What to expect
Flat Iron built its name on doing one thing very well: the flat-iron steak, a flavourful cut served at an affordable, fixed price with a simple menu of sides and sauces. The Covent Garden restaurant has the same relaxed, buzzy feel as the rest of the group with bare tables, quick service and a few well-chosen wines and beers. Little extras have become part of the experience: free popcorn while you wait and a complimentary ice cream to finish.
Good to know
It's worth arriving early or off-peak at busy times. It's an easy, good-value choice before or after a West End show.
Other London branches
Flat Iron has several other restaurants across London, including in Soho, Shoreditch, Spitalfields and the City, so there's usually one nearby wherever you are.
