Got here just before 10am opening & glad not many people in line. However, with limited seating inside don't be fooled into thinking it doesn't get busy! By 1030am it was almost full house. Fable is known for its brand of - 'straight from the farm to the table' with what it offers from their menu. Fresh & wholesome indeed! We ordered the Benedicts with Oil Hollandaise & Pulled Pork Johnny Cakes - as well as a side poached egg & bacon. I had the Fish option with my Benedicts which comprised of halibut, cod & scallops. Don't forget to add the maple syrup to the bacon = yummy! I found my Benedicts to be average tasting - only because they were probably the healthiest I've ever had. I'm more of a savory sweet tooth pile the sugar on type! Lol! The Johnny cakes were amazing - of course I poured on a whole lot of maple syrup & it was an amazing dish! Overall the brunch was very satisfying & you don't feel uncomfortabley stuffed afterwards. Great atmosphere & attentive service. Will have to try Fable for dinner one night. read more

Great service and food. We had reservations for 630pm but had arrived really early. They were able to accommodate my friend and I earlier which was great. I had the smoked duck breast and my friend had the pasta special. Sorry but I can't remember the name of it. The duck breast was tender, juicy and delicious. It was seasoned with cocoa caraway. The pickled mustard was a bit different and I didn't think it went with the duck so I didn't use it. The service was efficient, friendly and very helpful as we asked for recommendations for food and wine. My friend hasn't been there before so when we went and had the food, she really liked it. read more

Just before entering the restaurant our group ran into "Christopher" from Gilmore Girls. The fact that the meal was the best part of the evening says a LOT ;) So does the fact that I was too happily distracted to take food pics! My favourite appy has been the charcuterie plate, but I did not see it on the menu this time. We had the octopus salad and 'canned tuna'. Unanimously, the octopus salad was adored. We decided to share: the duck, the salmon and the potato encrusted chicken. Next time I am sticking with the salmon and chicken. The duck was quite good but the other two were extraordinary. The accompaniments to the salmon blew our minds and it was cooked perfectly according to the 'fish expert' at the table. The chicken was like comfort food but upgraded. I had the 'Kiss from a Rose' cocktail and was mighty satisfied. Note: On our recent visit, we had planned on eating somewhere else that doesn't take reservations, and it ended up being closed. This was the 5th restaurant in the area we tried and we were exhausted and famished. The staff went to extra effort to get us in and it wasn't a long wait. We all will be bringing back other friends so they can try out this accommodating and delicious spot. read more

Fable Kitchen - Food so good I forgot to take pics of it! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

As a self-professed Top Chef fan (including the Canadian edition), I had to make a visit to Season 2 runner-up Trevor Bird's new restaurant- Fable. For those of you who watched the show, you'll know that Trevor came up with the name for the team's farm-to-table concept in the "Restaurant Wars" episode. After the show, he took the vision and evolved it into his very own restaurant in Vancouver. Trevor is joined by his fellow contestant Curtis Luk, who is well-remembered for delivering killer desserts on the show! Bread is not complimentary here but we were craving some, so we ordered a loaf of their house-baked rosemary focaccia ($4). The bread was delicious, but not really worth $4 in my opinion. First appetizer was a halibut "Brandade" ($10) with chilled tomato, basil. I liked the bright acidity of the tomatoes, but overall this was probably my least favourite appetizer of the night. On the other hand, I really enjoyed these chickpea fritters ($9), topped with pickled red onions, shoots and curry mayo. The spices in the fritters were yummy, especially when combined with the curry mayo. The toppings were bright and added a great textural contrast! We also ordered the daily special appetizer- salmon tartare ($12). This was another winner! The tartare was amazingly creamy and the flavours were really well-balanced. One small complaint- we could've used a couple more pieces of toasted baguette to accompany the tartare. Upon skimming the menu, we were immediately interested in the duck breast ($24), served medium rare atop a bed of scallion perogie, fiddle heads and cauliflower. Hands down, this was one of the best duck preparation I've ever had- sweet, savoury and spicy all at once! The duck was unbelievably tender and that seared, fatty crust was to die for! In comparison, our other choice of entrée- potato crusted chicken ($19)- was not as impressive. The potato crust was an interesting concept but the chicken wasn't as tender as I'd like it to be. For dessert, our server recommended their daily sweet bites ($10), which includes dulce de leche macarons, shortbread topped with chocolate and caramel, and a mini blackberry Pavlova. I couldn't decide which one was my favourite as they were all fabulous! The macaron was delectably creamy, the shortbread cookie was luxuriously rich, and the Pavlova was as light as air! I couldn't end the meal on a happier note! On the whole, I thought the meal was fantastic. Standouts include chickpea fritters, the duck breast (best I've ever had, no kidding!), and that awesome dessert plate! read more

