Brancusi in York

Amazing service and quality ingredients. We had french toast and the eggs florentine, paired with lovely coffees. Would return withiut a doubt, the staff are outstanding as well

I haven’t eaten here yet, but I am writing this review purely on the basis of the excellent non-alcoholic drinks offering. I had previously visited to enjoy their excellent coffee, but noticed on my last visit that they serve Bovito. I have recently stopped drinking alcohol, and it is so lovely to find somewhere serving ‘grown-up’ drinks that cater for the ever-increasing sober market. Thank you Brancusi. I will definitely be back.

Food was delicious, freshly cooked and great flavours! Really nice place to go for lunch, staff were friendly and had a nice atmosphere

Delicious brunch. Great specials menu for brunch including a Spanish latte with condensed milk and a ragu toastie. The eggs on toast were great. The flat white was also amazing

An unexpected pleasure! What a place, innovative & delicious plates of food, exemplary & exciting wines, served by knowledgeable, friendly & warm staff...a rare gem! In an overcrowded market of obnoxious fine dining, Brancusi is a shining example of class, quality and a love for creative cooking. A Place where memories are made! Thankyou Brancusu. We will be back x

Absolutely brilliant food and service. We had such a great time and enjoyed every single thing we ordered - the lamb shoulder and smoked eel were particular favourites but everything was exquisite!

We went here for lunch today and it was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious; staff were friendly and attentive; and the atmosphere was cosy and warm. Gorgeous place. They had a good kids menu too, and my 9-year-old had scrambled egg, sausage and home fries.

A warm welcome and the most delicious lunch.

Ambiente muy relajado y buena comida / bebida. El personal es amable y servicial, que es tan importante como la calidad de la comida y las bebidas. Disfrutamos de la visita.

I’d recommend making a reservation! We decided to stop by on a whim since we were passing by and hungry. The restaurant is beautiful, featuring a lovely conservatory-style skylight. Unfortunately, since we didn’t book ahead, we were seated near the front of the restaurant, by the bar. Despite the slightly awkward seating however the food was amazing, and the staff were really friendly. Definitely recommend!

Uno de los mejores lugares en los que he comido durante mucho tiempo. Excelente menú de brunch, servicio amable y muy profesional Gran ambiente La comida era absolutamente increíble, el shakshouka era delicioso, pero el butty de tocino ahumado con vieiras reinas fue un cambio absoluto de juego! Muy buen café también y los precios son razonables Por cierto mencioné que hacen un sandwich de tocino con vieiras.

We were taken here from Partisan without being asked, just told to follow a member of staff so we were a bit confused as we didn't realise it was the same menu. We had coffee and cake and it was lovely, however the coffees took about 25 minutes to come and they were lukewarm, and our plates were taken when we weren't finished. Really nice food, the service just felt a bit rushed

Shame there was only one slice of toast with the poached eggs otherwise exelent.

Incredible dining experience. The food was exceptional, service was wonderful and the atmosphere was lovely. We was blown away by the dishes that we had and highly recommend checking out, you won’t regret it!

Early evening dinner. Great service and the food was fantastic. I had the vegan option and it was excellent.

My girlfriend I both got the full English and loved them – the quality of the ingredients was amazing Good stuff 👏

Excellent service and delicious food. The prices are not affordable but it is worth it!

Unfortunately we couldn't find a table as it was busy but it looked great and with amazing natural light. We got takeaway coffees and cakes and they were very good.

Good coffee in a pleasant atmosphere

Presentation was great, food not so much especially for the price however bakery items were delicious and relatively cheap

Came here for brunch while in York for the weekend and was blown away! My partner and I both got the full English and loved them – the quality of the ingredients was amazing, not a duff thing on the plate. Black pudding in particular was fantastic. We also both had a Bloody Mary and, as someone who is very fussy about a Bloody Mary, I had no complaints! The service is the other thing to mention here. The team were so attentive, helpful and friendly and really efficient with service. They all seemed really happy to be there too, which makes all the difference. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely and welcoming too, just really relaxed and stylish. Couldn’t recommend it more. Fantastic value for the quality of the food and the exceptional service too!

