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.

    Flat iron steak and chunky chips with a glass of house red. Simple but well cooked and presented. Delicious.

    After visiting the Leeds Cut and Craft which was amazing we decided to try the York Cut and Craft, first impressions it was busy and noisy. After a short wait we were shown to our table which was in a draughty corner. We felt the staff weren’t as attentive and helpful as the staff in Leeds. We ordered a chateaubriand which we had also ordered in Leeds and we asked if we could have it done half and half well done and medium the waitress told us they didn’t do it like that we explained that Leeds suggested we did it that way, the waitress has to go away and ask and she told us they wouldn’t normally do it but on this occasion they would. Towards the end of our meal we felt they were hovering for our table. Would we go back to York no, would we go back to Leeds definitely.

    Great atmosphere; dark, stylish and chic. Trying to keep my spend low, I chose the flat iron for the first time, as I am a fillet steak girl, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tender, flavoursome and juicy it was. Good experience.

    Visited for my birthday dinner with my fiancé. The steak was really good, a bit hard to chew but tasted amazing. Great mock-tails, great atmosphere. Only complaint was we waited for over 30 minutes for the bill, after asking for it, while our waitress stood around by the bar. We eventually asked someone else and received it pretty quick after that. Other than that, had a great time, would come again.
    The Cut & Craft YorkResponded today
    Thank you Ashley for your review & for choosing us for your birthday celebrations. We apologise if your steak did not meet your expectations in regards to the texture. We will pass your feedback on to our Head Chef for review. We are pleased to learn you enjoyed the atmosphere and mocktails & really appreciate your feedback. We apologise for the delay in receiving your bill and thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and we will address this with our Front of House team to ensure a smoother service moving forward. We are happy to hear you had a great time and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. The Cut & Craft

    I’m teetotal and ordered a low/no alcohol drink. After a couple of mouthfuls I realised it wasn’t what I ordered and asked that it was checked. I was then informed they’d given me an alcoholic drink. It completely ruined the evening for us despite the food being very nice. The offer to reduce our bill by the drink was an insult and only after complaining to the manager did we get a small additional discount.
    The Cut & Craft YorkResponded today
    Thank you Danny for taking time to share some feedback on your most recent experience with us. We are so sorry to hear about the error with your drink & understand how upsetting this must have been. Your enjoyment is incredibly important to us, and we sincerely apologise for this misunderstanding. Whilst we offered a discount to address this situation, we understand that this did not make up for the impact it had on your evening, and we regret that it felt insufficient. We have raised your concerns with our entire Front of House team to ensure a better attention to detail moving forward, please accept our apologies. We hope to welcome you back again in the future to turn this experience around. The Cut & Craft

    Excellent service. Food was nice but not good value. Sides are very expensive for what they are. Desserts are a complete rip off