I love the name Fable. From farm to table. Brilliant! We had called ahead of time for a table for 3 adults and 1 baby. When we got there, a high chair along with a child's menu was already set up along with the other 3 adult chairs. Service was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. The staff were friendly, courteous and most importantly, happy. The food was indeed fresh, inventive and delicious. Wild Mushroom Risotto - creamy, flavorful and cooked well. World's Best Canned Tuna - I wasn't impressed and for the price it isn't worth it. Presentation was nice though. Flat Iron Steak - the best flat iron steak I've had. Tender, well seasoned, succulent and a perfect medium rare. The drinks were on the small side. I ordered cocktails, but they looked only a little bigger than a shot glass with very little alcohol. Even with all these minor issues, I loved it here. read more

A business meeting suggested we have lunch here and I agreed. Our server was very patient with us - we were talking a lot and took a while to order. Adam ordered the eggs Benny special - ham I believe - and it looked yummy. I ordered something with muffin in the title 1 egg scrambled on and English muffin and a small sausage patty on the other half She was kind enough to tell us the jams on both muffins as well as the sausage were house made. The jam on the sausage side was really tasty, as was the sausage but very salty. the tomato jam on the egg was overly sweet for my liking. If I could have scraped it off I would have. Small potato pancake on plate was very tasty and the salad was fresh but dull. A splash of lemon may have brightened it a bit.not that I know how to cook. But I know what I like. read more

