💖 Inside Moment Local Busan (Shindo Lab 2.0) : Atmosphere & Dining Guide

Located along the quiet slopes of Dalmaji-gil, the unique exterior of Moment Local Busan catches your eye right away, even from a distance.

Right near the entrance was this stylish display—champagne bottles placed inside a white bathtub! Filled with some of my favorite champagnes, too.

Step inside, and you’ll find a surprisingly open space with a charming European bistro vibe.

There’s a nice variety of seating—cozy tables for two, larger seating along the main hall, and private room spots tucked away in the back.

If you’re on a date, these 2-seater window spots are perfect. Enjoying a glass of wine in the afternoon while looking outside sounds like pure bliss.

If you’re visiting solo or enjoy whiskey, taking a seat at the bar is a great option.

The warm, moody lighting over the bar feels like a mixologist could craft any drink you ask for. I’m not a big whiskey drinker, but this atmosphere makes me want to try one.

Look at the size of these oysters! Triploid oysters are specifically grown to be sterile, allowing them to reach 2 to 3 times the size of regular ones—almost as big as an adult’s palm.

This space is dedicated to chilling paired wines. A chilled glass of Granbazán would go amazingly well with the fresh oysters.

This is the private room. Personally, though, I think I prefer the main dining area outside.

You can also bring your own bottle by paying a corkage fee of ₩30,000. They have different glassware for each wine type, and the sommelier takes care of all the serving for you.

Sitting down and looking outside, you really get to soak in the charming atmosphere of Dalmaji-gil. If you have time after your meal, taking a stroll around the area is highly recommended. As I’ll introduce later, there are lovely art galleries and vibrant cultural spaces nearby to explore.

For the steak, they bring out various cuts on a platter so you can choose. After listening to their explanation, you can pick your preferred cut. Note that cooking takes about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, the triploid oysters arrived.

They served a variety of sauces and even a bit of whiskey so we could enjoy different flavors. The whiskey comes in tiny dropper bottles—you just add a few drops right onto the oyster.

It might look small in the photo, but it was actually huge in person. I added about two drops of whiskey, which brought out a fresh and even richer flavor.

This is the Korean-style beef tartare roll we ordered as a side. The exterior was lightly seared, giving it a subtle smoky flavor that paired amazingly well with the tangy sauce.

We also ordered escargot (though I know it might not be for everyone! ^^;). It paired amazingly well with the wine.

For our first wine, we had a Chardonnay by the renowned producer Pierre Vincent. It was light and floral, pairing exceptionally well with the oysters.

This roasted cabbage dish was absolutely delicious. It feels like incorporating eco-friendly and organic ingredients is becoming a real trend—much like Michelin Green Star restaurants—and I love how it makes eating vegetables so enjoyable.

The long-awaited perfectly grilled 1++ Hanwoo steak…! This is the main highlight here — honestly, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say we came just for this.

These cuts are Hanwoo Hanging Tender and Neck Chain. In Korea, beef with just the right amount of marbling is considered top tier.

This cut was the Ribeye Center (Eye of Ribeye). It was new to me, but it had a wonderfully firm and chewy texture.

The legendary Super Tuscan, Sassicaia!!
The 2019 vintage received 99 points from James Suckling and 98 points from Robert Parker (Wine Advocate). Since it was a bit young, we had it decanted for about 40 minutes, and the sommelier served it to perfection.

It gave off complex aromas of black fruits like blackcurrant and black cherry, mixed with cedar and graphite. As expected, the taste was truly elegant—a choice that never fails, and it paired amazingly well with the steak.

It gets even more inviting as it gets dark, thanks to the fantastic lighting setup.

Since changing its name from Shindo Lab 2.0 to Moment Local, there have been a few menu updates, so I’m sharing the latest menu here.

Thanks to a limited capacity that kept things from getting crowded, we were able to enjoy a peaceful and quiet meal.

It was our first gathering in a while, and time just flew by. We had a wonderful meal! While it is on the higher price side, the food and service definitely deliver. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a special dining experience.
