Fable Kitchen in Vancouver

We had to wait a long time before a hostess came to check in with us. The servers seemed uninterested and not that friendly. I ordered the glory breakfast sandwhich, and it was mediocre at best. The ketchup for the potatoes came in a small skinny jar that was too small for the potatoes, so dipping wasnt an option; I had to scoop the ketchup out with a knife and put it on my food. The atmosphere was nice and cozy though.

Last minute dine did not disappoint. From sitting at the bar watching the chefs work, to the amazing dishes and just cool servers, down to earth and warm. One of the best meals and experiences I ve has in a while, huge thumbs up, thanks everyone

Meh. I don t know what the hype is about for this place. I ordered a medium well steak and got a dry, well done one. For the prices, and reputation, this is unacceptable. They were also unwilling to cater to dairy allergies, under the notion of the chefs are too passionate about their menus and would be very upset to modify it in any way

I ll start by saying the food was delicious. We had the duck meatball, zucchini, waygu, and clam and fries. The service, however, was terrible. While everyone was nice, there were several points where service severely lacked. - drinks took forever (our first dish came out before the drinks) - before we had a chance to order 2nd drinks.. our remaining 3 dishes were all served at the same time (I m not sure how anyone expects customers to truly enjoy their meal in that manner - dishes get cold sitting on the table) - we finished our food and the dirty dishes sat cluttered on our table for 15+ mins while trying to enjoy our glasses of wine - as plates were finally cleared we asked to see a dessert menu.. the server forgot and presented us with our bill. Unfortunately, while the food was really good.. the service impacted our overall experience and we did not enjoy our dinner here. It was also my partner s birthday, which I indicated in the reservation note, and there was no reference to my note at all. Overall, sorry to say we were let down by this experience. We will not be returning anytime soon.

Nice little place. Very busy and loud indide. We had a reservation for Sunday brunch. Otherwise, it was an 1hr wait. Friendly staff, very accommodating. Very reasonably priced menu. Food was very good. Coffee Id also good. Would go again for sure. Parking: Have to park on one of the streets around. Parking is $6/hr on the 4th Ave.

Super disappointing our first experience at Fable Kitchen. I was taking my friends from Seattle who were in town to celebrate US Thanksgiving. I wish I had chosen to take them elsewhere. I had been wanting to try Fable for a long time since it is a Michelin Bib Gourmand. However, the food was poorly prepared. I did the 3 course tasting and the risotto was the saltiest Ive ever had. The main which was a piece of squash was rock hard in the center. We sat for 1.5 hrs before our mains arrived. The wine tasting I ordered was not presented with each dish. I had to ask for the pairing each time. The dessert was the most disturbing experience Ive had of a dessert ever, a cheese fondue with bland white cake, picked grapes and pecans... They forgot to bring the dessert pairing at all but I was still charged for it. I didnt realize that I didnt get the pairing until after we left since I was so disturbed by the whole meal. On the positive side, our server was friendly. The kitchen comped the cocktail I ordered at the beginning of the night to compensate for the salty risotto and took 10% off the main dish which was the squash since it was rock hard. (Not a very satisfactory situation since I didnt even get all of my pairings, the service was super slow and the food was the worst Ive had in Vancouver.)

This place is BRILLIANT. The food is distinctive, farm to table fresh, and beautifully prepared. There is a strong sense of a chef with a very particular approach and attitude to food here and it makes for an amazing experience. The duck meatball in parmigiana foam is extraordinary- I had read not to miss it. But the basil emulsion that came with the grilled zucchini turn the fairly ordinary vegetable into an event that I will not soon forget. Dont get me started on the Basque cheesecake. All this and it was very reasonably priced. And our server Virginia was the best! She told me to say that but it was true

Cozy place and great customer service. They made a good effort to accommodate us. We had a good time there. I recommend.

Lovely atmosphere, excellent friendly service but the November tasting menu was a big disappointment. We found it uninspired, lacking in flavour and definitely not worth the money. The dessert was especially not well matched to the rest of the meal. Who wants to dip cake and nuts in cheese fondue after the heaviness of risotto, lentils, beans and squash? Seemed so out of place. Two drinks each and two tasting menus, plus tip was $235. Not worth the money. Have heard good things about this restaurant but our experience was disappointing food-wise.

Tasting menu: the risotto was very good, but the squash steak was not good, no spices, not even a bit of salt, so blend. And the cake for the desert was not that good.

Tonight dinner a bit over salt. Event tho we had a few drink with our main dish. So the salt cover the other flavour. The drink was great. We order many drinks. Probably the best cocktail in Vancouver.

I don t understand why a restaurant would allow us to book a table for a 1:30pm lunch and then tell us (multiple times until we left) that they close at 2pm. Extremely disappointing. We had a girl s lunch planned. Do you actually expect people to eat and run? We had little choice. We won t be in a hurry to go back. Unfortunately the food didn t blow us away either. My friends and I frequent restaurants and often need a place to take clients for both lunch and dinner meetings. We all agreed that we wouldn t go back to Fable. We thought you were a bit more upscale Simply not a great experience and definitely not cool!

The food was really great! Loved both the eggs benny and the basque cheesecake

Great find off the beaten tourist track. Wonderful food and near perfect service with a great personal touch. Will definitely return

From the friendly greeting at the front door by our knowledgeable hostess to the last bite of Basque Cheesecake , our evening was perfect. In between, the Duck and Couscous and Steelhead Trout were cooked to perfection; only surpassed in flavour by their accompanying sauces. Vegetarian options: The chickpea fritters (perfectly accompanied by the vegan curry mayo) and zucchini were both highlights in flavour (loved the unexpected pistachio with an al dente zucchini). Dietary restrictions: The options for people happily alcohol-free were quite extensive. Thoroughly enjoyed the no-alcohol Bourbon Sour and would come again just for cocktails if not hungry.

Yummy food! Good service

I only really do upscale breakfasts when Im travelling. And after parsing the plethora of brunch places in this part of town, Im glad I ended up here. Pork Belly Benny was awesome, added bonus of in-house hot sauces. Service was prompt, engaged and friendly. I gotts dock one star b/c if youre sat at a table nearest to the front there was a clash between lighting, glare from the windowside and then just slightly too dim on the inside. But other than that, thumbs up!

Always tough to judge a place based on the Dine out Vancouver menu. But enjoyable and interested to return

Fable is the perfect spot for special occasions, offering a cozy ambiance and attentive service. The food is delicious, made with fresh, farm-to-table ingredients that really shine in every dish. With great flavors and a welcoming atmosphere, it s a place you ll want to return to again and again.

Great service and atmosphere.

