New Year’s Eve in Cape Town always carries a certain buzz, but fable has a way of taking that energy and turning it into something unforgettable.
This year, the cocktail bar is promising a night that blends glamour, good food, and the kind of celebratory sparkle that Moët & Chandon practically exists for.
On 31 December, guests can choose between two seatings—6pm or 9pm—but both lead to the same destination: a lively, late-running celebration that feels more like a story you’ll want to retell than just another night out. Fable has built its reputation on atmosphere, and New Year’s Eve is when that talent goes into full technicolor.
- The evening starts with a welcome cocktail, the hint of what’s to come. As midnight approaches, glasses are raised again—this time filled with Moët & Chandon for the countdown toast. It’s a simple touch that elevates the night from fun to festive, marking the moment with the kind of sparkle only champagne can deliver.
The food offering leans into variety and indulgence. Guests enjoy a spread featuring a garden bowl salad, beef flatbread, hot honey chicken sliders, and rich, tender pork belly. For the main event, each guest chooses between steak or line fish, making the menu feel both curated and flexible. At R750 per person, it’s a generous celebration that still feels accessible.
The lighting, the music, the energy of the room—everything builds toward that sense of being exactly where you want to be when the clock strikes twelve. The team describes the night as “magical,” and for once, that word doesn’t feel over the top.
With limited seats and a reputation for filling up fast, Fable’s New Year’s Eve experience is one of those things you book early, mark in your calendar, and then count down to with growing anticipation. If ending 2025 somewhere that feels like a moment matters to you, fable has the night ready. All you need to do is show up, dress up, and let the year unfold one last cocktail at a time.
