Steak, Steak and More Steak: Flat Iron, Soho

I’ve been wanting to head into Flat Iron for awhile now.

It’s a cozy little restaurant situated in Soho. And they don’t do reservations so you’ve got to be on your toes about getting a table.

But we happened to be in Soho the other afternoon and raindrops were starting to fall… So why not? After all, a little pick me up late lunch never hurt anybody.

About four to five tables make up the main dining room, with picnic table-like seating. It’s exclusive. Even with upstairs seating, trying to get a table at night is difficult ordeal.

It’s a bit dreamy really. The rustic interior mixes well with the usual Soho vibe.

And the menu is posted up on the wall at the end of each table, which I think is clever decorating.

Plus I love a simple menu. And Flat Iron is as simple as it comes with one main on the menu: Steak.

Did I mention that it’s only £10? Seriously.

And they bring you a mug of popcorn while you peruse the drinks menu.

I went for a glass of the Fresh Spanish Macabeo, which you can pour at your discretion.

J stuck to water since he was going to be filming a segment for work later that night. Very professional.

In the meantime, we had a bit too much fun playing with our dinnerware…

But then it was time to get serious, because our steak had arrived.

And it certainly did arrive. For £10, this steak does not disappoint in the slightest. We both agreed it was the best we’d ever tried. And for a tenner? Who can argue with that? Kudos, Flat Iron.

The steak comes with a side salad too, which is equally scrumptious.

And of course, we had to order some sides. Their market greens of the day were green beans – which I love. So we ordered up. Oh, and naturally a side of chips…

Also known as fries…

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much steak in my life (okay, okay, I let J eat what I couldn’t finish).

If you’re ever in London, I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough.

The food is amazing, the staff are friendly as ever, and it has a great atmosphere.

Unfortunately though, all good things come to an end.

So we bid adieu and headed back out into rainy London.
