La Fable

A Traditional French Bistro

The Inspiration

As a young girl, my grandmother would lovingly read to me storybooks from her childhood. We would lay together with a book on rainy days and, as I watched the water droplets race down the window panes, she would find a way to articulate the words from the pages in such a way that the stories became movie reels in my mind.

I remember with clarity the day she introduced me to Eloise in Paris. It felt so foreign—being a young girl in Rehoboth Beach, hearing the tales of the precocious Eloise gallivanting through the City of Lights' most iconic sights. That book became my first taste of the whimsical and enchanting world that I would one day associate with fine experiences like fable dining, where meals tell stories and every detail captures the imagination.

Much like Eloise’s adventures, fable dining turns an ordinary moment into something extraordinary—a cherished tale to be remembered and retold.

The Inspiration

As a young girl, my grandmother would lovingly read to me story books from her childhood. We would lay together with a book on rainy days and as I would watch the water droplets race down the window panes, she would find a way to articulate the words from the pages in a way that the stories would become movie reels in my mind. I remember with clarity the day she introduced to me, “Eloise in Paris”. It felt so foreign, being a young girl in Rehoboth Beach, hearing the tales of the precocious Eloise gallivanting throughout the city of lights most iconic sights…

A few decades later, I found myself in the position of creating a restaurant concept in a unique space downtown Rehoboth. As I considered the possibilities, it became apparent that the sub-terrarian space reminded me of the many French restaurants of Paris and New York City. Memories of Eloise flooded my mind and I immediately sought out to find a copy of the book detailing her time spent in Paris. Within a day, the vision for La Fable was created. It has now been a dream come true to create an experience that not only transports our guests to their memories of France, but also brings my movie reel of Eloise to life.