Food: 1. Pear Salad: While the presentation was pretty, the portion was quite large for a starter. I found myself feeling full before moving on to the main course. The combination of pear and cheese didn t quite resonate with me, and I felt the salad could have been more refined perhaps with a smaller portion or a different starter altogether. 2. Steelhead Trout: The cream sauce complemented the fish beautifully, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that I enjoyed. 3. Chocolate Budino: very sweet and had a rich chocolate flavor. Service Our server (forgot his name)was exceptionally kind and attentive. However tasting menu left me a bit disappointed. I d be interested in trying individual dishes(not tasting menu) on my next visit.

Everything was amazing. Delicious food, excellent service and friendly staff.

This place was amazing. I think it might have been one of the best meals I have ever had! Everything was thoughtful and delicious. The portions were great, and the flavors were well thought out. The staff was so helpful. Also, for a Michelin Star restaurant it was very affordable.

We were glad we walked by and decided to try Fable Kitchen. First of all, it is a place where you can enjoy brunch and have a conversation you can hear each other, which is something rare in the area. My wife and I had the Traditional Benny. It was OK. The hollandaise in it was a let down though. It was so acidic that unfortunately it tasted like mayonnaise you can get in a supermarket. I admit that getting that taste in our first bite did not match the high expectation created by the Michelin sign at the door. The service was great. A special thank you for the host (Ron, I believe), Sebastian and Nicole. All three super professionals and friendly. We would go back to try something else for sure.

Amazing experience!

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and amazing service. Our waiter was super nice and very helpful. I had the duck, zucchini and pea fritters. Also had a glass of Syrah, which goes very well with the duck. I highly recommend this place especially if you are going on a date.

Service and atmosphere were pretty good. The restaurant looks really nice and the staff is friendly. The food was really bad though. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The appetizer was so sweet it could have been a desert. For the entree we had a maple glazed halibot with grilled cabbage and beure blanc. The beurre blanc was split and really sour. The fish was overcooked. The cabbage was so tough it was inedible for one person. The desert was just really sweet with no interesting flavour combinations, nothing to balance the sweetness and a dissatisfying texture. I did like all the wine pairings however. But the average home cook can do alot better at home

Too salty

I visited here for the first time with a couple of friends for lunch a few weeks ago. We were welcomed by our friendly waiter who served us a glass of water immediately. The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice and inviting. After looking at the menu, I was debating between 2 different dishes, the fried chicken sandwich or the traditional benny. After asking the waiter which one was best, I was advised that the sandwich would be good for a bigger appetite. I wasnt super hungry so I chose the traditional benny, one of my friends had the same and the other friend ordered the clams and fries. The food came fairly quickly, it looked and smelled so good. The traditional benny was delicious and the potatoes were fantastic. I really enjoyed this meal. Throughout the meal our water was being refilled without having to ask for it. The food was delicious, the service was good and the atmosphere was very nice as well. I will definitely come back in the future!

I was celebrating becoming a grandmother that day and they really made the dinner special. We had the tasting menu and the food was divine and our server Lisa was just amazing. Love this place

Really bad food and expensive .

Great food, attentive staff...dont miss rosti

Had the salmon, duck meatball and clam. They were all tasty.

Came for a bite during happy hour. Great food. No wonder they are listed on the Michelin guide. House wine was good, too. A must when you are in Vancouver

Food was ok. Burger was a bit overcooked. Our server though looked like she didn t want to be there. She didn t smile at us once. Our mimosas sat at the bar for 15 min and she was standing there organizing salt & pepper shakers. They also promoted the prohibition brunch but did not accommodate us and brought us a regular bill. She didn t ask us because obviously she didn t care one bit. Your staff attitude matters sometimes more than the quality of the food.

Everything has been fantastic, starting with the chickpeas fritters moving to the pork belly and the trout, and the dessert too. Nice atmosphere, lovely place, delicious food, great attention to the ingredients and a very original pairing between ingredients, don t miss this place.

Oh where to start Ordered San Pellegrino for the table. Not cold. It s 30 degrees and had to ask for ice to cool the water. Ordered 5 vegetarian dishes to share. Kale salad was bad. Chewy, bland, unevenly salty and served in a half circle on a lg plate that looked ridiculous. Chickpea fritters were dry, overly cumin flavoured without sufficient topping. One winner was the zucchini. Delicious, but had to scrape the plate for the sauce. Beet gnocchi for $32 was ok, but seemed poorly thought out and plated. Enoki mushrooms deep fried, piled on a small plate, again with sauce on the bottom, invisible on a light plate and useless for the top pieces. Impossible to cut, bland, and not the mushroom best suited to frying. Throughout, I had to repeatedly clear our small table bc no one was. Drinks sat almost empty with no one asking if we wanted more. Bathroom had wrinkled papers on a bulletin board on the wall, looked dirty. And maybe put all the candles away for the summer. The fact that this place got a Bib Gourmand mention makes me seriously question Michelin because it was sub par in all categories. Way too many good restaurants in the city to go to this place. Vegetarian options: Several but only one with protein and where it said feta we never tasted any. Stomach grumbling 2 hrs later.

Hi, the food and service were fantastic, my Daughter and her husband took me there because I recently had a mini-stroke a month ago and I fell down stairs that were sloping down so they wanted to treat me with a special day .I wanted to buy a coffee mugs with the restaurant name on it for a Keepsake please let me know if I can

Amazing food and excellent service! Only thing to mention is a table of 6 that would laugh so loud the whole restaurant would hear but that s about it awesome place

Fancy place. Definitely somewhere you want to bring a partner to impress. Menu is one page but many veg options. The wine and beer choices are well done, with a variety to satisfy almost everyone. My waitress was so kind as to bring a tiny glass of wine for me to try. The food was tasty and delicious. Would love to come back. The lemon potatoes were outstanding. The brioche bread to start was a nice treat. Located in a popular part of town: 4th ave

Was really looking forward to eating here and decided to bring my visiting family since I had heard much hype. Given the price , I dont think the quality and portions live up to standard . It wasnt a terrible meal but nothing spectacular which I think would be the expected experience as a Michelin star and above average prices. Sharing plates on the menu are quite small so questionable as sharing.

The entire experience was wonderful. Adam took care of us and made sure the dishes came out at a nice pace despite some in our party ordering the tasting menu and others ordering off the regular menu. The staff took care to seat parties in separate corners to add to the privacy and ambiance until the restaurant started to fill up and that was no longer possible. The food was EXCELLENT. Everything our party ordered was delicious. Sometimes it can be so difficult to find places with unique food that s not over the top and Fable excelled in that area. We highly recommend Fable and if we travel to Vancouver in the future we ll be back! Thank you again!

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!! The food is so good with the unique sauce and ingredients compared to other Italian restaurants. I can eat here every day. AND THE PRICE IS SO AFFORDABLE (or cheap). I love it

Delicious food here! Great attentive service as well. Had an excellent experience.

