Hello, friends! Have you been wondering where I am trading? We’ve been wondering who wll find us here, our new location at The Palms, 145 Sir Lowry Road, Woodstock, Cape Town, SA.​

We’re preparing something memorable, and we can’t wait to meet you.

While we’re waiting for the final settings, we’re making something for you. Come and taste the dumplings, fried chicken, warm broths, and many more menu items that have been loved since we opened in Salt River years ago and then took these tastes to Parliament Street in town, Makers Landing at V&A Waterfront, and into our friends’ homes.

We want you to be a part of making our space everything it can be. The service will be easy and casual. Sittings are limited. Will you come and join us to create something special?

    Was really looking forward to eating at In The Meantime, after having dined on Sepial's Korean deliciousness at Allium, years ago. She did not disappoint! A beautiful, flavourful meal that showcases her care and consideredness. Fantastic veg and vegan options. Can't wait to go back.

    Each menu item that we ordered was beautifully presented and freshly prepared and delicious. They went out of their way to prepare a special request for me and the hospitality was excellent. Can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.
