Reverie ………….a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing: lost in reverie.   A daydream………. a fantastic visionary

Chef Julia Hattingh has created a space where people will quite simply come together for dinner and share ONE table.  The table seats 18 people who will gather at this table d’hôte restaurant to relax, laugh, chat, interact and enjoy an evening where Chef Julia will send our her inspired creations for you to dissect, photograph, nibble and chat about with your neighbour.   Each night will be different as the Chef will create dishes based on what is fresh and what has inspired her that day.

Reverie Social Table is the first business venture of the young talented Chef Julia Hattingh.   Julia studied to be a Chef at Meerendal Hospitality Academy – under the extremely talented Chefs David Higgs and Wade Van Der Merwe.   She worked for three years at Waterkloof Restaurant in the Winelands before heading off to Paris to work for a year at Lucas Carton.   On her return and up until June this year she was at Holden Manz Restaurant in Franschhoek

UPDATE 2019 – I absolutely love Reverie and Chef Julia.   This is a wonderfully interactive evening as you interact with the Chef as well as those who join for dinner on the evening.    Chef Julia welcomes everyone and does an introduction to each course of food and its wine pairing as it comes out.    It is an evening of great fun as people from all over the world – and from Cape Town join for a wonderful meal prepared by a wonderful Chef!

Book well before you come as she gets extremely fully booked over season.   Book NOW. 

The offering: 

The launch price was R700 for  5 courses paired with 5 wines (tasting portions!)……so I will need to update with a new price!    Bookings are for the evenings – however if you have a group and would like to book to do it at another time – simply contact Chef Julia.  Contact details: julia@reverie.capetown or info@reverie.capetown  or+27 (21) 447 3219

Note that Reverie will be open as a coffee bar during the day with free WiFi – and Chef Julia will serve a dish of the day at lunchtimes.

I love the whole concept.  I love the warmth of Chef Julia.  I am already a complete fan and groupie

Please put me in front of the queue – I plan to be there next month to enter my own state of  Reverie –  an evening of fun, wine, friends, laughter and a talented chef who will come out and chat and play with the guests………………what more could a foodie want?  A prefect formula for fun.  I cannot wait!
