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.

    I just love the whole experience. Food with soul and honesty in an environment stripped of all the modern fast paced noise...

    What a wonderful evening! A terrific concept that was a lot of fun. I had wonderful conversations all evening with people from around the world. The food and wine were absolutely terrific! And if I could give the service even more than 5 stars, I would. I could not recommend this more.