A Fantastic Satuday morning experience. The staff are so pleasant, the Latte is superb ( coming from a tea drinker) and the cooked breakfast is top notch. Make sure you book as people are queing out of the door as the morning goes on.

Such a hygge place. Will be coming again !!

First time here and very pleasantly surprised. Relaxed and clean atmosphere. Food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Will be back.

Very friendly and fast service. Delicious food

Absolutely fantastic place. Staff were super friendly, and food was excellent. My best poached eggs on toast I’ve had so far - probably ever! Coffee is 10/10 too

We were made to feel very welcome. The food was great and their kind attention was very welcoming. Thank you. We will be back.

Awesome brunch and good coffee. I enjoyed my first Spanish Latte!

I discovered this place whilst visiting York. I had brunch (eggs and coffee). It was great and fairly priced. The atmosphere is nice. The members of staff are very attentive. I'd highly recommended

Un lugar tan bonito en Micklegate. El personal era muy acogedor, y me gustó mucho mi French Toast. Sin duda volvería a llamar especialmente para pasteles caseros y café

Great little venue, the food was very tasty, I had the Eggs Benedict which came with a nice side salad and some potatoes. Would have been better if it was a bit warmer. Been back again and had the full English minus the black pudding and mushrooms, with a cappuccino, it was all great 👌🏽

Amazing food! Fresh ingredients. Honest prices. I can only recommend!

Visited here as part of a weekend away in York as I saw it listed on a social media video as a ‘must visit’ and it was near our hotel. It’s really close to Mickelgate - so easy to find and get to. I didn’t realise it’s open as a cafe/brunch spot during the day, but we went for dinner around 7pm. We booked online with no problems (and I would recommend booking). The staff were warm and welcoming, took our coats and sat us in a quiet corner as I’d asked on the booking form. Tables are presented lovely with lit candles etc. the decor in general is very nice and it’s very clean and comfortable. The drinks list was great, lots to deliberate over and I was thrilled to see orange wine listed by the glass. Me and my husband had bread, starters, mains and desserts, 2 drinks each and (including service charge) came to £130ish which I think was very reasonable given the quality of the food and the time we had. We ate every scrap of all the dishes. The only thing I wasn’t overly keen on is that I found the chairs a bit rickety and untrustworthy - swapped mine with a sturdier one at an unused table after a bit just for peace of mind 😂 Recommendations from the menu would be: - the beef cheek starter - confit duck main - tiramisu dessert

Buena selección de artículos de brunch. Ambiente casual acogedor. Personal amable y cálido. Tuvimos desayuno inglés completo, huevos benedict y huevos españoles. Todos eran sabrosos, pero habrían preferido los frijoles normales a los frijoles ahumados en el inglés completo. Buena selección de café especial.

In York today to visit the annual Ice Trail and as I got here early I had some time to kill so decided to get breakfast. Brancusi is located on Micklegate in York. I entered at about quarter to 10 and at that time there wasn’t too many people inside however by the time I left at half 10 I could see the venue was very popular, almost every table was taken from what I could see! As a solo diner I found the staff were very polite and they were quick to take my order. The venue was nicely presented, clean, tidy and warm since it was rather chilly today. There is also customer toilets on site. To eat I had the French Toast and a glass of Orange Juice. The food itself was nice and I enjoyed the flavours of it. Downsides, I thought the food was over priced for what you got. Yes it was nicely presented and appealing however I think it was a touch on the expensive side. The French Toast was £15 and the orange juice was £3 for a small glass! £18 in Total. The overall service was good despite how busy it was getting. Unfortunately they let themselves down when it came to the payment. I asked to pay and a waitress promptly came across with the card machine and told me it was £19.80. I was a bit confused as I thought it was lower than that and perhaps I had made a mistake. Afterwards when I left the venue I figured out what the difference was! 10% of gratuity! Now in hindsight I should have asked them for an itemised bill which is my own mistake I can accept that. Yes the service was good but it should be my OWN choice whether I decide to leave a tip. It shouldn’t be forced upon me by just being told the total to pay without being given a break down. That spoiled the whole experience for me. I recommend you give the place a try as the menu looked varied from what I saw just slightly over priced. However just be prepared to ask for a itemised bill before you pay!

