"Please note our Social Table dinners are by booking only and we are not able to accommodate walk-ins. Reverie is a space where guests are invited to switch off from the world. Whether it's by joining us for a quick, simple lunch or indulge in one of our unique Social Table dinners. In the evenings our dinners are something special and a whole-night affair! We collaborate with local wineries to bring the tasting rooms to the city. 5 courses, 6 wines, 1 table and one fabulous dinner party! Chef/owner Julia Hattingh's menus are focused on sustainable, seasonal, local produce and composed to compliment the wines. Break away and find your reverie! We'd love to welcome you to our Social Table."

"Ganesh is brought to you from the team behind Bodega Ramen. As Obs locals themselves, they have taken over the institution that is Cafe Ganesh in Observatory, now named simply - Ganesh. It remains a space synonymous with crayfish samosas, late-night conversations, live music, sharing of quarts, and a meeting space for friends and strangers, locals, artists, students and activists. The building has been given a facelift and the restaurant at the back has been turned into a small Thai Street Food restaurant. Embracing Thai Kitsch and the street food flavours and experience the three owners (Ryan, Bryn and Jade) had while travelling Thailand together."
