Tucked away in the heart of Cape Town, you’ll find fable - the not so serious, serious - cocktail bar, where folklore comes to life through cocktails flavours and theatrics. With a menu inspired by South African myths and legends, fable blends local ingredients with world-class technique to deliver a sensory journey in every sip. Behind the magic is an extraordinary team of hospitality artists - curious, cheeky, and deeply committed to craft.

    Expected more. I had better margaritas as other restaurants. Since this is a cocktail bar my expectation was that they should specialise in cocktails, especially the basic once like margaritas. Also for price I expected better quality