This really is the best restaurant in York, especially for a good, non-fussy but extremely delicious dinner. Portions are generous, everything clearly cooked from scratch in their own kitchen using an interesting array of fresh ingredients. And my goodness, the flavours! Just wonderful—and unlike so many places they don’t stint on the sauces. Everything just perfect. York has been CRYING OUT for a place to go for a proper dinner and finally we have one: Brancusi.

Staff and food were both fantastic

Amazing food with a very laid back but gorgeous setting. Confit Duck was great!! Service was brilliant as well.

The cakes are delicious and have gluten free options

Se detuvo por una taza de té y un bollo. Precioso interior con personal amable. Los bollos salados eran sabrosos. Un poco caro pero volvería.

An explosion of flavors, the most beautiful place in York!

I was directed to come here as Partisan was fully booked and I didn't have any booking. They had space for me at the bar with high chair which was not comfortable for having breakfast. I did ask for a table. The waitress couldn't offer that as she said it was for booking only though the couple after me having no booking was given a table. At that time it was not busy. Also within less than a minute I sat there before even I had a chance to read the menu, another waitress asked me for my order without asking if I needed more time to decide. I politely said I had just arrived. I ordered Egg Benedicts. It was a bit cold but there was a good taste in general. Given the cost I paid, and the atmosphere coupled with the service I got even though I was a single person customer, I would reconsider coming here but go somewhere equivalent. Booking also would be necessary to come here.

I would give 6 stars if I could. We have eaten at sister restaurant Partisan before and loved it. This new space is narrow but beautifully done and full of light. So much attention to detail in the seating from the art to the furniture. All of this pales in comparison to the food. We went for brunch, which is usually not an exciting meal for restaurants, but this was simply fantastic. Best ingredients and some really creative recipes. Thank you so much to Florencia and team.

Great food, atmosphere is equally good - highly recommend for breakfast.

Absolutely stunning food! The staff could not have been more helpful.

Esta es mi segunda visita en noviembre. Un miércoles el lugar estaba lleno de gente, ambiente agradable encantador con personas de ideas afines. Se siente tan acogedor con un personal eficiente que hace un esfuerzo adicional para que te sientas bien. Tengo Heuvas Vaqueros que eran deliciosos, llenos y picantes para un frío día de invierno delicioso. Mi amigo tenía berenjena Parmigiana que era bueno también. Las opciones de vino son buenas con mi favorito Nero D'avola de Sicilia. Una vez más los propietarios han traído vivo esta hermosa calle, esperemos que más tiendas independientes se unan a ellos en nuevo Micklegate.

Calm ambience, lots of variety food wise, caters to all tastes.

Lovely place to eat and the food was great ,but! We had booked a table for a certain time at Partisan a couple of doors down. Arrived on time,only to be told we would have to sit outside in the marquee ( it was a cold ,wet Winters day) or had the choice of going a few doors down to Sister cafe, which we did. The girl took our order, and we sat down to have a family catchup. Our order arrived and we got tucked into our meal only to be told that we only had our table for an hour! 1. Why was our table offered in the marquee,after booking it days in advance? 2.Why did we have to move to another venue? 3.Why did we only have our table for an hour? What was supposed to be a relaxed catchup ,ended up being ruined, by having to rush our food, with hovering staff, ready to clear our table as soon as our hour was up!! Won't be using again. Won't be using this venue for further meetings. Won't be recommending to anyone either! Totally disappointed 😞

Food was ok, quite expensive for the price. Not sure we can recommend it. Came to £40 for two people

Came here some time ago when it was the Rattle Owl. That was a good experience, but this has been even better. A short menu - always a good idea. Starters were excellent, although I thought they were small. Then the mains arrived: thank goodness for small starters! Good, different, interesting food. And wine choices for all palates & wallets.

Delicious food! I had the stone bass and carrots with dukkah. The fish was amazing and came with a tasty sauce. The only thing was the carrots didn’t have much flavour. Overall really great food though and the team were lovely.

Came here for a nostalgic trip to York with old friends and was recommended this spot and was so glad I was. Everything was spot on, vibes drinks and most importantly food.

