Fables and food — Restaurant in England

This beautiful South African cafe is one of the most excellent places i’ve ever visited.

Genuinely one of the nicest cafe’s ive ever had the pleasure...

Personal brunch favourites include the corn pancake stack, the vanilla eggy bread (french toast), the Boer and Brit breakfast and the melk tert (milk tart). Impeccable all round - rating just five stars seems too few! 100% recommend to everyone; you won't be...

The staff treated everyone who entered like familiar faces and took there time to help everyone! It has such a friendly atmosphere! If you’re looking for something a bit different I would definitely recommend. We will...
