Fable Restaurant in San Francisco
Opened in 2013 in the Castro neighborhood, Fable showcases a passion to create seasonal, approachable and top-quality food without the pretense (or price tag) of fine dining. From starter to dessert we take pride in each and every dish we serve. We are acclaimed as both the best garden patio restaurant and best brunch in San Francisco.
Garden & Patio
We know every guest at Fable will enjoy a magical experience, no matter where they sit in our intimate San Francisco restaurant. Dine in our beautiful garden oasis—brunch under the sun or enjoy dinner on our heated, covered patio. Just steps from bustling Castro Street, our lush, secluded patio features overhanging vines, trees, and warm breezes. Sip wine or beer, savor a seasonal dish, and you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to Palm Springs.
Seasonal Menu
Fable represents the next evolution of California cuisine. Our menu changes often, inspired by the freshest locally grown, seasonal ingredients. We aim to bridge the gap between farmer and guest, letting each dish tell a story. Our chef draws inspiration from quality meats and the bounty of local seafood, adding unexpected twists—like kumquat, coriander green tea, or blood orange aioli—to familiar favorites.
Wine & Beer
Life and food are better with wine. We hand pick each glass or bottle of wine to compliment the flavors of our food and the changing seasons. We have thoughtfully created a wine list to help you choose the perfect pairing for your meal. Our list includes a number of select California wines. Additionally, we offer a rotating draft selection featuring great beers sourced from various local and national breweries.
