                                    If I could give more than 5 starts I would do it. This cozy restaurant was truly a revelation. We chose the tasting menu with the wine pairing and we were in for a treat with every single dish. We also took their homemade bread snd it did not disappoint. I highly recommend!!

                                    We really enjoyed the Tuesday evening at Fable Kitchen. Food (Kale Salad, Zucchini, Enoki Mushrooms and Trout) was fabulous. Service was very friendly and on the spot. Loved the restaurant and will surely recommend and come back

                                    Absolutely superb food, and cheerful friendly service. Also very noisy - we were shouting at each other in order to be heard at our table. Things got better after about 90 minutes as the restaurant began to clear out. Our server was great, but when our mains came out (pork chops for one, duck for the other two) we had to ask for appropriate sharp knives to cut meat. We weren’t expecting that in a highly-rated restaurant. I would recommend Fable highly for the outstanding food - but be ready for noise. We’d love to come back, if we were able to figure out a time when the restaurant was less packed.

                                    Pretty good experience for my first time but not perfect. I brought my mom here to surprise her because this is her fav restaurant and she raved about the pork belly dish. That’s why we ordered it and we also ordered pork belly on top of the gnocchi. The pork belly dish didn’t have that signature fat section on it that every other pork belly has. When we told the server, he said the chef renders it completely, which was confusing because the pork belly we had on our gnocchi had a very clear fat section. My mom was pretty upset because she was looking forward to that the most and she said it was not the same as she had it before. However, the cheesecake was really good and the drinks were great 😊 👌🏽

                                    What a terrific find on our first night in Vancouver after three days travel! Lots of good energy flowing throughout this oasis of warmth and comfort. Started with a fabulous non-alcoholic bourbon mock tail and took off with the heirloom tomato salad and fresh bread and butter. Our entrees, the tasty chicken cutlet topped with peaches, green olives and cherry tomatoes and the fresh halibut with Romesco sauce were satisfying and filling. We finished with the Basque Cheesecake dessert that had so many simple but delicious flavor variations of blueberry gel and strawberry sorbet that no matter what our bite consisted of, the cheesecake itself was always the star of the show. Service was energetic and always came with a smile at just the right time. Great food and atmosphere! Thank you Fable Kitchen!

                                    One of the loveliest meals I have ever had. Small cozy atmosphere, extremely lovely staff, and delicious food! Everything we had was amazing. We had the chickpea fritters beard/butter, and carrots, potatoes, steak and chicken. Loved each bit, plus the cheese cake was so good! Highly recommend!

                                    Food and service were exceptional, as always. The fruit sodas are lovely and refreshing.
