Fillet steak, truffle fries and garlic mushrooms all come highly recommended.
The Cut & Craft are known in York for their comfortable yet stylish bar and restaurant, but the popular eatery have now announced they will be opening another venue in Leeds later this year.
Work has now commenced on The Cut and Craft Leeds, with the restaurant sharing the occasional update on their Instagram page.
Their selection of craft beers, located just minutes from the York Minster have made this restaurant a firm favourite for anyone visiting the city.
There very little information about the specific details of the Leeds restaurant but visitors can expect the same beautiful interior and mouthwatering delights as their flagship York restaurant.

Their signature flat iron steaks currently come from their in-house master butcher in York and leave nothing by empty plates and glowing reviews.
The new venture for the Cut & Craft is expected to be located in Victoria Quarter and it will certainly fit right in.
Think long hallways, high ceiling with a luxury hotel feel. A dimly lit bar will set the ambience for any intimate affair, with grand chandelier-eque fixtures sitting above velvet booths.

The grandeur of the existing York venue is complemented perfectly by their drinks menu. There are a range of wines and cocktails where Moët Spritzers and Espresso Martinis are hidden on the menu amongst a range of sophisticated boozy drinks.
The Paradise in Yorkshire cocktail is a particular delight anticipated to make an appearance in their Leeds restaurant. Absolut Mango Vodka is shaken to fuse with Passoa, pomegranate, apple and passionfruit and sounds delicious.
Most inquisitive ale drinkers will be delighted with their Black Sheep ale, infused with sticky toffee pudding.
100% British burgers, oysters on ice with tabasco, craft chicken wings with succulent sauces are just some of the menus that get local foodies talking but it is their steaks that Cut & Craft are best known for.
Choose from premium steak cuts like rib-eye, sirloin and fillet, each aged for 30 days and sourced exclusively for the restaurant.

Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.
Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
