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.

    This was by far the best meal we have had in years - not an exaggeration. Everything from the service to the unbelievably good food (the fillet steak is well worth it) was incredible. Me and my fiance barely spoke as the food was that good. 10/10 will be coming back next time we are in town.

    Pete was amazing. We eat here quite a lot as it’s a staple date night place for us. We decided to come here for Valentine’s Day. The service from Pete was above and beyond, he was by far the best waiter we have had ant this restaurant and had a lovely attitude. The food was great as well and quick service. No complaints and I look forward to coming back soon.

    Although we enjoyed our evenung it was spoiled by the fact that I advised , at the time of our booking, that it was my husbands birthday. However during or visit, despite the fact the event was acknowledged , no mention was made by any of the staff during or after our meal.

    This place is style over substance and seems more suited if you are in your 20’s. The reception staff didn’t make us feel overly welcome. The lady who took our order was pleasant enough. The food came out quite cold but the mac and cheese was replaced with a warmer one. The steak was too charred on the outside and not cooked properly on the inside making both steaks rare rather than medium. Overall I liked the style of the restaurant but it needs to work on its customer service.

    Lovely meal and service. However a bit disappointed that we mentioned when booking the table we were celebrating a birthday but this was not acknowledged at all during our visit.
