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.

    Came for my mum's 60th birthday. Service was slow & not much drink choice & the waiter nearly knocked my sister out not once but twice. The food was nice but not worth the price you pay

    Everything was ok. Food was nice although was disappointed as Sunday lunch was no longer being served at 4.30 pm even though advertised till 6 pm. Ordered steak and was ok for price the sides are quite expensive but was tasty. Desserts were really overpriced at £12 for a chocolate fudge cake and £7.50 for two scoops of ice cream that was again just ok.Service was good. I feel the restaurant is trying to be too posh with prices and how they serve your meals. (Few waiters to serve the food.) The decor is nice but feels like it could do with a good clean and toilets wasn’t great smelling. The floors upstairs felt greasy underfoot. Don’t get me wrong the place was all ok but feel it needs some extra care and attention in places to justify the prices. It was £200 for a meal for 2 adults and 1 child and only 1 adult drinking this consisted of 2 starters 3 mains and sides and 1 dessert. The atmosphere was nice and it was busy. Dress code isn’t as strict as it says when booking as they were guests in tracksuits and trainers. I