Came here on recommendations and reviews for an early dinner and sorry to say not excited. To start with the positives were the great service, lovely puddings of choc mousse and apple crumble and the Rueda white wine was super. However, starters of anchovies were overpowered by a strong chilli's and the pork was average and the bed of smoked Leek puree not good. For mains we shared the monkfish tail which was OK but bit overcooked. The vegetables we had as sides were also disappointing, particularly the large plate of raw turnip covered with yoghurt. No way to pin down the menu but didn't work for me. Suspect great for the daily brunch offerings as that is where Partisan has always been superb.

Sobreprecio. Algunos de nuestros invitados estaban contentos con sus pedidos: chorizo caramelizado y cebolla en tostadas de masa madre era popular. También las tostadas francesas estaban buenas. Tenía los hongos en masa madre, y era soso y caro. En realidad no sabía a setas en absoluto, solo a crema. Muy decepcionante. Los cafés estaban bien. Pero no se apresuró a regresar. El servicio también era extremadamente lento y un poco golpe y falla. Después de 45 minutos preguntamos dónde estaba nuestra comida y nos dijeron ‘oh serán 15 minutos’ por no nos dijeron cuando nos sentamos que sería una hora de espera. En resumen, algo de comida deliciosa, cafés bien, pero todo sobreprecio.

Dog friendly, sauce on tap. Stunning little cafe that was very busy, lucky to get a table without booking. The food and drinks were outstanding. The full English was filling and worth the price. You’re paying for quality here and it doesn’t disappoint. Only downside was the waiting time for the food and drinks.

Popped in here as we were walking past. It was very busy but we were seated fairly quickly. We ordered 2 lattes and 2 full English breakfasts. The coffees were really lovely, totally reminded us of the coffees we had in Spain. We waited quite a while for our food but that happens when it's so busy. The food was amazing but we did find it on the pricey side. The staff were really friendly.

Food and staff were class act. Thanks for the lovely breakfast

¡Qué placer! Fuimos a Brancusi para una comida familiar el sábado pasado. Aunque el restaurante estaba lleno, el servicio no se retrasó y tampoco nos sentimos apresurados. Personal atento y encantador que te hizo sentir bienvenido. La selección del menú fue muy variada. La comida estaba deliciosa. Tuve mejillas de cerdo como entrante y pez monje como principal. Los lados eran una delicia. Algunos de los mejores alimentos que he tenido en mucho tiempo. La decoración del restaurante es v sutil, y la cantidad justa de luz ambiental para que pueda leer fácilmente los menús. Volveremos en nuestro próximo viaje a York. 5 estrellas.

Mi amigo kiwi de visita y yo, llamamos a media tarde para té y bollos turísticos. Servicio muy amable, y un placer visitar. Gracias amigos.

One of the best brunch restaurants in York The food quality is excellent and the workers are very nice ❤️ They replaced our breakfast after we learned that it contained pork and brought us something else, even though we were the ones at fault for notifying them before. Thank you ❤️

We had brunch here after the sister branch Partisan, was unexpectedly closed due to boiler issues. The food service and atmosphere were excellent.