From the first moment to the last, Fable delivered an incredible experience not only because every dish bursted in flavour but the service was so engaging and fun by the wonderful European gentleman. I think it's a tempered French accent... not Quebecois cause he can actually enunciate words. Fable sits on 4th Avenue near Kitsilano Beach. The dining room itself is quite dim as it sits receded back into the space. The front section has their open kitchen with all it's glorious smells spilling into the streets. Though it is very dim, you can still make out the room which is whimsical with it's decor notes from a farm. The lighting fixtures are pickforks and the walls are exposed bricks with lots of warm golden woods everywhere. The rooster is found in different spots around the room in addition to standing proudly on their sign. I have to give thanks to Fable for not cramming in the tables to the point you're sitting on another person. It's a popular spot as we saw the room always at 90% capacity but I couldnt hear my neighbours conversation all the time. As I mentioned, the service here was just great. The gentleman was warm, personable with stories of the dishes, and just enthusiastic. He always had a way of making us laugh with his super dry delivery and then hit you with this infectious giggle at the end. You had to just smile back. On top of being just a great person to talk to... he had really wonderful ways to describe each dish. He clearly had a passion and favourites. We followed all his suggestions and we were rewarded with a phenomenal night. Crispy Chickpeas fritters - Dinner kicked off with these crunchy fritters that held a tender and almost fluffy interior. The curry mayo pops the flavour up with the spices while the pickled onion cuts through creamy curry with a bright bold sweet and acidic kick. I just loved this as a starter. 4.5/5 Octopus salad - This was their seasonal daily offering and I think they should keep this on the menu. The plating was pretty but hiding under the wreath of endive, you'd find the plumpest and crispy pork belly pieces with the perfectly charred tender octopus. How could they get both components so perfectly crispy charred with still keeping everything so supple and delicious to tear into it. On top of those 2 amazing things, they also had the added elements of potato rosti croutons. This is just really amazing crispy potato shreds in a cube form. Then they top it off with a delicious sauce of cauliflower honey mustard. You have smokey, meaty, a touch of sweetness, and a kick of spiced heat from the mustard. Just a great dish. I could have eaten more of this. 5/5 Charred Beets - Simple vegetables elevated ... I'm not sure how they made this so smokey but that added flavour element kept this from being a boring salad. The smokiness reminded me of the best smoked ribs in a BBQ. The heavier char taste was nicely contrasted by the tangy smooth goat cheese and the fresh herbal sauce. At the end, the natural sweetness of the beets come through. It's definitely one of the better beet preparations I've had. 5/5 Smoked Duck Breast with carrots done 4 ways - I think its cute but there's a smiley face on the plate for this duck breast. I think it's very happy it was cooked at Fable cause this was another great dish. This particular duck was done nicely to medium rare so it had that nice ruby shade inside. It was juicy and had a right gamey rich meat flavour that goes beyond your regular chicken. The accompaniment of carrots was so interesting. It was pureed (creamy and naturally sweet), roasted (tender with some good savour flavour from roasting... it almost tastes like chicken fat), pickled (bright and punchy from the vinegar), and raw shredded (for that nice crunch). On top of all this there was a sharp caraway mustard seed sauce that paired with it. Another great dish that I could happily eat again. 5/5 Rhubarb berries goat cheesecake - At this point I was ready to call it quits but the gentleman was kind enough to explain how delicious their desserts were. With the words of "rhubarb and fresh berries" uttered, I was sold. I like a light fresh tart and berry flavour so this was a perfect end. The creamy goat cheese cake was a nice base for the hazelnut praline. The praline so good with its sweet, crunchy, nutty, and a wonderful flavour of caramel. The cherries were added as a gelee which was a wonderfully concentrated pop of flavour as you had some of the tart rhubarb. Fresh blueberries were added just in case you didnt have enough fresh berry flavour already. 4.5/5 Fable has a lot of fans in Vancouver and it's completely deserving. It was the best restaurant I went to during my trip and a stand out with it's interesting use of local ingredients and possibly one of the better service experiences in a while. Definitely make reservations... you won't be sorry. read more

After eating the most amazing dinner we talked about coming back for breakfast! So here we are again! It is hard to describe everything we experienced when eating here other than to say that every unique bite is crafted to perfection and so thought out from ingredient to finish. Our server, Claude, made the dinner even more enjoyable with his quick service and great knowledge of the offerings. Whenever we visit Vancouver, we will come back. And that is a promise! read more

This is a great restaurant!! Love the open kitchen where you see chefs busy preparing the yummies in front of you! Came here on a Sun morning without reservation at 11am and waited 30 min to get a table for 3. We ordered the scramble egg, the french toast and pulled pork Johnny cake. I love the scramble egg which was served in a jar topped with parmesan foam. The eggs were done perfectly so you can still taste pieces of it but also a bit creamy, not mushy. The French Toast was made from rich brioche with seasonal preserve (I forgot what ours was but it was tasty). The Pulled Pork Johnny Cake was very special. There were two layers of fluffy pancake with pulled pork and spicy pickled jalapeño and drizzled maple syrup. The saltiness and sweetness all blended very well together with a hint of spice. Love it!! Food tasted very fresh and I love the fact that they are sourced locally!! read more

I came here not knowing what I was getting into, and I'll admit that this was the best stumble I have had the pleasure of stumbling on. We were biking through the seaside route as we slowly got more and more hungry. Doing a quick google search of restaurants in the area, we settled on Fable and parked our bikes about a block away. Despite being fully booked and during dinner time, we were able to grab two seats at the bar. When we were seated, the guy at bar asked if we had been there before and later given the run down on the menu. We had a friendly conversation on how we couldn't do drinks as we were biking. The salmon & broccolini was good, my partner said he really liked the veggies. However, we both agreed that it was the spaghetti & meatball that captured our hearts. Cutting into the duck meatball, we saw the juice come out onto the pasta. It was so delicious that I couldn't hold back my excitement when I was asked how my meal was. Long story short, I love this place now and I want to come back again to try the rest of their dishes. Great service and amazing food. read more

