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.

    I was expecting it to be the quality of milller and carter but it was like beefeater. The steak was poor quality. The service wasn’t that great either as they rushed each course to get the table free for the next customer.

    Venue is very nice and staff are very nice and attentive. Food is presented well but personally lacking in major flavour/seasoning. Nice for a local dinner.

    For years the Cut&Craft York has been our all-time favourite restaurant, absolutely the best!! The food is excellent everytime! The staff are actually good at their jobs (unlike pretty much any other restaurant where waiters aren't even capable of clearing a table so just stack everything on a big pile or they're moody etc.)

    The restaurant is well decorated and a good atmosphere. Unfortunately the pork apt and the rib eye were not great. Rib eye grizzly and the pork stodgy and no taste! For the price would not return. They did compensate the steak with a glass of wine.