For a year, Brancusi was the restaurant in York that I was most desperate to try. And normally, this would set a person up for certain disappointment. After all, it's unlikely that after so much anticipation, Brancusi would then live up to the 'hype'. However, this is not one of those instances. This is one of those rare occasions when a person's lofty expectations have been met... My girlfriend and I had an early dinner at the restaurant one Friday in late August. It was perfectly quiet, which meant that we had the full attention of a very polite and chatty waitress. The inside of the building was tasteful. The back of the building had a glass ceiling, like a conservatory, but more upmarket. I also remember an apothecary cabinet set against one of the walls, laden with jars of preserves and pickled vegetables. Courtesy of the stunning interior and the attentive (but never pushy) service, we felt very peaceful at our little table. In stark comparison to the setting, the food at Brancusi is loud, strange, and (in some cases) completely outlandish. And I have to say, I am fully on board. To begin with, we had the pan-seared king scallops with charred peaches. It was light, delicate, and perfectly balanced. The rich meatiness of the scallops paired wonderfully with gentle, citrusy flavour of the peaches. We followed this up with the radicchio, which (in my opinion) was outright wacky. It somehow managed to be both sweet and savoury... Crispy, yet tender... I would have to say that it steered more towards the sweeter side, but I wouldn't call it a dessert by any means. In light of our earlier choice (with the charred peaches), we then transitioned to the roasted pork with roasted peaches. This was my girlfriend's favourite dish, out all those we tried. The crackling on the pork was as tough as leather, though it hid a beautifully tender cut of meat beneath. I think that when pairing pork with a fruit, your immediate instinct is to go for apples (pork with apple sauce, for example), so you fail to consider any of the alternatives. But I have to say, apples would have paled in comparison to the roasted peaches, which accompanied our pork. They were much tangier than the charred peaches from before, and they gave an interesting sweetness to the meat. Our final order at Brancusi was a crab fettuccine, which wasn't the best dish that we tried, but it was still exceptional. The pasta was served al dente and had a nice chewy texture. Whereas the crab was so flaky that it blended into the sauce, taking on a light, tomatoey flavour. Oh! And we also got a side plate of roast potatoes. They were pretty great, too. Overall, Brancusi lived up to my sky-high expectations and has become one of my favourite restaurants in York. I would especially recommend it for a date night.

I was incredibly surprised! It was just excellent and the service second to none. Even watching how the staff were looking after the smallest details of other patrons was both surprising and excellent.

La comida era excelente y el personal era increíble, no podría ser más servicial. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Sin duda volveré a visitar cuando esté en York.

Great food, brilliant service and lovely ambience

Visited with friends for an early dinner, left 4 1/2 hours late. A truly magnificent evening, food incredible with every dish ( including vegetables) outstanding. Impeccable service from a very well trained team. Ambience and restaurant decor on point. We have talked about this meal ever since, even met Chef and can’t wait to return.

Great food, great coffee, friendly efficient staff and fabulous bathroom

A lovely treat at the end of our holiday. Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, brilliant staff. Lots of choice of freshly cooked food even for a vegetarian.

Last weekend, I dined at Brancusi with friends for the first time, and it was truly exceptional. The restaurant is not only beautifully designed, but the staff are also incredibly friendly and welcoming. We started with some delicious cocktails, followed by scallops, lamb, and crab fettuccine, and finished with a selection of desserts. Every dish was outstanding—the quality of the ingredients reminded me of the food in Italy, and the chef was truly marvellous. We had previously enjoyed brunch there and loved everything on the menu, and this dinner has only confirmed that it will become one of our favourite places to eat in the future. For those interested in contemporary art, Brancusi has wonderful paintings adorning the walls, some of which are available for purchase.

Stunning! Sometimes you stumble upon a place that draws you in and you are so very thankful for it! Brancusi had me at…. “Hello” The service, the decor, the attention to detail and finally, but no way least… the food!! Absolutely amazing! Flavoursome, original taste combinations that just work!!! I had the scallop and bacon roll, it shouldn’t work… it did!! The quality of the food was of such a high standard, the price point was justified. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. A true gem, well worth a visit!

GREAT place. Its sister of Partisan a few doors down - same menu and shared staff etc. basically same place. Food was excellent - had the full English, pancakes, and scallops breakfast between us. The homemade beans were great and everything was cooked really well. Coffees were so tasty - really had a distinctive flavour - some of the nicest I’ve had all weekend. Food options for all types of diet choices. Nice brunch cocktails too. Family and dog friendly. Exactly the kind of place we seek to go. My only slight feedback: the knives weren’t quite serrated enough to get through the sourdough crust. And a single (but extremely tasty) mushroom was disappointing for a £15.50 breakfast. Verging on feeling stingy on the plate.

I highly recommend this place. We had one of the best brunches we'd ever had. This is not just an ordinary cafe, the food is really special with every attention paid to detail. The service is attentive and efficient. Great value as well. Good to find a consistently great eaterie in such a central location.

