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.

    We had an incredible experience - loved the social table. Can't believe we had never heard of this place (in 9 years of operation). Its a hidden gem in Cape Town - and only the foreign visitors seem to know about it! We will be back

    Enjoyed this experience! Julia is an amazing chef, and hostess. Unlike anyplace else in Capetown. I will definitely return, as I visit Capetown frequently for business. Would definitely go solo, however went with boyfriend this time.