Another brunch place ticked off my list. Place was always packed so would recommend a reservation. Honestly, tables were pretty close together so it s hard to talk with how noisy the restaurant was. Service was alright, but I thought it was pretty shady for the waitress not to confirm that the extra pickles were extra charges. Most people in our group ordered the french toast (courtesy of me of course hahaha), however it s not as good as I expected given the rave reviews online imo. The brioche was way too floppy, flavour wise it was just sugary sweet, and there s barely any fruits. Got the same sentiment across their other items (they were decent, not great). Once is enough for me. List of items we ordered and the prices (I didn t try their dishes so can t rate them): 1. French Toast ($18) 2. Kitsilano Vegan Bowl ($18) 3. Fable Breakfast ($18) 4. Smash Burger ($19) plus cheese ($2)

It has been many years since I ve been to Fable, and it s nice to see that little has changed (which is a very good thing). Staff is outstanding. Pleasant, helpful, and very attentive. Ambience is lovely and suits a variety of occasions. Food was delicious. My friend and I loved every plate we had. Two minor quibbles: I loved that they had a price fixe tasting menu, but it would have been nice to have had at least two options for each plate/course. Next is wine. I had a glass of Pinot noir and it was lukewarm in temperature. I don t know if they have a functioning wine fridge or if they only use it for whites, but they definitely need to chill their lighter reds. Thankfully, our sever heard me mention this to my friend and (unprompted) bright me a small glass of ice where I could rest my mini-decanter with the remainder of my wine. Speaking of Pinot, while it is great that Fable showcases so many great BC wines, their choice of local Pinot was a bit basic, especially considering the many quality options available. Again, these are minor issues, and will by no means prevent me from returning and recommending Fable enthusiastically to friends and family.

$18 Fable breakfast was disappointing

Delicious food and kind service. The ambience is great for a date night, with an intimate and romantic feel with the candlelight. Lots of great dishes to share. Favourite were the chickpea bites. Wagyu was a bit underwhelming, but still tasty.

Yesterday my daughter and I visited Fable for the first time for about 4 or 5 years. We had been regular visitors prior to that, as part of our annual Bard on the Beach father/daughter experience and to celebrate significant dates as a family. It was our favourite place. So we ordered our favourite dishes - duck meatball, chickpea fritters and gnocchi - and I m sorry to say we were disappointed. Everything had changed and not for the better. The meatball was smaller and solid, no longer hollow and injected with juice. Our server explained that the chef changed the recipe to make it less labour intensive . The fritters were small cubes, the texture not as light and moist as the previously circular puck shaped versions. No comparison. And the gnocchi was nothing like the substantial plate we had shared and enjoyed on so many occasions. Gone were the layers of squash puree, pesto and burnt onion dust. (I remember the first time eating the dish, discovering all the layers of flavour, and have since tried to emulate it at home!) Instead we had vinegary morel mushrooms, fresh peas and bland ricotta(?) mouse. The added pork belly was ordinary too. The cocktail was good and the service friendly. We split the bill, and for a beer, a cocktail, two appetizers, a shared entree and tip it cost us $60 each. We are very sorry to say we won t be coming back or recommending your place anymore.

Visited Fable for the first time today. There was maybe 4/5 tables already seated. Our table of 3 ordered some coffees, one bowl of soup and two croque madames. After 40 minutes we started to question why the food was taking so long. A table of five who sat 10-15 minutes after us got their food before our table. The server told us there was a big wait because there was only one person working in the kitchen. Had to leave without even getting my food. Absolute waste of our entire group s time; would not return or recommend. There is much better places to eat in the area.

Best dinner I ve had in a long time. Our waiter Adam was extremely helpful and kind. Staff were helping everyone out. Surprised the place wasn t at full capacity for a Saturday night. Highly recommend this spot. Had their tasting menu and for $60 you get so much food. Going to come here again.

My partner and I have been here twice and both times the delicious food and cosy atmosphere didn t disappoint! We especially want to highlight Adam s exceptional customer service - he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Thanks so much and we ll definitely be back!

Very good things

Weve always enjoyed our visits to Fable, and last night was no exception. It fits into a welcome niche between a high-end night out and something more casual and affordable, meaning we can wander in whatever we re wearing, and without blowing our entire dining-out budget, still enjoy the kind of meal one expects from a Michelin-recommended chef. And it s a well-deserved recommendation. Chef Mathew is a wellspring of all those qualities you want from the person orchestrating your meal he s passionate, attentive to detail, organized, and has a great talent for making you feel like a valued guest. The serving staff is just as warm and friendly. We decided to sit at the chef s table a short row of bar-style seating as you walk in, directly facing the kitchen specifically to watch the kitchen staff at work; we were so glad we did. This isn t the kitchen from the movie Burnt, with Bradley Cooper screaming at exhausted sous-chefs, but rather a confidently well-oiled machine (saffron-infused oil, I m sure,) of good vibes, industry experience, and efficiency. A few minutes after we took our first bites of halibut, Chef Mathew paused while plating a dish, glanced up with a knowing smile, and asked if it was good oh yes Chef, we assured him, every bite was excellent. I encourage you to do what we did as a change of pace in your usual dining experience sit at the chef s table and connect with the passion and work that goes into preparing a truly exceptional meal. Most of us have become so detached from where our food comes from, but equally so from how it s prepared. Watching someone like Chef Mathew share a taste of sauce with his staff, explaining the ingredients and why it compliments the dish so well, watching the passion and joy it gives them both, it might change how you approach your own cooking at home, inspiring your own budding passion for creating delicious meals. Theres certainly plenty of great food to be found in Vancouver, but this was more than that it was a great experience I recommend to anyone.

Overall an Ok meal. The house made bread was fine, salad was good, steelhead with crispy skin was excellent, duck meatball on pasta was delicious However there were some negatives: - The strip steak was quite tough and had lots of gristle, not sure I liked the sauce either. - I was told the brownie would be on the lighter side relative to other brownies but it was quite dense, served slightly cold (not sure if that was intentional) and overly sweet. There also wasnt a lot of accompaniments other than a small amount of marshmallow substance and raspberry sauce. I took the rest home, microwaved and ate with some vanilla ice cream and it was much better. - The gnocchi and mushrooms were served together as a course however the gnocchi did not have enough flavor to be anything other than a side dish. In fact the server explained at the beginning that we should order some proteins as they came alone and then order some shared plates as sides. I think partially the issue was the tables are very small and the dishes are served on huge plates so theres not enough space to bring out the proteins and sides at the same time. - The potatoes werent crispy and sauce was just ok For over $300 after tip I think it was on the pricy side for the quality of food but not terrible.

Not good selection for brunch and poor display , nothing special any more No wonder not so busy Big change to the worst . Of course never again Food : 2/5

Best breakfast place in all of Vancouver. Better than OEB and Yokes. You get what you pay for here. everything is fresh and delicious. French toast, and benedicts are must . If you sit at the bar. You can appreciate the cooks making working hard making all the food.

