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.

    Definitely recommend coming here on a night out. The atmosphere is amazing the food is top tier the staff is extremely friendly. Special mentions to Jonathan who was our waiter for the night, he bought only good vibes by laughing and joking with us; and Bady the bartender who made us all fancy drinks and even understood the Instagram aesthetic assignment. You guys made our visit more special. I had an amazing time with my family last night celebrating my dad’s 50th. When booking I mentioned that we were celebrating him and they wrote a nice little message for him on a personalised card with a few drinks on the house and a candle to make a wish. Overall amazing restaurant one of the best I’ve been to.

    I can honestly say I don't think I have ever had a worse meal and experience than here. Greeted by front of house with no hello, no welcome, no eye contact, hostility and just we need your table back by 8.15. 10 minutes for someone to even come to take our drinks order. We both ordered rump steak with the homemade chips, mine was chewy with no flavour My husbands wasn't cooked correctly, a good vet could have brought it round and he asked for it medium. The homemade chips were more like 'scraps' the offcut hard bits, there was about 5 chips we could actually eat. The bread was like oily cake, it was absolutely disgusting. I can't honestly express how poor this meal was. How you can charge £27 for a steak and half a tomato, sides are extra, and then produce this poor quality of food & experience is astounding.