Where does one even begin to say how amazing this place was? I don't know how we were lucky enough to find this place but we have been visiting from Chicago for one week and nothing has compared to Fable! From the coziness of the restaurant, the amazing wait staff and the incredible food, there is nothing bad to be said about this place. We started with focaccia with a delicious tomato jalapeño butter, incredible chickpea fritters and the spaghetti duck meatball with parmesan foam and all were fantastic. We especially loved the curry mayonnaise sauce on the fritters. We then had oyster mushrooms, a pea gnocchi and the salmon, which they recommended to do medium rare. Everything was outstanding! We finished with the s'mores dessert and lemon meringue with London fog ice cream. Best meal ever! They change the menu seasonally so it would be fun to visit frequently and sample new items. They also have a great wine selection and use Coravin, and therefore have a large selection of wines by the glass. read more

Food poisoning. The omelette 'special' hit us both within 10 min of leaving the restaurant. Terrible discomfort. Called to let the manager to let them know (to minimize repeat for others) but the response was apathetic. Would not recommend. read more

Went to Fable for lunch on a Friday with my husband, it was around 12:30pm and literally there was not another single person in the place! I was surprised but it also meant we got the pick of seat and the full attention of the staff, which was really nice. I was soooo excited to see that they had a Croque Madam on the menu, one of my favorite warm, cheesy with egg sandwiches. It was amazing! I loved it! It had pickled onion, with two beautifully soft eggs on top and a bacon jam with ham inside. It had a Parmesan foam as well and I wasn't sure what that was going to be like, but it was amazing! A definite must try! I like the sweet and savoury breakfast sandwich, my husband not as much. But he still really enjoyed the taste and flavour combination. It was accompanied with a simple fricasee salad that was fresh and had a light oil and vinegar dressing. So happy we tried this place for lunch! Now we'll have to come back for dinner read more

The reason why I picked this place to try coz I saw Top chef Canada and know about Trevor Bird. I did view the menu online and find the food selections are limited and not attractive. My gal friend eats like a bird, therefore, we shared everything that we ordered: Duck Meat ball in Fettuccine - Creative starter!! The meat ball was tasty and tender but the fettuccine was bit blend.... Flat Iron Steak - Steak was cooked perfectly. Sable Fish - It was SO delicious and smooth. Opera Torte - Hazelnut and chocolate cake was good and espresso ice cream tasted excellent. I would say this is great place for casual dinner with such reasonable price. read more

This review is for Brunch, which I had the pleasure of enjoying there recently. A group of us attended and were served their group menu, which included the following: 1. Scrambled Eggs: The best I've ever eaten. When I think of scrambled eggs for breakfast or brunch, I think boring, buffet-style food that the restaurant is trying to pass off in an effort to include eggs on the menu at minimal effort. Boy, was I surprised at Fable. The eggs were creamy almost, with a delicate parmesan foam on top and served in cute little individual mason jars. I loved this concept for a group menu! Also on the plate was an arugula/spinach salad and a side of 'rosti', which is a fried potato cake topped with a dollop of chive cream. These were delicious and I could've easily had several of them. 2. French Toast: Normally, I'm not a fan of French toast, so I reluctantly accepted a piece on my plate, and actually left it until last to eat. I won't be doing this again! It was topped with a blueberry preserve-type topping and mascarpone cheese, which was a welcome addition and very different from anything I've had before. It wasn't too sweet, which is usually why I avoid French toast in the first place. 3. Eggs Benedict: We were served an assortment of bennys to choose from, and I split the halibut brandade and the spinach bennys with a friend. The hollandaise was made with olive oil, which I really enjoyed - and despite being in a large group, the eggs were all cooked to my liking with perfectly runny yolks. 4. House Toast: No comment on this, as I was too full to have a piece. The group menu for 18 people cost $17.75 for 18 people which included everything above as well as the tax & tip. It seemed a little pricey at first, but after eating everything, I have to say that I thought it was well worth the price we paid. You certainly won't get this quality and assortment for less anywhere else (that I'm aware of). I am looking forward to my next meal at Fable in the not-too-distant future. read more