We ate brunch here, overall, pricy for what we got. We ordered a special banana loaf based toast, which I don t recommended. It is kind a mixed of desert with breakfast, tastes strange. For the Benny, it is ok, not impressed, but better than the banana loaf toast. The portion for the food is not large enough to serve as a brunch, probably only a light breakfast. The place is not very bright, but I got it, a lot fancy restaurants run in this dark way so that we can got a intimate feeling.

Maybe we had too high expectation as a Michelin Guide restaurant. We tried 7 menus with some drinks. Starters, drinks, dessert were absolutely fantastic; however, all the main dishes didnt meet our expectation.. There are many x 2 other restaurants that can do better, even the Keg. After we got back home and read the Michelin Guide web page and realized the description mainly talks about daytime food and just 1 sentence for the dinner. And the dinner menu is not available currently. Our server was a gentleman and he was one of the best weve ever met in the last couple years. 4 stars including the experience at the restaurant, but Id say 2-3 stars for the entree only. Maybe well try someday for the brunch only.

We visited the restaurant back in March 2024 during our vacation in Vancouver and enjoyed this restaurant. It was hard to make a choice, so many good things on the menu and that what we chose exceeded our expectations. Great food and excellent service.

Truly loved this little gem. Our server Adam was attentive and we loved his personality. He really made our dinner lovely. The selections of wines were great and complimented the food exceptionally well. Without hesitation, I recommend the duck meatball with tagliatelle, as well as the enoki share dishes. The halibut was cooked perfectly, and the pork belly was the best I ever had. The staff was lovely and I would recommend Fable to friends and family if they visit Vancouver! Ps. Get the basque cheesecake! -MDEL + Orson

Checked with the host before seating that they d be able to accommodate gluten free at brunch. Discovered later that they had no gluten free bread and all potato is cooked in a gluten contaminated fryer. Disappointing that they couldn t accommodate, had to eat elsewhere.

We came to Fable Kitchen for brunch. It was a lovely experience- wonderful food and service! Definitely recommend upgrading to the rosti :) Plan to visit again for dinner soon!

Great vibes and even better food. Everything we tried was mind blowing. Treat yourself and get the meatballs. (no photos cause the company and food were so good I was distracted ). And don t forget the cockatils/mocktails!!

Its quickly become our favorite brunch place! Yet to try their dinner

Went for the first time this morning and immediately added to my list of favorite restaurants. We both got the trucker breakfast with the belly bacon + sausage on the side and it was absolute perfection. Every single thing was just delicious from the real butter and real maple syrup to the perfectly cooked belly bacon.

Food was super bland and uninspiring, just ordinary breakfast items that were at best cooked with just oil and some salt. I could have gotten that breakfast at almost any diner in town. Portions were also super small, the decor was overtly kitsch/silly, and the lighting was so dim it was an aggressively romantic brunch. In Vancouver Im sure you can find somewhere with better food which doesnt rely on goofy decor to try and impress its patrons. Im confident this place is only open because people get tired of waiting for jam just up the road (without the potatoes). Edit: Ive checked some of the other reviews on here and bland potatos and breakfast seems to be a bit of a trend. If you are going for brunch, be safe and order something overtly rich.

Get the French toast for breakfast. Worth coming across the city for it. I also got a fresh squeezed apple juice. Good light breakfast to start the weekend.

Cozy, eclectic, delicious, high quality ingredients, fabulous enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable service. Had a wonderful meal here. Jen our server made it feel like home. The menu is limited as they adhere to farm to table philosophy and use the best of whats in season. Naturally it changes often, looking forward to a new experience on next visit!

Foods were horrible. Ordered 4 brunch plates. 3 of them was not edible. I love sour foods but the salad was too sour to eat. Pepper jam was horrible. Surprised how they got Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Such a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ve chosen the place as it is in the Michelin guide; my mistake. The drinks were good, we ve ordered a manhattan and 2 mocktails, they were nice and pretty. Unfortunately, the food was not as expected. Even though at the beginning my partner and I not so bad starters bread and amouse-bouche the entree was forgettable. My partner ordered gnocchi with pork belly, it was all too fatty to say the least. I ve ordered duck with lentils what a shame, it was simply bland. Even after putting salt on it (to try to lift the flavour), it had no taste. For a $40 plate, it s def not worth the money. Lastly, we ve got the desert, a brownie. It was too sweet! The marshmallow was too overpowering on the whole plate, it s not harmonious at all. Overall, it was a bad experience. I do not recommend the restaurant. Edit: my partner feels sick today (the next day). Her stomach hurts and she s feeling a lot of nausea.

Bland food, lovely service. Cosy spot. Would recommend for atmosphere but not for food.

Loved coming here as part of the Dine Out Vancouver Festival! Its great that a couple of the dishes (the duck meatball and brownie) appear to be regular (and popular) dishes on the normal menu. My favourite dish was probably the duck meatball - it tasted great!! The service was incredible as well, really nice, polite and friendly. I didnt feel like we were really rushed out of the restaurant, however I wouldve appreciated a little more time to enjoy the food between each course. However, the restaurant was very busy with the dine out scheme going on, so Im not surprised! Im looking forward to coming back again!

We came here for dine out Vancouver, and found the food to be 10/10. We included the wine pairing with our experience as well. The wine came out at least 10 min before each dish arrived at our table, which was a bit disappointing. The restaurant was very busy and felt like they were short a set of hands in the dining room. The atmosphere is great. It is warm, unpretentious and inviting. Next time I want to try one of their creative cocktails and I look forward to experiencing their full menu. Will definitely recommend and go back.

Really delicious food, great service, and nice atmosphere!

Let me start by saying that I love the name of this resturant. The vibe is so nice, and fable makes me think of fairytales even though it also represents farm to table, super witty play on words. The ingredients that they use here are amazing and everything is cooked super well. My only constructive criticism is that the flavour of the dishes could be improved and I understand that the resturant is trying to be hip with all the healthy options, but I really wouldve loved if my risotto was made with regular risotto rather than the healthier alternative that they used. I would also really not recommend the chai seed pudding, just not great. On the other hand, the duck meatball and pasta is cooked very well but it really needed more sauce, the salmon was cooked to perfection, would definately recommend. Overall, not bad and I wouldnt mind coming back again.

Atmosphere and food was pretty good, was really disappointed with the service. Me and my partner were there to celebrate our anniversary and all started out well until we ordered. We ordered the bread to start and i specifically said to start so that it would be brought out before the main course. I noticed many table that ordered after us were getting there food before us so I asked the waitress who was attending us why it was taking longer for us to get our bread she then said it was coming all together which is not what I asked for. I called for another waiter to let him know we asked for the bread to start and all he said was oh sorry. We got everything together which took over 45 minutes to get. The waitress who attended us (some taller blonde lady) then proceeded to ignore us and was checking on every one else around which is very poor people skills, its also very obvious the waitress was having a bad attitude towards us as the tables are so close together you can hear her attitude change when she came to us and when she was attending others. Over all probably wouldnt go here again as the experience was awful. Not really fine dining.

