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?

    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at In The Meantime. We felt very comfortable in this space and the minimalistic interior is beautiful. Will definitely be back to try some more of the delicious, fermentations and broths. Thank you very much!

    This was a lovely evening out. We loved the side dishes especially, as well as the dessert. The doughnuts are incredible!

    Truly stood up to everything it claimed to be. Food was exquisite and the service was exceptional. Just remember to take your own wine as they are yet to receive their license.