Listen... Breakfast and brunch are pretty hard to mess up, so sometimes these places can be monotonous and blend together. NOT the case here. I found this place online prior to my trip to BC and made a reservation for the prohibition brunch on a Saturday morning. I'm SO glad that I did because I'm still thinking about this experience days later. I ordered the Pulled Pork Johnnycakes with a seasonal mimosa (cranberry lemon) and a coffee. Every one of those elements was fantastic on its own, but as a whole meal? Jeez. The Johnnycakes themselves came with the pulled pork, of course, along with jalapeños (I believe they were either pickled or candied?) and a tomato jam that I WILL be trying (unsuccessfully) to replicate at home, and I added a soft poached egg atop the stack as per my waiter's recommendation. What an absolutely perfect bite of food. So beautifully balanced in terms of flavor and texture - and hearty! I got a couple meals out of it. My mimosa was nice and boozy (how I like it) and fresh. The coffee was unmistakably diner coffee if you know what I mean, but even with that, it was super smooth and perfect on this cooler Saturday morning. To top it all off, my meal ended with a cute little chocolate chip cookie that was the perfect sweet treat. Service was outstanding. My waiter and I got to talking about the housemade hot sauces and she sent me home with a sample of each. (So good!) The staff overall just created such a nice atmosphere for me to enjoy a nice, slow Saturday morning. Definitely telling any friends of mine about this place as they plan trips here! Did I mention the price as well? $28 for all of that is really not bad, especially since I'm used to paying New York prices for everything. Great value on top of everything! read more

Finally tried out Fable for lunch with some out-of-town friends. On a weekday lunchtime, they weren't too busy and surprisingly very kid-friendly. Highchairs were clean, they had boosters available and I saw a waiter give the 2 toddlers on the table next to us some toys to play with. Nice. Our waiter played with the baby and was super friendly. Based on Yelp reviews, we tried the Chickpea Fritters and the Canned Tuna for appies. I'm normally not a fan of chickpeas but these were alright; however it really needed the sauce it came with or else it'll be a bit dry. The Canned Tuna was everyone's fave; raw tuna spread that was a bit sweet and citrus-y that complemented the tuna well. We had to mash it ourselves to mix the ingredients into a spread so make sure you mix it up good to get the right balance of flavors. For entrees, I had the Vegetarian Taglietelle ($12) with chorizo add-on (+$4). It came with a heavy dose of parmesan "foam" which was really too thick to be "foam". I was careful not to mix all of it into my pasta. My friend had the same dish and he mixed it all in before trying it out- he felt stuffed after a few bites because it was so heavy. The homemade chorizos had a bit of spice to it but not overwhelming which I liked. I liked the dish but like I mentioned above, mix in the foam according to your taste. Our other friend had the Grilled Cheese. I tried a bite, it was pretty good and better than other restaurant Grilled Cheeses I've had in the past. Overall, good service, above average food, would come back for the Canned Tuna alone. read more

I have to say the food here is really good. My favorite appetizer so far is the can tuna. Yes the name sound cheap but its not. Its basically albacore tuna with some extra work at my end for mushing and stabbing. You will know what I mean when you order it. But its so yummy on their cracker bread. Wish the bread cracker has less hole in it. Also got the chickpea fritters. Yummy. but I would say the tuna is definitely a 5 star and chickpea fritter, its about a 4. For the main course ordered the wild salmon and I was eye enlightened. It was really good. I love the mint and beet puree. So yummy. last but not least the desert the famous S'more. well the desert was ok. I would definitely come back again. read more