Unbelievable meal, staff and ambience. Highly recommend ordering one of the amazing cocktails. The sable fish, duck , and pork belly were out of this world.

In a single line; unpretentious amazing food. We had an amazing experience at Fable last night - expertly crafted cocktails, and amazing food prepared with very high quality ingredients. An amuse-bouche featuring sunchoke puree started our meal, and from there we moved to bread (fantastic) and the duck meatball (complex, fantastic textures, and a perfect light tagliatelle). Chickpea fritters (more like squares than fritters, dense but lightly flavoured and crispy with a delicious curry flavoured paste). For our sides we had the Brussel sprouts (not as crispy as I would have liked but good), patatas bravas (roasted potatoes and parmesan with a. Unique tomato sauce), maitake mushrooms (perfectly cooked small bunches of maitake mushrooms, in a sauce that I wanted to lick off the plate - best side!), and the gnocchi with pork belly (delicious, great sauce, and perfectly cooked pork belly nuggets to die for). Our mains were the duck and sable fish - sable fish seems to be a Vancouver staple (for good reason) and so it can be a good comparative measure of a restaurant - this was, hands down, the best sable fish Ive had in Vancouver. Just perfectly cooked, seasoned, and presented. Accompanying sauce and greens (cress) was amazing and perfectly complemented. The duck was beautiful - a slight smokiness with a delicious sauce, and perfectly cooked. Wait staff was present, but not overbearing - friendly and informative, the bartender was a pleasure to talk to and full of good information. We will absolutely be back!

went for brunch today....great food and service..person on the phone was very pleasent as we tried to make reservation..will go again for sure.....

A disappointing end to 2023 - Fable Kitchen has been my go-to spot in Vancouver since 2015 and I was looking forward to celebrating NYE with their tasting menu last night. Things started off well with their house bread and butter - dont think this recipe has changed at all over the years. Then followed the risotto, which was definitely a couple minutes past al dente but still a serviceable dish. This is going to be a recurring theme for the rest of the meal. Im not sure if the kitchen was just overwhelmed by the NYE menu / understaffed, but things were clearly being left on the burner far too long and wait times between courses stretched on. Following the risotto was the pasta course - I had ordered the green pea carbonara while some others at the table ordered the pasta amatriciana. The pasta amatriciana was very underwhelming - bland with that sour tang reminiscent of a jar of store-bought tomato sauce. The carbonara was alright. Unfortunately, the rest of the dinner was a disaster. We all ordered the surf and turf and had 4 of the 5 steaks come out medium-well to well-done. Even after they were refired, the filets were tough & bland, and the scallops tasted past their prime with an overwhelmingly briny flavour. It was undoubtedly the saddest main Id ever had at Fable - not only from an execution standpoint but also from how uninspired the overall dish was. The general manager was also pretentious in addressing the matter. She insisted that it was impossible the filets were overdone as they were cooked sous vide and took care of things in a very well what do you want me to do manner. And lastly, the dessert. A ramekin of tepid chocolate sauce accompanied by stale donuts (were talking strain-your-jaw stale), store-bought marshmallows, and miscellaneous fruit thrown together haphazardly on a plate. For this to be the dessert at the end of a $110 tasting menu was mind-boggling. Unfortunately, it seems that with the new chef leading the way, the restaurant seems bound to lose both its Bib Gourmand status and its status as the beloved neighbourhood joint it once was. Perhaps the dining experience is still salvageable if one were to order the old classics on a regular day (e.g. chickpea fritters, duck meatball, pork belly gnocchi), as I imagine those recipes are still the same. However, I will likely not be returning to Fable again.

the servers were so nice we shared the pulled pork pancakes which were tasty but so large that we only finished a bit over half the portion between the two of us. the pulled pork was delicious and cornmeal pancakes were pretty good and came with maple syrup and hot sauce. their bottomless coffee was great as well! yum!

Fable is an exceptional dining experience. Truly fantastic service, phenomenal food and excellent value. The lighting was also soft and warm.

Food was good but it was so cold in the restaurant it was hard to enjoy the experience.

Food is delicious everytime. Staff are always welcoming. I love this place

Had a good experience for brunch. Rosti (hash brown) was the highlight of our brunch. The chorizo in the omelette was a bit sweet and too much.

EDIT: Although initially disappointed, I must commend the restaurants management for their swift and effective response after our challenging experience. Our initial visit fell below expectations with the service and food. However, Im pleased to share that the manager promptly addressed our concerns and took significant steps to rectify the situation. I appreciate their responsiveness and hope that this incident serves as a learning opportunity for continuous improvement.

We had a great dinner at Fable Kitchen. The food was amazing and the server was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to try more menu options! Thanks for the amazing dinner!

Relax place, always busy, nice ambiance. Their Johnny cakes are fantastic! Food

Nice location. Staff were friendly enough, but we were pretty disappointed we couldn t order anything other than the Valentine s Day menu (which was way overpriced $75 per person). Wish they had more flexibility on that. And the food was mediocre too, I feel like they could have been amazing if they had better variety. Should have been mentioned when I made reservation that it wasn t the regular menu that night. Nothing on their website either. Too bad my wife and I will never get to enjoy the good food here.

Pretty disappointed with this places set Valentine s Day menu. $75 per person for mediocre food. Wish there was more variety & flexibility there. This should have been mentioned when we made reservations. Even saw other couples leave this restaurant once they discovered it was a set Valentine s Day menu.

The atmosphere of Fable Kitchen is warm and welcoming, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to our expectations. While some dishes were executed well, others were lackluster and under-seasoned. The portions were on the smaller side and the prices were quite high for what was served. Service was attentive and friendly, but overall the dining experience left us feeling unimpressed. Fable Kitchen may have potential, but we were disappointed with the execution

people are talking so bad about the valentines day menu but idk whats wrong with them lol. the menu WAS very limited, but everything that came out was great. I have no idea what they put in the sauce for those scallops but it was amazing- if the scallops arent on the regular menu already they definitely should be. the cocktails were also amazing, and one of the first places Ive seen in the area that actually puts a good amount of alcohol in them for the price. their last word riff was fantastic, and thesservice was great. I definitely recommend!

Overall taste good. However, the kitchen messed up the order so we had to wait for almost an hour for the food lol. Would recommend the dessert, both options are great.