This shop has the same menu as Partisan. I initially went to Partisan, but they asked if I was okay with going to another shop for the same menu, so I was brought here instead. The service was great though, with smiles all around. I ordered the creamy wild mushroom dish and an 82% dark chocolate drink. The drink wasn't on the menu, but it was available upon request when I asked if they had hot chocolate. The food tasted great, but I think it could be better with a slightly larger portion. It's hard to compare with another famous cafe just a few streets away, which also serves creamy wild mushrooms and dark chocolate. They taste similar, but if I were to order this combination again, I would lean towards the other place because of the larger portion.

We hadn’t booked but asked if a walk in table would be available, told yes but would need to leave in an hour. We were fine with this and chose and ordered within 5 mins of being seated. Drinks arrived after 15 mins, coffee was very nice. Orange juice was served in glasses that were 2/3 full, seemed very odd - would suggest filling the glass or using smaller glasses. After waiting 40 mins from ordering food finally arrived, at this point we had 13 mins until we were suppose to vacate the table. Began eating and found the food mixed, some items were enjoyable but the bread was very dry, didn’t receive any butter and the tempeh was very oily and had quite an unpleasant flavour. At £15.50 the vegetarian breakfast seemed very overpriced. Long waits are clearly an issue as other customers were querying how long their food would be.

Everything was excellent except I had to send my home made pappardelle back and have risotto instead. TBF they were perfectly willing to substitute but someone should tell them that fresh pasta should be tender. The pappardelle were leathery and excessively thick. I would be ashamed to serve up fresh pasta so clumsily made. If this is the best they can do they should just buy dried pasta.

The welcome is excellent. Everything is done to make this moment unique. Wonderful plates!! And what a delight...even for children they adapt. A must-visit in York! Thank you 🙏

Went for my birthday meal and it was a lovely experience. Staff were really friendly and cool, we were served by a really friendly guy (american dude :)). Big shout out to the chefs because the food was phenomenal! Best food we’ve had in a while. Definitely will be back and going to recommend to all our friends.

After reading rave reviews about Partisanal we wanted to try the breakfast brunch but it was very busy so we directed to Bransconi which is the sister restaurant next door. Unfortunately our experience was less than great. We ordered the full english breakfast. The sourdough bread toast was obviously stale and very dry, even after exchanging for an untoasted slice it was still very dry. The fried eggs were burnt. The americano coffee arrived warm with cold milk, so it ended up being cold. We also ordered a "fruit scone" which was very dry and if it contained fruit at all it was dissected to a dust within the scone so couldn't tell if it was there or not. In conclusion UNDERWHELMING and expensive...we won't be going back...

Would take a train from London to York just for the chorizo toast here. 10/10.

Ushered into Brancusi after visiting its sister restaurant a few doors up, seated relatively quickly for a Saturday Brunch, service was prompt and attentive with always servers darting about, I ordered the full English, it was very average, they have tried to over complicate a very simple dish with homemade spicy baked beans and the Smokey sausage (which had a very strange texture) delivery and presentation of the food was excellent, however a tad on the pricy side for a full English. Not a bad place but if you’re wanting a traditional full English I would avoid this place

I love Partisan and have been trying to go to Brancusi for a while. I was so excited and as hoped, my meal was just perfect. From the individual components of wild mushrooms to black tahini ice cream, to the overall flavour combinations everything was quite simply delicious. It’s exactly what I wanted, presented perfectly, with delightful service and fabulous ambience. I will be coming back with my partner but it made for a lovely solo dining experience.

Fantastic brunch spot in York with a very varied brunch menu but also including the familiar favourites. Buzzing full of people and activity on the Sunday morning we visited.

Fantastic Sunday morning brunch. Great service and buzzing with people.

Loved it. Had a super meal with my partner (our lass), and my beloved whippet. Delicious food: Caesar salad was a big hit. Lovely no fuss service. We all felt at home, including the dog. If you want a high quality evening meal, with your gorgeous canine friend, you won't find a better place in York.

Loved it! I believe it’s the same restaurant with partisan which we have been and enjoyed very much. Full English breakfast was great and we love the portion size. The only thing is that the sour dough was tooo hard so it was very difficult to eat. We also ordered scallop and bacon roll and they were so kind to swap the brioche bun with sour dough. Very yummy and would love to come back for more!