We just landed in Vancouver and looked up the best Canadian restaurant open and lunch and Fable came up. If this is what Canadian food is, I'm ready to move here! The duck meatballs and spaghetti with parmesan foam literally changed my life! It's so rich,but so darn good. I've never ever had a meatball that was so crispy on the outside, juicy and chewy on the inside. I can't stop thinking about it. The pasta was fresh and perfect as well. Fritters was light and flavorful. Great texture for chickpeas is really difficult and the chef nailed it here. Roasted beet salad had smoked cheese under it! What a great twist to the beet salad that's at so many restaurants now. Loved all the subtle flavors. Grilled cheese sandwich. They ran out of bacon that day so we put pulled pork in ours. While the pulled pork was awesome, it ended up making it a bit too sweet. The texture was perfect though and the potatoes were so perfectly cooked. It tasted like it was sous vide and fried. Great welcome to Canada meal. The Asian waitress was super sweet and the chef was so good looking! She said he won cooking competitions, so we picked perfectly. Thank you so much for an awesome meal! read more

Great food and wonderful service. Easy to get as well! Lovely diner feel to the place.

And it's got everything from vegan , vegetarian and blood eaters alike .. The dishes to start were the chickpea fritters..as for chickpeas and plant based eaters it's a happy marriage . They come as singles and I could have eaten that ×6 for a meal. And the roasted beets were so yummy . They had a pasta special for vegans which has pesto and pea shoots on the plate. Fantastic .I love my greens .give me a plate full of greens I'm super happy . My pescatarian loves ordered the salmon dish which also sounded amazing except the weird combination of chorizo in it(thought I should add that it shouldnt be on the same plate) could be missed if not paying attention. Not a surprise non-meat eaters would appreciate if eaten . All in all it has a little bit for everyone .the prices are a little bit high but I would definitely be back for a date! read more

Had dinner here 3 of the 4 nights I was visiting Kitsilano from Seattle. Occasionally I've found Yelp reviews to be overinflated when visiting other cities (looking at you, Portland) however Fable fully deserves the excellent reputation it's garnered. Food: Favorite entree was a tie between the gnocchi with a double add pork belly and duck breast (seriously, order both!), closely followed by the steak. The steak's crispy potato was understated however the two cheese aligot (aka cheesy whipped potatoes) which also comes with this entree was my overall favorite side, so it balanced out. Favorite appetizers were the duck meatball and tomato soup, beets were solid. The $3-4 appetizers were cute and flavorful. There is nothing I regret eating and all the price points are reflective of portion size. Overall I agree their pricing falls somewhere between $$(Yelp)-$$$(Google) but when you factor in the amazing quality relative to what you pay I agree with Yelp's classification of $$ for value. Sat at the kitchen bar and enjoyed watching the plating. I like that the open kitchen concept since it helped me optimize for what to try for subsequent visits. I have no regrets about eating the gnocchi twice and duck/steak once during this trip. However if I come back next things I would order are the sablefish (I overlooked seafood but one table ordered this for 3 of their 4 entrees so going to assume they know something I don't) and get the duck again, only mildly curious about the rissoto or salmon although both looked beautiful. Usually when I eat out, I straight up optimize for taste/value and am ambivalent to the dining experience but Fable delivered on that too, which I must begrudgingly admit won me over. The restaurant manager not only remembered me when I came back on the second evening, he remembered how I liked my water (I can barely get some places in Seattle to recognize me if I go in once every week, much less care about my preference for non-monetary items). Skipped a night eating there and when I came back, the hostess still remembered where I like to sit. Service throughout the meal was attentive without feeling intrusive, ambience/decor was very nice, I haven't worked in a restaurant before but this place generally seemed to have the dynamics of an engaged and high-functioning team (e.g. servers double-checking plated orders before delivering them to tables, everyone in the kitchen voicing their opinion on what keeps things running well on the back-end). There were also smaller interactions that made me feel like the staff genuinely cared whether I had a good experience (e.g. not blanket recommending the higher-priced or daily special when asked for their opinion between two entree options, I was explicitly reminded not to tip by % when my bill included a gift card). Hope I'll get to visit Vancouver again soon because this was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great food after a long day. read more

