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.

Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
