We visited Reverie last night and the whole experience was faultless! Saw another review that mentioned the bread and butter, can confirm best we’ve ever had too, amongst everything else that was served. Thank you Julia and team for the incredible food and wine pairings!

The chef is amazing. Her team is great. The food was delicious and she masterfully paired the food with great wine. I highly recommend. It’s great if you come alone or with a guest. The concept of dining either people you don’t know at a communal table is fantastic (especially when paired with amazing food).

Julia basically hosts us in her 'dining room' , which is dominated by a huge table for ~20 people. We met our partners in crime in the back for an aperitif and then sat for a 5 course meal. Julia has chosen the wine for each course while we are busy to get to know each other. What a lovely idea to meet strangers over dinner with all of them having the same purpose in mind: being curious. The food is outstanding, the service too. The whole experience lasted for ~5 hours and it was a blast.

We were so looking forward to our evening at Reverie Social Table when we were in Cape Town in September. The evening lived up to our expectations and exceeded them. From the moment we entered and were greeted by Julia with a wonderful glass of wine, the evening began on a perfect note. We mingled with some of the other guests until it was time for dinner to begin. It was fun and interesting to learn about where people were from and trade stories of our Africa adventures. When dinner began, we were served one delicious course after another with an explanation of each dish by Julia and the sourcing of the ingredients. Each course was paired with the perfect wine from a local wine producer who was present at the dinner and offered insightful explanations of each wine. As the evening progressed, Julia suggested that we switch our seats around to speak with some other guests. This was such a great idea and afforded the opportunity to connect and share some more stories. Our evening at Reverie stands out as one of the main highlights of our trip to South Africa and we highly recommend this experience if you travel to Cape Town. We thank Julia for her hospitality and for the best dinner party we ever attended.

Julie and her team create a fabulous dinner with set the scene for beautiful exchanges between the guests so you feel like family. You could even join as solo traveller and will be integrated. The ingredients for the dishes come if possible from local social projects. The wines served are special and very carefully picked.

This was an experience I can recommend to everyone. Upon arrival you were greeted with a glass of wine. We had a good time meeting new people. The food was great and so was the wine pairing. It really feels like the owner wants this to be memorable for everyone.

What a fantastic experience! The concept is genius, met lots of fun and interesting people, the food was exceptional, Julia and her team know exactly what they are doing, and the wine pairing was just perfect. Eveything was top, food, company, ambience, cannot reccomend enough, will definitely be back! Does get booked up very fast so make sure you book well in advance.