Damn, how have i not been here before. Went for brunch and did the option for 27.50 which was great value. The scone was albeit small but extremely tasty. With with the pulled pork and tomato jam and initially was not impressed when it arrived at table but was extremely tasty. The French toast was best Ive ever had. Will go back and have recommend this spot to anyone who will listen to me. The fact you can reserve a seat in advance is a game changer

My burger wad soooo good. The kids breakfast was a great potion and great price.

Brunch time on a Saturday is really busy in Kitsilano so it was good that we made a reservation in advance. Food was good, I loved my dish which was one of the daily features, dont remember the name but it had hash potatoes with mushroom, chorizo sausage, Swiss cheese, 2 poached eggs and bread. Prices go with the market. Service left behind my expectations, the server was not taking notes of the orders and like we were imagining she forgot some items. Not a bad experience but for sure not a remarkable one.

Has the ambience of a diner and a popular restaurant. That s pretty unique. Loved watching the live kitchen do their thing while eating my breakfast. They were kind enough to cater substitutes for my dairy allergy. Streak bacon was delish, highly recommend it with your eggs. As someone who never ate yolks (raw or runny) and always loved it mixed in (scrambled/cooked in/over hard), I have no remorse for all you patrons who enjoy Bennies. They did however look extremely appetizing.

Overall great spot on 4th Ave for a nice dinner. Well deserved Bib Gourmand by Michelin! The Carrot tar tar is absolutely heavenly. Would go back just for that dish.

Very cozy Taste was good Our host was very polite and supportive Coffee was cold for me although I had it in the to-go cup. And the lattes taste wasnt perfect.

It was okay. I would recommend the Fable Diner on Main/Broadway instead. They have a much more extensive food and drink menu and mod/add-in options which made this place a bit of a disappointment

Booked a date night Sat 830 pm online. Said we had the tasting menu for 2 × $65 = $130. We were excited to try this restaurant as it was a bib gourmand. Our server who was attentive and friendly said we could order a la carte bur we figure might as well try tasting menu. My husband ordered a cocktail and had wine pairing and I ordered a glass of wine. Wines came with starter salad and croquettes and cocktail after. The mains were ling cod w chorizo jam ... fish done well but the jam tasted like BBQ sauce and overwhelmed the dish. The duck confit was also done well but both mains were tiny. The desserts were large in comparison. I guess it makes up for not having enough main course. So Im not sure if we were last sitting and were tad rushed...no time for cocktail and the courses quite close together. I do think the portions were small even for fine dining which this place wasnt advertised as such. Weve had tasting menus at Hawksworth and Araxis and Bearfoot Bistro with similar price points with much larger portions. We did like our server and the decor though.

Food here was pretty delicious for the most part, I really liked the beet tartare and the gnocchi with pork belly. My boyfriend ordered the medium rare duck and it had an interesting flavor. Drinks were pretty good too, we ordered a st.patricks day sour with charcoal which was really tasty. Also our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, really great service here! This restaurant is a bit on the expensive side though

This is a go to date night spot for years. Must see and sets a high bare for up scale casual dining.

Excellent place, spectacular food. The octopus salad and the gnocchi are the best.

Not worth the money

The only good thing that my table had was the duck meatball *probably could have had one or two more balls but it was good. Mains we got the salmon, pork chop, and gnocchi. The pork chop was too hard tbh, gnocchi too chewy, and the salmon was actually good. Probably won t be coming again also food took 40+ minutes to come after our appetizer. So be prepared to wait. (On a monday night.)

Really impressed both by the quality of the food and the impeccable service. All our meals were delicious and our waiter was super attentive and friendly! The restaurant is a little bit expensive, but considering the quality of the cooking, I think the prices are really reasonable. Well worth it for a special occasion and an amazing culinary experience.

Might be my favourite restaurant Ive been to in Vancouver. One of the best deserts Ive ever had. Service was excellent as well.

The loaded french toast on the challah bread with mascarpone, apple jam, and poached cinnamon apples is HEAVEN. One of my absolute favourite spots in Vancouver for an amazing brunch.

Avoid at all costs - I got a bad case of food poisoning from this restaurant . My partner and I planned a special dinner at this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. We had the chef s tasting menu. The chickpea bites were good, however, the remainder of the food was mediocre at best. In particular, the duck was too chewy and the burrata in our salad tasted off. As soon as I got home, I got violently sick and had to take three days off from work. Would not recommend.

Great food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere.

TLDR: Their menu before was better. Super healthy dishes but lacks a bit of mm goodness. Risotto - The dish looked plain and simple, the taste profile was similar. Wished there was another thing that gives a bit more depth in flavour as the most prominent flavour was the barley. Something seems to be missing in this dish. Pork chop and Duck - Both had very similar sauces. Porkchop was tasty but I wish the kimchi was spicy, really interesting concept though with the italian style kimchi. Duck was smaller in portion compared to the last time and was not the most tender, perhaps due to the way they were cooked this time around. The adornments of the dish did not really complement the meat very well, maybe a little too ambitious with the ingredient Our last visit here blew our minds away with the duck and gnocchi (which was sadly sold out by 7pm on a Wednesday). I hope they can adjust the menu soon so we can go back for those bursts of flavour!!

Super fresh and locally sourced ingredients. really enjoyable nighttime ambiance for a casual but more refined dining experience regarding the menu. don t come if you re pretty hungry though, the portions aren t huge

Fantastic place to eat. Had the bacon cheeseburger and it was A+. Probably top 2 best burger in Kits!

Cool little brunch/ lunch spot, great vibes. Service was good prices are reasonable and the food was delicious. Had the chorizo and a mimosa, highly recommend. Will be back before our trip is over

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Vancouver. I ve been twice and the food has always been top notch from the appetizers to the entrées and the service matches. Be prepared that they don t carry regular pop so you ll need to take your pick of some of the in house creations. Each one I ve tried has been amazing and well worth the price. Speaking of the price it certainly isn t a cheap restaurant but if anyone can find a place with better food at the price I d be shocked, the food is better than places I ve paid twice as much or more on a plate. They also rotate in specials to keep things interesting last time I was in I think they had rabbit so if you re feeling adventurous they have you covered.

Chefs meal for 2 was great value and tons of flavour

Excellent!!

Best Resteraunt I have been to under $100 ever. This Resteraunt got the Bib Gourmand award, which is like a Michelin star for more inexpensive Resteraunts, the Resteraunt certainly deserves it. I got the fudge french toast for Brunch and it was the best french toast I have ever tasted. It has fudge below the toast on the plate, as well as chocolate and butter on top. I also got a soda with strawberry and lime juice, as well as cream soda. Service was fast and friendly. Overall totally recommend! Kid-friendliness: Not many kids, but kid friendly

Service leaves a lot to be desired, server didnt seem to have any interest in being there

Maybe I expected too much, but our dishes were just really average brunch fare, actually really bland. Nothing was better than ok. Neither of us talked about the food even once while eating it or afterwards, and I think that speaks volumes. And no S&P on the table? Not a pat of butter on the pancake? The pricing is ok so I didnt feel negative, but its unlikely Id go back there for brunch. Maybe dinner one day.

