Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957)  was a Romanian Sculptor, based in France, known as the father of Modernist Sculpture. His work introduced abstraction and primitivism into sculpture for the first time. On a trip to Paris we visited the Atelier, home to a vast collection of his works, just outside the Centre Pompidou. Although we both knew his work, we succumbed to the beauty, the nobility of the materials, the simplicity and the power of each piece. 

Seven years after opening Partisan, the opportunity came to expand into another beautiful historical building three doors down in 104 Micklegate. We wanted to create a vibrant restaurant , relaxed and casual with an emphasis on a sustainable, high quality, produce-led menu, supporting small scale producers along the way.  Because art has always been an important part of what we do, we decided to call the restaurant Brancusi.