They were able to accommodate our party of 9 easily! Their brunch menu has very few options, but I was able to find something I knew I'd like. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and replaced the hash brown with a side of tomato basil soup. The soup wasn't the best...tasted very watery and def tasted like it came out of a can. The breakfast sandwich, however, was awesome. Thick cut bacon and egg on a large slice of sourdough bread. read more

I was first introduced to fabel at a fair during a cook presention. I liked the food so I have taken a few dates here. The staff is usually pretty nice, but I have had a server who didn't seem to care as much as we would have liked. Being a first date we wanted to get a couple drinks to lighten things up, but after our main order the server never really came back by. That all said, I have had some great service and experiences overall. Giving a 4 because of the sometimes long walk and the bad experience. read more

This place was really above average. The food was tasty, service was great, and ambiance was cozy, but the portion size was puny. My husband got the Spaghetti and Meatballs. This was absolutely delicious but I wish the portion size was bigger. For $11, you get a small bowl of pasta with white sauce and one pretty dinky meatball. The duck meatball was so good. I don't usually like eating duck but my goodness, I don't know how you make duck taste that freaking good. When they said that the dish came with one meatball, I had expected a meatball a little smaller than my fist. Nope... I'd say it is probably a little bigger than the circumference of a Canadian two dollar coin. He also ordered the duck parfait. I'm not usually a fan of duck liver so I didn't try any. I ordered the chicken with risotto. The chicken was very tender but I didn't really like the sauce that went with the risotto. It wasn't the best that I've had. I really enjoyed eating the tiny carrots. For some reason, they were so tasty. Our total bill was about $52. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and helpful in giving us tips on what to order. They make very yummy food here but set your expectations of the portion size to small. read more

Here's what you need to know: - You can only book online for 5:30pm Monday to Thursday on OpenTable, I suggest calling in or arriving early. - You'll be presented with a fresh sheet. It's pretty. Use it. The decor is fun, whimsical. It's a small space, so it's a tight squeeze to fit all the anxious foodies in there. One table knocked over several wine glasses on a neighbouring table whilst donning his coat before leaving. There will be lots of side-stepping to avoid bumping into things, take heed. The flavours are very subtle. The emphasis is on the fresh ingredients - and they DO taste fresh. If you're looking for bold flavours, you won't find them here (at least I didn't) but I appreciated the simplicity of the preparation and the focus on natural ingredients and presentation. read more

Food: 5.0 of 5.0 Service: 5.0 of 5.0 Environment: 5.0 of 5.0 This place is phenomenal!!! From the decor, to the service down to the food, everything here is spectacular :) Before we jump into the food review, I want to preface this by describing how hungry we were. We hadn't eaten anything for 20 hours! We ordered the Kimchi Fried Chicken and the Rutabaga Tagliatelle, ooomph! Both were wonderfully delicous, fresh, and a perfect portion size. The combination of ingredients compliment each other very well. We left feeling satiated and satisfied! The warm friendly service along with the romantic farm to table themed interior makes for a great date spot but is casual/professional enough to hold business oriented gatherings. Keep up the delicious food and spot on service! read more

This place never fails to deliver. Our supper meal was delicious as always. It was a fantastic Christmas meal - a present from my son. We dined on Gnocchi - roasted squash, squash puree, pumpkin seeds; Smoked duck breast with walnut, raisins, mustard seed; Grilled flat iron beef steak with black pepper jam & wild mushroom (the sauce was to die for); and Pan seared Salmon. Roasted Brussels sprouts for our vegetable side dish including Lemon meringue parfait & Smores brownie for dessert. The evening started out with a delicious appetizer of Chick pea fritters. Service was great! read more

