BUTCHER'S CUT

Name: BUTCHER'S CUT
Address: 서울특별시 중구 세종대로 136, 지하2층 (무교동, 서울파이낸스센터), 중구, 서울특별시, KR

붓처스컷 광화문점 Butcheoseukeot Gwanghwamun-jeom Butcher's Cut is English for the piece a butcher keeps back for himself, which is how one post explains the brand name.

Compiled from 15 blog posts read in fullSources →

Butcher's Cut Gwanghwamun is an American-style steakhouse on the second basement level of Seoul Finance Center, between Gwanghwamun and City Hall stations. It reopened after a renovation on 18 September 2026; post-renovation visitors ate the signature two-person course of three starters, two steaks, a side and champagne, which one post prices at 251,000 won, discounted to 190,000 won until 31 October. Before and after the renovation there is a weekday lunch course (bread, starter, salad, main, coffee); in February 2025 the lunch mains cost 47,000 and 51,000 won. For dinners and groups, people share the Korean-beef T-bone (750 g, 250,000 won in December 2024) or the 1 kg porterhouse. We read 30 posts from October 2024 to October 2026; 10 were about other restaurants in the same building (Ojeje, Gowooga and others) and were set aside. Of the remaining 20, 16 describe an actual meal: 8 before the renovation and 8 after.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

Four post-renovation posts saw private rooms; one counts about three, seating six, four and two. No pre-renovation post reports seeing one; a June 2026 line that rooms are available for parties of five or more is copied information.
Four posts say the tables are well spaced, making conversation easy. Low lighting comes up repeatedly; one July 2026 writer found it too dark to see well and was seated by the outer passageway despite the room being roomy.
Six of the sixteen visits were booked ahead, through Naver or CatchTable. One writer phoned to ask whether they could come earlier than their 6:30 booking and was told to come.
Six posts mention juiciness. Two had complaints about the cooking: a porterhouse ordered medium-rare that tasted closer to medium, and a lunch-course prime tenderloin the writer found dry.

3 more

Three posts call the portions large, two of them about the sides: a big Cobb salad and a creamed spinach the writer could not finish. One post says the lunch-course steak was not large but right for lunch.
Two posts call it expensive (one says it is pricey if you are paying yourself). One calls the lunch course good value, and one hedges: never cheap, but value of a sort.
Two posts were group outings (a company year-end party and a party of five), two were couples, one was a writer with her mother, and one was four friends. Another was a lunch with the writer's team leader.

Where it is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

Getting inside

In a basement	2 of 15 posts

Two posts describe finding it on B2; one says it sits toward the back of the floor rather than near the entrance, so you walk in a little. One post notes the entrance moved next door in the renovation, so older directions may be out of date.

No one mentions a step at the entrance, coming in with a wheelchair or pushchair, or taking a lift down to B2. That does not mean there is a problem, only that nobody wrote about it.

No post says whether the toilets are inside the restaurant or separated by gender.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 19 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

Three post-renovation posts (21 September to 6 October 2026) ate the same course in the same order and repeat the same phrases, such as the house's own ageing technique; none discloses sponsorship. A fourth with the same course says it was a free invitation to the soft opening. Of the eight post-renovation visits, two say the writer paid.
Prices have moved. The 1 kg porterhouse was 330,000 won in December 2024 and 340,000 won in July 2026. The 750 g T-bone was 250,000 won in December 2024; a post copying the October 2026 public menu lists 260,000 won. Post-renovation visits give no à la carte prices beyond the two-person course.
Six posts give the same hours: weekdays 11:30-22:00 with a 15:00-17:00 break, Saturday 11:30-22:00, Sunday 11:30-21:00, mostly in copied information blocks. One post differs (weekdays to 21:00, a break at weekends too), and a December 2024 post says Saturday also had a break. Only one post gives last orders (21:00 weekdays, 20:00 Sunday), and none mentions a closing day.
No post describes the walk from the station; lines like one minute from Gwanghwamun exit 5 or three minutes from City Hall exit 4 are copied directions.
No one reports waiting. Six visits were booked; one post found it full even at a weekday lunch and another watched the tables fill after they sat down. Whether walk-ins wait, we do not know.
Three posts give the phone number 02-318-0973; most bookings were made through Naver or CatchTable.
