    It’s quite expensive for how simple the food was. It wasn’t bad but there was no wow factor, way too simple. Would say go to Whitespot or Triple Os instead for burgers and shake, it’ll be cheaper and tons better! Was actually really shocked by how small the portions were. But the restaurant was really quiet and looks nice, clean and lots of seating.

    Fable DinerResponded on November 7, 2023

    Thanks for coming in. I have worked at Whitespot as well. I can say first hand that not only do they get better deals, since they are a big purchaser, the quality is not as good. By all means, go there, as I like them too, but the burgers and shakes are definitely not better. :)

    Nice group brunch place. Duck pancakes, hot mess and truckers breakfast plates are large. Smoked salmon bennies with rosti small in comparison. Busy so service was slow for coffee and water refills. Only drip coffees available. No lattes etc

    We went there for breakfast and the food was surprisingly insipid and below average. Same for the three of us. I would never go back. High prices for such low quality food, I feel people go there for the ambiance only.

    Fable DinerResponded on September 16, 2023

    Sorry to hear your take. I assure you, the pricing is as low as it can be. I am sorry the food came across as low quality. It is not.

    Quite disappointed actually. Avocado toast was meh… I could’ve made wayyy better at home. Eggs were cold and was charged for salad which I thought was coming with dish. Granted it was fathers day but it took over 45 minutes for our order to arrive. Too many other great places to go…

    Great food and service. They did forget my friends milkshake but it eventually came. I would have liked to have seen some greens served along side the chicken benny. The plate felt a bit sparse and I noticed that my friend who order the salmon benny got salad. Just a suggestion.

    They no longer offer the prohibition breakfast, which means you need to order off the menu. Luckily, that's a safe bet.

    This place used to be really good, with lines out the door. Not sure whether management changed, or what, but it's just garbage now. We've tried a couple of times and both times the service is awful, and the food equally bad. Given the place was dead quiet on a Sat night over Easter long weekend, its no surprise it was quiet. Restaurants, especially in Vancouver, especially in Mt Pleasant, need to stay on top of their game to survive, unfortunately Fable clearly hasn't.

    Our server was awesome! They were friendly, funny, and helpful. Our food came out in a timely manner despite how busy it was. The only critique I have is that the portions seemed to have gotten smaller while the prices have increased :( We had the prohibition meal and the scones at the start and cookies at the end have shrunk by half the size. Our entree (the vegan bowl) also seemed a lot smaller. It was mainly a bed of potatoes with a few leaves for kale, some mushrooms, and a carrot. It was delicious but not very satiating and it was missing the cauliflower advertised. The milkshakes we ordered were satisfactory in size and really good!!

    I was quite sad to have rate this low. The server was distracted. There was no wine available that we wanted. We waited over 45 minutes from sitting down to eating. The server cleared three plates but left the last plate on the table until we paid the bill. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend Fable this time around.

    The duck pancake was very good and I would definitely order it again. It was an interesting combination of flavours and textures. The coffee could be better for the price of 3.79 a cup. It tasted weak and insipid. I expect better as I can get an americano for the same or less.

    Great food for a diner and better than some upper scale sports bar I’ve been too. Price and value is good. Seem to have fewer staffs on a Saturday night and takes a while to get anything. Food took longer than average to come. Restaurant is not dirty but can be cleaner. We’ll come back though.
