The meaty menu restaurant first opened in Monaco and since then has grown with branches in Saint-Tropez, Milan, Mykonos and Sao Paolo - which might give you an indication of what to expect.

    Updated 8/9/21 with new images

    We're getting quite used to American steakhouses making their way to the UK but we've always known that we've had a very select few London places which are as good, and even better, than their American cousins.

    There's definitely a sense of normality returning when restaurants start launching special dishes - and Flat Iron's new steak sandwich looks like it's worth emerging from lockdown for.
