Brancusi is a relaxed restaurant at 104 Micklegate in York, created by the team behind nearby Partisan. It occupies a historic building and takes its name from modernist sculptor Constantin Brancusi, reflecting the owners’ interest in art as well as food.
The kitchen follows a sustainable, produce led approach and supports small scale growers and suppliers. Brunch is served through the daytime, while the restaurant stays open for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, so the character moves naturally from cafe style meals into a more composed evening service.
The dinner format combines concise small and larger plates rather than a long fixed list. Recent seasonal menus have moved between European and British influences, with creative ideas such as a scallop and bacon roll, Palestinian style shawarma, schnitzel and carefully handled vegetable dishes appearing alongside fish and meat.
Because the menu changes with available produce, returning diners can expect different combinations across the year rather than permanent signatures. A short wine and cocktail list supports the evening dishes, cakes and pastries suit a coffee visit, and vegetarian and vegan choices are regularly represented; allergies should be discussed with the team before ordering.
