Three rooms in one
Fable & Fork is a place to slow down. People tell us they come back for the ambience: a room full of books and character, designed to feel like someone’s very good living room.
Eat
Freshly cooked meals and cold drinks, served in a room made for lingering. Come for lunch, stay for dinner; evenings and weekends are when the room really comes alive.
Read
Pull a novel from our shelves of African fiction and read with your meal, or lose a slow afternoon to a chapter or three.
Work
By day the room is calm: a table, Wi-Fi, power and something to drink. A good place to write, study or get through your inbox.
Workspace
A quiet desk, by day
Mornings and afternoons at Fable & Fork are calm. Remote workers, students and freelancers: bring your laptop, take a table and work surrounded by books.
Day passes
A desk, Wi-Fi, power and a drink. Ask us about day passes and current prices.
