BGC’s Newest Café Is Straight Out of Kenneth Cobonpue’s Wildest Dreams
By: Raeneil Inocencio - Copywriter
Step through the doors of Fable Café and Lounge, and you’ll find yourself tumbling into a world where reality blurs into fantasy. A place where time slows, the mundane vanishes, and every corner whispers of stories untold. Conceptualized by the legendary Kenneth Cobonpue, Fable is more than just a café; it’s a portal to an enchanted realm, a sensory journey where design, gastronomy, and storytelling collide in a breathtaking experience.
Our team at JG Worldwide believes that the best way to understand an experience is to live it ourselves. We spent an afternoon at Fable, immersing ourselves in the magic, and what we found was nothing short of extraordinary.

Through the Looking Glass: The moment you enter, you are greeted by an ethereal glow, a play of handwoven wire light fixtures, resembling relics from a forgotten fairytale. Towering oversized leaves shimmer above, their hues shifting with the light, casting enchanting patterns across the floor. Clamshell stools nestle against a bar that mimics the iridescence of moonlit water, while woven curios and intricate sculptures dot the space like fragments of dreams come to life.
Cobonpue’s signature craftsmanship is woven into every detail. The floor mimics pebbled riverbeds, leading you deeper into this fabled world. Shadows flicker on the walls, painting an ever-changing tapestry of nature, folklore, and art, inviting you to pause, observe, and immerse yourself in the magic.


Fable’s culinary offerings are as imaginative as its interiors, a menu carefully curated to match the fantasy. Inspired by mythical creatures and legendary voyages, every dish and drink is a chapter in an unfolding story, transporting guests with flavors that spark nostalgia and curiosity in equal measure.
Take a sip, and let the tale begin: During our visit, we were captivated by the tales each sip and bite told. We tried the Stout Traveler: a deep, velvety stout cocktail infused with exotic spices and a hint of smoked vanilla, evoking the thrill of an adventurer’s first sip of a rare and coveted elixir. We also savored the Sailing Siren: a mesmerizing blend of botanical gin, citrus mist, and oceanic notes, served in a glass adorned with delicate seafoam, reminiscent of a mermaid’s whisper in the wind. The Nest Keeper was a comforting yet unexpected concoction of honeyed whiskey, spiced fig, and warm saffron, embodying the essence of an age-old fable of guardianship, warmth, and homecoming

These drinks pair beautifully with Fable’s meticulously crafted dishes, each a tribute to folklore and fantasy where delicate seafood platters echo the ocean’s mysteries, smoky grilled meats feel like a feast in an enchanted forest, and delectable pastries carry the whispers of age-old recipes passed down through time.
Among the must-try selections are the rich and savory Lamb Tacos, indulgent Mozzaballs, and the velvety Coconut Squash Soup, offering a comforting yet refined start to your culinary adventure. The classic Caesar Salad provides a crisp, refreshing bite, while the Aglio Olio e Peperoncino delivers a punch of garlic and spice for pasta lovers. For a lighter yet satisfying option, the Avocado Toast offers a creamy, flavorful experience. Finally, end your meal on a sweet note with the decadent Marquise Cake, a chocolate lover’s dream that melts in your mouth.

A Living, Breathing Wonderland: By day, Fable is an artist’s sanctuary, a writer’s muse, a traveler’s pause bathed in natural light, perfect for brunches that stretch into afternoons of deep conversation and creative inspiration. As dusk falls, the space transforms. The lights shift, the music deepens, and Fable becomes an intimate retreat, a place where secrets are shared over candlelit tables, where laughter and stories intertwine like vines in an enchanted wood.
A DJ booth shaped like a mythical carabao oversees the night, setting the mood for those who linger, drink in hand, caught between reality and reverie. It’s a place where moments turn into memories and where every visit feels like stepping into a story yet to be written.

At its heart, Fable+ is a testament to Kenneth Cobonpue’s belief that design is an experience and unfolding performance where every guest is part of the act. Here, you don’t just dine. You journey. You wonder. You step beyond the veil of the ordinary and into a world where artistry, culture, and imagination dance in harmony.
So, the next time you seek a place that defies expectations, that makes the impossible feel tangible, and where the mundane is left at the door, follow the whispers of the wind, and let Fable transport you.
…after all, every great story begins with a step into the unknown. Are you ready to take yours?