Wonderful ambiance, service, and most importantly FOOD.

I tried to eat at Partisan, but it was full. They recommended that I try their sister restaurant, Brancusi. I enjoyed lunch in this small eatery near mickelgate. The chicken shawarma was tasty and the service was good.

Brunch two days in a row! Visiting York with friends and staying in nearby Priory Street. What a find- fabulous food, lovely atmosphere and excellent service . Highly recommend 😊

Beautiful restaurant space and fantastic food. Unique flavours and dishes that switch up the breakfast experience for all. We loved the twists on old classics. Great service and dog friendly too!

Visited here for a family brunch, and we were not disappointed. The food was lovely, and they also did a great Caramel Iced Latte. The staff were attentive and polite. Would recommend. ☺️

The service was very poor in my experience. Staff unhelpful, not attentive. Waited nearly 40 minutes before having to prompt staff to serve us. By this point another table had left, new guests, orders taken and drinks served. By time our food eventually arrived, drinks were still to be seen. Food was good though, otherwise would have given 1 star review due to rudeness of staff. Maybe it was a bad day?.. although, two separate groups were discussing the same thing about the service whilst exiting the premises. So at least it wasn't just us...

A fabulous place for an evening meal. Beautiful food and good wine selection. The atmosphere was great and the service was brilliant - the staff were so helpful. Can’t wait to return for brunch next time!

Obsessed with Brancusi. A truly gorgeous brunch with so many exciting/unique dishes on the menu it was hard to choose. Dining area is lovely with lots of natural light - my favourite brunch whilst in York - a total foodie dream!

Gorgeous place and food with friendly and unobtrusive service. Creative approach to local ingredients that still translates to plain good eating.

What a wonderful evening. Four of us met for dinner, we were welcomed by a member of the team all of which were relaxed, friendly & efficient. The service all evening was seamless. We drank delicious Organic wine with our meal which was on the whole a modern Italian menu. Everything we ate was elevated with delicious flavours all very welcomed. Our table had a mix of dietry requirements which were all met..excellent options for Vegan & Veggie. This is by far my favourite eating experience in York & ill be visiting again soon. We all felt it was good value for the high quality in a sumptuous & stylish setting Well done Brancusi, we will back, bringing more friends

What a wonderful restaurant, cannot recommend highly enough, so lucky to find this place on taking my mum to York for her birthday.The food was amazing and the staff so knowledgeable and happy to talk through Italian inspired food. The place has a great atmosphere and displays artwork from local artists. The owner is bubbly and took time to chat making the whole experience feel relaxed, definitely will be returning. Thank you

We had such a lovely breakfast at Brancusi this weekend - there were 16 of us, and we had our own room upstairs. The menu was great, so much choice, and the food was as impressive as it sounded! We’ll be back - thank you for looking after us so well ☺️

Brancusi is a fantastic restaurant with phenomenal coffee, food, service and atmosphere. We were in York for 3 weeks and went here nearly every day and they were so sweet in always making space for our big dog as well. In trying 90% of the menu and a fair amount of the pastries, I can SO happily recommend this place to everyone. Some repeat favorites were the scrambled eggs on toast with salmon (best I’ve ever had!), the caramelized chorizo on toast, the Palestinian chicken (SO FANTASTIC!!!) and the fig/goat cheese toasts. They really do no wrong and you’ll feel so at home in this bright, beautiful, fabulous restaurant.

Had a lovely dinner with friends on Friday night to celebrate multiple things. Beautiful venue full of local art, friendly, relaxed service, and amazing food- unfussy, delicious and creative. Beef short rib croquettes were a stand out, and my meat-loving husband fell in love with the vegan purple sprouting broccoli with cashew butter. My dish of wild mushrooms with butter bean mash was gorgeous (also vegan!) and our foodie friends were impressed by the rabbit ragu. Finished the dinner off with a lovely kumquat sorbet, the tiramisu (divine), and a few digestifs. Absolutely would return again. What a lovely addition to the Partisan family!

Fantastic food, and a brilliant atmosphere. I had the rabbit pappardelle which was perfectly cooked. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Great wine selection and reasonably priced. Will come again!
