Broadway Subway construction forces longtime Mount Pleasant diner to close

In Food by Anywhere Vancouver

After more than a decade, Fable Diner has announced its Mount Pleasant location is closing later this month.

In a press release, the restaurant said it was a “difficult decision” to make, and that its final day of service will be Sunday, August 23rd.



The restaurant added that it could not secure a favourable long-term lease or negotiate its ongoing financial obligations favourably to survive the current conditions.

“With the delayed completion of the nearby Broadway Subway station and no definite completion date confirmed, the current terms did not allow the business to continue operating sustainably through this period,” said Fable Diner.



Located in the historic Lee Building at Broadway and Main, their menu features diner classics like burgers, shakes, and fries, alongside fresh salads, sandwiches, and all-day breakfast.

“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Fable Diner over the years — our staff, our regular guests and everyone who has walked through our doors,” said owner Ron MacGillivray.

“It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re proud of what we’ve built here and the community that has grown around the restaurant. While we don’t have anything confirmed at this time, we’d love to explore the possibility of bringing Fable Diner back in another location or food truck down the road.”

Although this chapter in Mount Pleasant is coming to an end, guests can still visit Fable Kitchen on West 4th Avenue and Fable Diner & Grill on Richards Street.