Lovely staff buy unfortunately the breakfast was really bad. We could have just ordered wrong (both had reg breakfast one with pancake) 1 tiny piece of toast with flavourless breakfast potatoes that tasted worse then the frozen ones you get at the grocery. If it was a roadside diner I would say I got what I asked for, would expect something better from Fable.

Try the house-made mocktails! Best Ive had - No-groni was complex, aromatic, and refreshing. The pineapple-gin-spritz was flavorful, not sweet, with a peppery finish. The Butchers cut was already beautifully seasoned with herbs that really enhanced the flavor, but then the pepper jam ginger reduction was absolutely to die for - rich, sticky flavor explosions with every mouthful. The bok choy greens and miso potatoes were the perfect accompaniment. Both desserts were wonderful - rhubarb with strawberry curd in blueberry-balsamic ice cream melded amazing flavors together under a toasted meringue top, while the bittersweet chocolate orange with graham cake was a satisfying and rich blend without being heavy or too sweet.

Great lunch and amazing service. I will definitely come back

This is the best food Ive ever eaten. Ever. Unbelievable flavour, such unique dishes, amazing staff. I need more of this in my life. Ricotta Gnudi was incredible, and every appetizer was mouth watering. All 4 of us were in disbelief. Definitely coming back here with every person that visits us!

I remember having a good time when I visited before, so after seeing a long line-up at Jam Cafe, we decided to come here for lunch. I had a corn pancake with pulled pork and tomato jam, while my partner had the chefs special of the day. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was okay nothing to complain or praise about. However, I found the food menu a bit limited, with only vegetarian options or dishes with pork such as pork belly, pulled pork, or bacon. As for the pancake, it might be just me, but Im sorry to say that the combination didnt work for me. I hate leaving food unfinished, so I tried my best, but I had to leave some. It was the first time Ive done that. I also tried my partners dish; the potatoes were plain, and the main dish was okay. Overall, unfortunately, it wasnt a satisfying experience. Perhaps their dinner menu is better, but we will probably not return for brunch or lunch.

Great menu selection in very good quality. Excellent service. However, very cold room temperature. To enjoy the food, you should come in winter clothes or eat quickly before the food gets cold.

Love this place for brunch

Awesome brunch spot.

The Prohibition Brunch is a classic! Never had a bad time here.

A nice evening- and the food was good- but they had a few basic missing moments- no mint to make a mojito- no mint??? It s the most aggressive herb- mint is everywhere- in gardens-typically invasive and a kitchen staple I would imagine .And the chairs .uncomfortable . But the service was excellent - the food very farm to table good and they did not rush us out- other than I couldn t help but think that the hard wooden chairs kind of served that purpose!

We ate twice at this restaurant. Excellent service, the food is excellent and the menu changes regularly. Cocktail at the top and pet friendly on the terrace. See you soon !

Vegetarian options: Many good vegetarian and vegan options! Food

The brunch was so-so. Eggs Benedict with pork were very salty.

Best French toast in Vancouver

Unique quality drinks, nice atmosphere and solid munch. Great location and the tables are not too crowded together. I ve been 3 times.

Great food and wonderful service! The service is gold. The cocktail and gnocchi with pork belly are must have! Lots veggie options. Highly recommended!!!

Everything was delicious. I cant remember the last time I enjoyed a meal this much.

Awesome food and very friendly staff

Deep fried potatoes and dry old sourdough for breakfast, at a critically acclaimed restaurant. Other dishes looked pretty interesting, but we were in a hurry and opted for the basic breakfast. Wouldn t have cared, if the place wasnt upscale and priced accordingly. Food

I always pass by this restaurant. Finally a friend asked to have brunch here today, so here I am. My friend reserved a table online which was very convenient and I always like to reserve tables online without waiting in a super long line up for an hour or so. The server provided great service. The ambience was great for family or friends gathering. The venue has a decent size. It is considered comfortable that there is a reasonable distance between tables and customers, so we could chat without hearing what others were talking next to us. Their menu had different options for customers to choose from. We ordered a few dishes. I felt each dish was presented well. But the flavour was okay. It was just a normal dish of western breakfast to me. I wouldn t say I would wow for it. The location is right on a busy street that customers can come here to eat and walk around the neighbourhood after the meal. It s hard to find parking though. It s better for ones who take public transit or who live in the neighbourhood. Parking: Paid street parking or find parking in the neighbourhood but most of them need parking permit on streets, so people who don t live in this neighbourhood would be harder to find parking or they have to park far away and walk to their destination. Sometimes there are two hour parking on street if we are lucky to get one.

Great experience. The buser was a little bit passive aggressive, and when I asked for more coffee he made a comment and a face... but our server was very nice. Food was great.

My new favourite restaurant! We ve been coming here for brunch (the Johnny cakes are amazing, corn pancakes with pulled pork) and decided to check them out for dinner and they did not disappoint! Excellent food, great service, and really nice atmosphere. We had the chorizo mozzarella salad, gnocchi with pork belly, 6 oz flank steak, and chocolate orange dessert. Special shout out to our server Eugene who was awesome!!

Amazing brunch. A must try. Make sure to be here early. Always a line up.

What a disappointing meal. We ordered the mozza salad, potatoes, cabbage, and steak. The salad was just bizarre - it was as if someone decided to put chili on a salad. All the components tasted ok on their own, but together they just made no sense. I honestly wondered whether the chef was playing some sort of weird prank on the diners. The potatoes were dry and flavorless, and the steak was overcooked (we asked for medium rare but there was almost no pink). The cabbage was the only dish with much flavor. I don t usually leave negative reviews, but this was just such a massive disappointment, I m left feeling more confused than anything else.

Food was Fabulous! The taste of the Maitake and the sauce of the steak has flavors reminiscent of Asian cuisine.

Ive heard nothing but good things about this place, but my experience left a lot to be desired. My order was messed up, causing me to not get my food until my friends were nearly done eating. The error was never addressed or apologized for. The meal itself was underwhelming, unseasoned, wet, and full of woody, hard to eat greens. The drinks were weird - not sure what kind of juice they are using in the mimosas but it wasnt to my taste. Positives are that the space is lovely, as was our server. Yes my order was messed up, but I think it was an honest mistake (Ive been known to mumble lol). It happens, no biggie. My friends enjoyed their food. I think I just had a dud experience.

The menu was eclectic. However, the cooking was superb. We both had duck. The duck was excellent, It was cooked superbly with a devine jus. We had a wine issue, which was dealt with in a first-class way. Thank you for a great meal

Its been a while since I enjoyed the food this much. Thank you!

