'I wouldn't wish it on anyone': Why many B.C. restaurants are struggling

There are days when Ron MacGillivray feels more like a prize fighter than a restaurateur.

After three decades in the industry, he has taken his share of hits, but after a bad year or two, he would get his feet under him again. Fable Kitchen, co-founded with Chef Trevor Bird, opened in Kitsilano in 2012. Two more restaurants followed, along with Michelin Guide recognition.

But lately, the punches have been landing.

“I feel like I’ve gone nine rounds and been knocked down every round,” he said. “I’ve been pummeled, and I don’t know how I’m going to make it.”

MacGillivray sold his house after the pandemic to keep his businesses going. Now, two of his restaurants are for sale, too, including Fable Diner & Bar downtown and Fable Diner at the corner of Main Street and Broadway. At the diner, which was featured on a Guy Fieri Food Network show in 2019, visits have dropped 45 per cent in three years as the Broadway subway line construction continues.

“I’ve been involved in restaurants my whole life,” said MacGillivray. “This is the worst stretch I’ve ever seen.”
