fable kitchen

wonderfulplacecuz the dishes are really special and are different style as other restaurants. i love the lemon parfait very much and the beef of the main course tastes great. the waiter is very friendly.

fable is for real!. only a couple of weeks into a soft launch and thisplacereally has its act together already, especially in the kitchen. every dish stood on its own, heaps of flavour and originality. highlight probably the duck meatball tagliatelle. great to see a new creative force emerge in kits and would give anyone in gastown a run for their money too. prediction - it could be hard to get a table here in about a month, so go now!

fabulous fable kitchen!. best-food-ever! thisplaceis hard to get a seat but we came right at 5pm and got seated right away. service was friendly, atmosphere casual and menu was short...but everything on it is amazing! we got three appetizers...kept ordering more as each one was so good and we couldn't decide...chickpea fritters with curry mayo, smoked salmon on cornbread pancake and the house-made cornbread with miso butter...freshest food i have ever tasted...the flavours were incredible....mmmmm! for dinner i decided to be bold and try duck for the first time in my life...it was served smoked, with applesauce and rhubarb, presented on top of quinoa laden with hazelnuts and dried fruit...it was the most delectable thing i have ever tasted! my mouth exploded with all the fresh flavours and textures. my husband got the butcher's cut steak served with house fries and black pepper jam...he loved it and would not share with me, it was so good! the only bad thing is we were so full by the end of this delicious meal that we had no room for their mouth-watering dessert list. we will definitely be back to try that next time. can't wait!!

i have heard so many good things about thisplaceand every word is true!!!!! our waitress recommended me the scrambled eggs and it is awesome!!!!! my friend had the french toast and he also said it was one of the better french toasts in the city.  the service was spectacular, the portions was perfect. i have a tendency to over eat to the point it makes me sick, but because they portioned i am left perfectly satisfied and at the same time i won't feel like my belly is about to explode :)

i was wandering why i was having difficulties describing how i felt about thisplaceand then i realized that i simply didnt have a lot of feelings for it. i visited 3 or 4 times and every time i felt the same. the food was good, a little flat on taste and flavor, but still good. for some reason i didnt feel that i would want to come back for it soon. the service was friendly but friendly is probably the only word i can find to describe it.

one thing i noticed on my every visit was that communication between the floor and the kitchen staff was a bit indescreet and loud. we had to listen to them throwing personal remarks at each other which, i thought, was somewhat disrespectful to the people they are serving.

every time i try a different wine but never had an urge to find out more about it to, may be, pick up a bottle later at a local wine store. good sommelier cares about quality of a glass his selection is served in... these glasses are definitely not the finest.

theplacewas not disappointing but i never heard from my party "let's do fable kitchen again!"

a decentplacefor brunch - farm to table restaurant.

they have a small selection of brunch menu, which is executed very well.

the farmer’s muffin (scrambled eggs, sausage patty, bacon jam in between an english muffin) was delicious.

the service was excellent. fable's crew are attentive and welcoming.

we will definitely come back!

i don’t typically take time to write reviews, so hopefully that will only help prove how awesome thisplaceis. i came here for the first time for my boyfriend’s birthday. we had heard great things but were simply blown away. the food was complex, original and simply divine. we shared the house special appetizer of burrata with potato croquettes which we couldn’t get enough of. for mains, we got the smoked duck breast and the scallops & pork belly. we also for a serving of cornbread on the side to share. everything was to die for. but what made that even better? we had incredible service. our waitress was kind, engaging, thoughtful and so sweet. she treated us impeccably and always ensured we had everything we needed.

this was the best meal i've had in a long time! so. damn. good. it was also very enjoyable to sit at the bar and watch your food being prepared right in front of you. i'm tend it skip on dessert normally but because it was my birthday i split the s'more with my boyfriend and it was incredible! thisplaceis lovely for a nice treat yourself occasion, not too pricey considering the high quality food and service.

a nice littleplacewith a respectable premise, that everything is either made in house or sourced locally (although the interior decor is a bit questionable... what is with the tacky lightboxes?). 

my partner and i tried the salmon and the butcher's cut of the day, which was beef stilettos. i was quite satisfied with the beef, which was tender and well-flavored in a unique pepper sauce, and came on a bed of bok choy salad and roasted gai lan. it didn't blow me away, but was satisfying. my partner, on the other hand, did not enjoy her salmon that much. while fresh and free of fishy odor, the salmon was raw on the inside, and not something she is a fan of. she also claimed that the potatoes were not on par with ones from les faux bourgeois, and that her dish would have benefited from more vegetables. we also ordered their homemade sourdough to start with, which was incredible, and absolutely floored my partner, who claimed it was the best in town.

visited for sunday brunch, even though theplacewas busy, the service was efficient and the food came really quickly.
mushroom polenta: really, really salty. however, if you can get over how salty it was, it's still a nice dish. it had a comfy food vibe with a mixture of mushroom, kale, poached eggs, and fine cornmeal.
egg benny (cod special): the poached eggs were just the right consistency for me. slightly runny but not the type that will leak all over the plate. the cod special egg benny simply had some lemon-y cod mushed over the english muffins. the flavors were really nice but i wish they gave more fish than just a thin spread.

i went here with a friend of mine once. so please read my review with that in mind. i went for lunch and was surprised by the price on the menu. i had no idea thisplacewas so expensive. but the food i did order was good. not the best and definitely not worth the money i paid but good enough. probably won't visit again tho since i could get better food for bette price.

with friendly staff and a welcoming interior, fable not only serves comfort food, but is aplaceof comfort. it boasts farm-to-table and actually delivers. they come at you with opening arms, filling your tummy and listening to your suggestions. i can’t wait until the next time i get to return for dinner, or try out their brunches just so i can indulge in another taste of their bacon without feeling weird to order it for dessert.

it was brunch time on remembrance day and theplacewas quite bustlin' and hustlin'. we initially wanted to go to sophie's but that line was even longer. and it is always cool to try something new. . i thought that the ambience was really nice but personally, while it was pretty yummy....

this is one of my favourite recommends on west 4th. during my initial visit i was so impressed by their unique offerings and their thorough service, even during a busy dinner set. so when my guest and i were looking for a solidplacefor a quick stop and a quick bite, this was my go to. not to mention, that she herself has had a good experience here and wanted to go.

just a really coolplaceto go. ambiance is great because everyone one else is pretty much there for the same reason- watch your food being made and having your mind blown with the flavors.

it's an experience that will having you wanting more.

we had the beef carpaccio and canned tuna- oh wow were we impressed.

i had the steak frittes and my wife had an amazing salmon dish that i actually enjoyed. and i despise almost all salmon.

highly recommended!
