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.

    We booked the 2 course lunch menu and it was lovely!! All the staff were attentive and Plifford who served us was lovely. I booked it for my husbands birthday, and they mentioned it once we were seated and gave him a birthday card, which was a really nice touch! It is an expensive menu but the lunch menu is well worth it.

    My friend and I ate there on Monday evening. My friend ordered a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc noting it was £38 (or thereabouts). She didn't spot there were two NZSBs on the list. It was only when we got the bill we realised we had been served the £68 NZSB. The waiter should have clarified which bottle we wanted, and if he was going to assume anything he should have assumed the cheaper bottle. Very disappointing. Regarding the food, I ordered fish and chips and the chips were undercooked and hard.
