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.

    Brilliant food and vibe and atmosphere, the chef does have a rescue dog that is around, just a note if you are not a dog person.

    We had such a fantastic night at Reverie - great food, wine, service, and meeting people from around the world. Such a wonderful atmosphere just like having a delicious dinner in a friends dining room. Thank you Julia and the team. Highly Recommend. A highlight of our time in cape town.

    Julia, thank you for sharing your home and providing us with such a wonderful food and wine pairing experience. The intimacy of the dinner was lovely and it was great fun sharing the experience with random strangers and unexpectedly coming up upon connections despite the international mix.
