Get ready, Cape Town — things are about to get spicy.
On Saturday, 1 November, Fable is transforming into a kaleidoscope of colour, culture, and tequila-fuelled revelry for a Day of the Dead celebration like no other.
Think sugar skulls, fiery cocktails, and the kind of electric energy that makes you want to stay out way past your bedtime.
💀 Why You Need to Be There
Fable’s pulling out all the stops to honour the iconic Mexican holiday — and by “honour,” we mean throw one hell of a party. Expect:
-
🎧 A live DJ to keep your bones dancing
-
🎺 A mariachi band to bring the heat (and the horns)
-
🔥 A fire dancer lighting up the night
-
🍸 Tequila and cocktail specials all evening long
It’s the perfect mashup of tradition and nightlife — with a side of lime and salt.
🌮 What’s on the Menu?
Let’s be honest: you came for the vibes, but you’ll stay for the food and drinks.
Small plates range from the punchy prawn flatbread with lemon butter and chimichurri, to the warming pork belly glazed with rooibos-kombucha and miso custard. Not to mention the cheeseboard salad, beef flatbread, and flavour-packed barley & buckwheat bowls.
For mains, take your pick of:
-
Sirloin steak with Béarnaise
-
Mushroom with black garlic and sweet potato bark
-
Line fish with grapefruit beurre blanc
-
Or go full comfort mode with chicken breast and sweet potato fondant
Pro tip? Don’t skip dessert. The burnt white chocolate sponge with lime mousse is practically a party on a plate.
🍹 Cocktails That Go Beyond the Margarita
Sure, there’s the classic margarita, but why stop there when you could sip on:
-
That Spicy Margarita Thingy (pineapple, jalapeño, yes please)
-
The Castle of Good Hope (volcan tequila, peach, and Fanta grape foam)
-
Or The One with the Tattoo, a guava-forward blend of citrus, vanilla, and mystery
They’re bold, weird, wonderful — and very on brand for the night.
