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.

    The service was excellent. The starters were fabulous. Some of our party didn’t enjoy the accompaniments to main course. It was my son’s 30th birthday and he received a card and complimentary dessert which was well received. The dress code was explained on the website which we followed but other diners did not which was disappointing ( too casual for the ambience and price mark ie. Hoodies, tracksuit bottoms).

    Considering the good reviews, I wasn’t blown away by the food or the service. Food was ok, not worth the money though, it’s Hawksmoor prices and nowhere near the same quality, the bone marrow gravy tasted like normal packet gravy. The dauphinoise portions were bitty and overcooked, definitely not freshly cooked, it’s like they’d been heated in the microwave, the cheese over the op was definitely melted in the microwave. It was all very overpriced. The front of house staff were very lovely but table service all looked quite moody and didn’t did the service to be very good at all. Didn’t experience anything that would make me want to go back.

    Family trip to York and party of 8 night out. Ambience very nice….. modern with a great vibe. Menu looks limited but is in fact more than adequate to accommodate all tastes and the food cooked to perfection. Drinks menu good and nice festive cocktails. Service was excellent despite the restaurant being full. Overall a very nice night out. We will definitely come back.

    Unfortunately my steak was really chewy, so shared my partners with him which was much better. Assume it was a bad piece as never had a bad steak before. Pigs in blankets were quite highly priced for just the 3!
