About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Located in St. Sampsons Square - a historic part of York’s city centre known for selling great meat since the 12th century - The Cut & Craft York is widely considered one of York’s best steak restaurants.

Boasting its own in-house master butcher and a signature 10oz Flat Iron steak, this elegant restaurant is stylishly decorated with historic features throughout. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with brunch and roasts on the weekends, it’s centrally located close to the famous mediaeval York Shambles and under the shadow of York Minster.

Named 'Restaurant of the Year' at the Yorkshire National Business Hero Awards in 2023 and 2024, The Cut & Craft combines contemporary steak and seafood dishes with a premium list of locally-crafted drinks.

    Excellent food, starters were amazing, I had the goats cheese starter that was perfect, I also had the fillet steak cooked blue, which people sometimes struggle with, but it was cooked perfectly and was a really nice cut of meat. Our main waiter was great and you could really tell he cared about everything and gave us the best dining experience. Our waiter told us they are opening a cut and craft near us in Manchester but I think I will still go to York, the standard they set was so high, it was one of the highlights of our weekend, would definitely recommend to anyone
