Like a lot of these reviews i have lived in Darlinghurst for years and gone to many cafes .The funny thing is i live right across the road from Fable and have walked past but never been in. Its very simple in style which is what i like but the food is the winner...(i dont drink coffee so cant comment on that) I had the Hilltop organic Poached Eggs on Toast with house pickled raddish, Kurrajong leaves and handmade dukkah ( an Egyptian condiment consisting of a mixture of herbs, nuts, and spices.

My favourite was the Tea Oven Roasted Duck Open Sandwich but the Pulled Lamb was too dry. The NZ King Smoked Salmon was great too so was the smoked trout. Their homemade yellow capsicum sauce is flavoursome and devine. However, now I have done several visits I wish there’s more options for the sauce.
On all occasions I wish the herb garnish they used were more vibrant and healthy looking unfortunately they looked just slightly wilted and tired. Some vegetables could be looking quite dried too and I hope this would be improved upon as I would love to keep coming here.
The coffee is pleasant but not quite to my taste. I prefer something with a little more depth, a deeper flavour and...