Oh. My. Goodness. So after reading raving reviews of a few other Vancity gems and then being not so impressed I came into Fable not expecting much but ommerrrrrgahd!!! The food blew us away! I just wanted to sit there and order more, more, more!!! Fable is a beautiful representation of FArm to taBLE dining. You walk in and immediately see and feel the heat from the open kitchen at the front entrance to get to the main dining area which is rustic yet elegant. We had to save room for another restaurant later that evening and so we ordered two starters and an entree to share. Bad idea. Wish we didn't do that so I could try more things :( Chickpea fritters: think perfect falafel but with a sweet pickled onion to brake through the fattiness, topped with dressed greens for a bit of freshness and then curry mayo to bring it all together! Love. Steak tartare: super tasty with a nice punch to it. I (not boyfriend) was a fan of the rice crackers to pick up the meat versus the classic slab of bread. You really get all the flavors from the steak since the cracker is so light! Smoked duck breast: I never was a huge fan of duck until this dish. Omg you close your eyes and take a little bite of everything together and it's literally a symphony of flavors all going off at once. Melt in your mouth duck breast, with bomb af mustard seed, pickled carrots, and cornbread crouton?!! What?! Amazing! And after we got our entree I needed more!!!! But I'll have to wait until we visit next time :( my favorite meal in Vancouver so far! read more

Oh Fable you are Fab! First timer today in this wonderful restaurant. My friend and I sat at the bar which was awesome; we got to see the kitchen in action. All the food looked and smelled delicious from what were were seeing in front of us. I ordered the Fable Muffin - sausage, cheese, scrambled egg, tomato and black pepper jam. To die for! My friend got the other most popular brunch item - the scrambled eggs with Parmesan foam! It looked absolutely divine and she confirmed it was. The kitchen staff are so damn calm, don't know how they do it! Such professionals. The serving staff was also a delight to chat with. You can tell they too love the products they serve and sell. If you're a local or visiting Vancity, this is a must visit! read more

My husband said it was the best burger he's ever had. Johnny cakes kind of surprised me. Thought they'd be savory, not sweet. But good.

Delicious food, wonderful service, and a great outdoors patio. Highly recommend the BLT, Pub Burger, and the cafeteria style poutine. They also carry a delicious homemade ginger beer. read more

FArm to taBLE ... I totally get it and I freaking love this concept! Everything about this place was amazing. The service, the ambiance and the food!!!!! Let's get started, shall we? Drink: The Caesar! A Canadian version of a Bloody Mary, Vodka as the poison. The tomato was more like a cleaner Clamato with a pickled green bean, green olive, lemon pepper rim and lime garnish! The perfect hangover cure. So light, refreshing with the perfect amount of spice. Highly recommend! 1st course: -The "canned" tuna: a canned tuna twist that is indescribable, served with toasted, buttered baguette. -A chickpea fritter with some really delicious sauce and micro greens. -Asparagus salad served with ricotta cheese, mixed greens, nuts and a poached egg. (Amazing) Everything was super delicious! Very fresh and presentation was artsy. There was a point where I was lost for words like the rest of my fellow American brunchers and I'm still in a lost for words now. 2nd course: -Steak sandwich served with a potato brioche and a sour cream, chive sauce with mixed greens. Steak was cooked medium rare, that melts in your mouth, melted cheese and a sunny side up egg on top of a very crusty bread. So many textures and flavors; it was a ridiculous, delicious concoction. The potato brioche was this thick, not too oily hash brown... O M G! So F'n G O O D!!! Dessert wasn't a highlight but their lemon meringue was very light and not too sweet. If ever in the Vancouver area and need a very good brunch place, hands down to Fable! You guys killed it! read more

This was our first stop on our day trip in Vancouver. I have to admit, parking was kind of hard to find so try and get there early if you can. The restaurant itself was smaller than I expected but it was still very accommodating. The food tasted great. I got to try out their fish Benedict right before they ran out! And I highly recommend it. read more
