Restaurant with heated terrace

The ambiance at Flat Iron Marylebone is a successful blend of rustic charm and modern simplicity. The decor emphasizes functionality and craftsmanship, featuring details like repurposed materials that bring a down-to-earth warmth to the space. Notably, there is a large heated terrace that offers views of the picturesque St. Christopher’s Place—a perfect spot for enjoying outdoor dining in good weather.

Authentic steakhouse experience

Culinarily, Flat Iron Marylebone embodies a clear philosophy: quality over quantity. The centerpiece of the menu is the namesake Flat Iron Steak, a cut from the shoulder of the beef that is prized for its tenderness and intense flavor. It is prepared with precision and served with a selection of homemade sauces, such as a spicy pepper sauce that perfectly enhances the taste. Another highlight is the Wagyu Burger, exclusively offered at this location—two juicy patties of grass-fed Wagyu beef, topped with melted cheese, homemade truffle mayonnaise, and crunchy toppings. Among the sides is the Bone Marrow Garlic Mash, a creamy mashed potato with bone marrow and garlic that impresses with its rich texture. The Beef Dripping Chips, crispy fries fried in beef fat, are also a favorite, adding an extra depth of flavor to the meal.
