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.

    Always a great experience at the Reverie, Julia and her team are fantastic hosts, delicious locally sourced food and excellent wine pairings, plus new friends at the end of the evening. Highly recommend. Great place for those visiting Cape Town to share their experiences and give and or receive tips of things to still squeeze in whilst here.

    Julia was a most gracious hostess. The food was excellent, the wines well chosen to accompany the food and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this eatery for a special occasion or simply to enjoy meeting new people at the communal dinner table.

    Wonderful concept of a social table! The entire experience was lovely from the warm welcome by Julia herself, the superb food paired with excellent wines, the ambiance, the service and wonderful people at the table. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would highly recommend the special restuarant experience.

    Fantastic evening! Host made me feel welcome from moment I arrived and helped, group of people from across the world, to start chatting. Food and wine was prepared and presented with thought and care and with nice background for each pairing. Highly recommend this evening!
