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.

    Drinks came within minutes of ordering yet food took half an hour despite restaurant being quiet when ordering. Asked for tap water and got given still and then charged just under £5 for the bottle. Service charge they added on 12% despite saying service charge was 10% on the receipt. Food portion very small and gin not brought in gin glasses

    First time visiting this restaurant. Everything was lovely. Only 1 small issue was Fillet steak was very tough to cut even with it being medium rare.

    We have had a numberifmealsout here and always had a good eating experience. The food quality is excellent. The service levels are ata veryhigh level. It has a lovely atmosphere, apart from a vouple of loud Americans. The only small criticism is the temperature if the accompaniments i.e. chips and veg. They wete only just warm on arrival and soon went cold. Other than that we really enjoyed our experience and will definitely return
