Indulge in the Moment

Moment Gastronomy’s Serbian owner and chef Ivan Matic offers a broad range of Continental cuisine at his café—think savory and sweet crepes, standard sandwiches and a solid salad selection—rather than the Serbian-inspired fare at Kiosk. Service still has a room for improvement, but Moment is a great place for both chatty coffee afternoons and solid lunches. The vibe at this Sanlitun SOHO venue is relaxed, and the place is minimally decorated in greens and blacks, a color aesthetic that extends to the staff uniforms as well. The smoked salmon and cream cheese rolls (¥45) are an absolute delight when dipped into the accompanying homemade jalapeño spread. The Moment salad set (¥55) is a great value. You get three medium-sized bowls of mixed greens, each with different toppings: pear and blue cheese; smoked salmon; and radish, cherry tomatoes, olives and pine nuts. While the tenderly textured Ella crepe (¥37), filled with ham, cheese and mushrooms, is very good, the Gusto Perfetto sandwich (¥37) with cooked spinach, blue cheese and sour cream is overwhelmed by spinach. Delicious and rich crepes (¥39) with fillings like Nutella, almonds, crushed cookies and jam, are great sweets for sharing.
