... - Le Petit Beefbar hits Chelsea
The latest global restaurant chain to arrive in London is Beefbar. 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.

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.
