold wallpaper (ask a regular), Red Antler is the newest addition to SilverStar’s culinary repertoire. Open for lunch and dinner, guests can stop by for some local Canadian fare in a cozy pub setting. Take a seat at one of the long communal tables and chat with a neighbour before pouring over the cocktail list – featuring Vernon’s own Okanagan Spirits. Dig into a poutine, and stick around for some live entertainment or the resort’s popular trivia night.