Both times I ve visited this restaurant, every staff we ve encountered have been so lovely! Very attentive and kind. Great food and vibe! Vegetarian options: The vegan kits bowl for brunch is sooo good!!

Nice bruch menu. Service was excellent. Vibrant area of town for a stroll.

Took my daughter out for lunch on a Friday, service was excellent and our server knew the menu well. We opted for brunch, ordering their daily Eggs Benny and a Farmer s Breakfast. Both were really good and the secret spice in the Benny sauce added extra spice, richness and flavourful. Great to have a great cup of bottomless coffee, a nice touch in these days of more with less. Only one thing would be nice to have salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce etc left on the table as we had to ask for each item. Perhaps when they bring out your order they could just bring a basket with the condiments? Parking in the area if driving is a pain and expensive (we paid $8 at a private lot), and recommend walking or busing to this area.

We went for lunch. It was good but the portions quite small and the price quite expensive.

Great place with consistently good food.

The atmosphere and service was excellent and the staff was very helpful in answering our menu questions, but Ive found the quality of food as well as presentation has declined a bit unfortunately.

The most disappointing meal and dinning experience I ve had in Vancouver. Restaurant is extremely noisy. Possibly nice for an intimate dinner if you dinning companion has excellent hearing. Not the kind of place to have a group conversation. A few gluten free options. No vegetarian or vegan entrees. Food just wasn t delicious.

Very disappointing. Pros: Friendly, attentive staff Cons: They were out of the mock-alcohol we wanted so had to switch our cocktail. Then they were out of the mains we wanted. They brought our salad but then we waited, and waited, for our mains, only to be told theyd given them away or some such mixup, and would have to remake everything. When food finalllllyyyy did arrive, wed lost out appetites. The cod was awful - overcooked and incredibly dry. For this category of restaurant, Id expect to sit on a padded chair but theyre wooden and very uncomfortable for a longer period. Cant believe its Michelin-rated. We wont be back, even if they did comp our mocktail order.

Wonderful breakfast, great ambiance.

Great evening food was excellent service was excellent totally enjoyed my eating experience

Yummy brunch. And coffee is also good. Omelette is amazing

Good food and service

Overall great food. After hearing this restaurant has been awarded Michelin Bib G. Tried brunch and dinner.

This was our second casual dining experience here. First time we enjoyed burgers for lunch and this time eggs benedict for brunch. Expertly poached eggs topped with olive oil hollandaise sauce. Healthy ingredients, sensible portions. Friendly knowledgeable service, reasonable prices. Clean and calm atmosphere.

Unexpected experience from Michelin restaurant. There was no wow factor on food. We got some felafel for the order of chickpea fritters and Brussel sprouts was mushy and not even crispy. I appreciated our servers informative service, but I felt a bit uncomfortable with the proximity when they were speaking to us. It would be great if they could maintain a more comfortable distance in the future.

That was not nice. Website says it opens at 9am and when we got there a very rude employee told us they had changed their hours. If he was an unhappy employee we were an even unhappier group of customers. Can t recommend a place with such bad customer service

Great place to have a nice dinner. The food was good, and the service was exceptional. Highly recommended for the shared menu.

Great menu, not your everyday diner. Service was perfect. Nice people and always made sure everything was okay at out table without being to present. The interior looks very nice and great music in the background. Would definitely come here again and recommend to friends!

Wonderful farm to table resto. Apparently has been pinged by the Michelin guide. The sable fish was melt in your mouth soft. Loved the seared pork belly over gnocchi. Would gladly take visitors here, great place.

It s hard to get a table for a brunch, but it s totally worth to hassle. They have an amazing service and really cute atmosphere. We had their daily special Bennie s with roasted bell pepper sauce and it was really good. My recommendation try their roasty with sour cream - it s so good

Food was good, but it took a very very long time to come out. Also some of the portions were kind of ridiculous given the price. The carrot side dish is 1 carrot quartered for 20 dollars!! Food

Very good experience, would definately go again.

Great service and delicious food. We had the duck breast, sablefish, and gnocchi. Portions are small but food tastes great. Was not a fan of the patata bravas appetizer but the bread and jam appetizer was great

The problem starts with the fact that I couldnt remember what I ate, although I visited this restaurant only a few days ago. I had to google the menu to refresh my memory a bit The food was surprisingly (given the Michelin guide recognition) unremarkable. Some dishes were oversalted, unbalanced, and overwhelming (like duck meatballs), and some didnt have salt at all and were absolutely plain and boring (like maitake and rutabaga). The idea to put a steak on a base of canned black bean garlic paste was questionable at least (not adding any aromatics to the paste). The wine was not good either (Carmenere, 2020.) Overall a disappointing experience.

Great food and great service. Pork belly is to die for.

Fable is lovely! Been here twice recently, once for brunch and once for dinner. Great menu, lots of ve/v options. Brunch I had the French toast which was amazing, maybe the best I ve ever had -not too sweet and so fresh. My partner had the eggs Benny which I had a bite of and thought it was very flavourful, only note is I personally didn t like that the ricotta was cold (im weird about temp) but my partner loved it. For dinner we had the chickpea fritters and the bread and butter which were both SO good. The carrots were amazing too, quite garlicky which I love. The gnocchi was also excellent, beautifully presented and tasty, definitely a peppery flavour as well (tiiiny bit much for me but I m sensitive to pepper; my partner loved it). The only reason this place isn t 5 stars is the patatas bravas. They were recommended by our waiter, and they were honestly inedible. I had one potato, and it tasted like I was eating an ashtray it was so smoky (not that I ve ever done that of course). My partner also could not eat them. Since everything else was so good, I can t help but wonder if it was a kitchen error or if something happened to them. \_( )_/ beware! For both meals our waiters were very personable and attentive, great service. The place is cute with exposed brick, music is not too loud and they ve got nice lighting. Overall would definitely recommend!

Benny was decent, french toast and pancakes were great. Good lattes and service! Not much of a wait near end of lunch/brunch time Would definitely come back to try more Dietary restrictions: Good accommodations for food allergies.

Got their pork belly breakfast sandwich. SO GOOD.

Definitely stop here for brunch! We had amazing service and the atmosphere was lovely. You must try the french toast, it was the best I ve ever had!

We visited this restaurant on a classic Vancouver downpour evening. This was the perfect homestyle haven to hide from the rain, unfussy west coast infused dishes with a little bit of thoughtfulness to keep you curious. Service was nice, setting was cozy.

Nice busy restaurant. Food was alright, didnt feel anything Michelin.

WOW everything we ordered was phenomenal, the service was immaculate, and the interior / decor is lovely. Get the pork belly, duck, patatas bravas, and gnocchi for sure. Highly recommend, a true local gem.

Our server was super friendly and considerate. Love their atmosphere and Benedicts!! Will come back to visit again for sure!
