Reverie Social Table is proudly South African table d'hôte style eatery located in the quirky neighborhood of Observatory, Cape Town with a focus on social dining.

Each evening, chef patron Julia Hattingh welcomes guests to sit around her bespoke 18-seater table to enjoy a five-course meal exclusively created for them, and accompanied by carefully selected wines.

Guests are encouraged to put away their cell phones and engage with one another. Perfect for those who love food, wine and great company.

Chef Julia's contemporary style is strongly influenced by the chefs that have mentored her throughout her career, respect for the food she works with, her vast travels and her home town of Cape Town with its myriad of cultures and culinary heritage.

    The experience from the moment I was greeted at the door to saying goodnight as I caught my uber to the hotel was stellar. Great food, great wine, great hospitality and great company! The ambience is very comfortable. It feels like a relaxed dinner party with a dozen new friends. It could not have been better. I would have paid twice the price! If you’re a social person there is no greater dining experience in Cape Town!

    Chef Julia and her team are always doing their best to deliver an unforgettable culinary and social experience. This was our fourth visit to Reverie and it remains to us as the best restaurant (social table describes it better) of South Africa! Thank you as always chef for allowing us to enjoy your food, the wine pairing and for creating the perfect ambiance to socialize with fellow guests from all over the world.
