Flat Iron, the popular steakhouse chain known for its “affordable” steaks, has confirmed the location of its new Manchester store. A new restaurant has been confirmed to open in Deansgate in early summer.
The chain, which has 12 restaurants in London, will take over the premises previously occupied by specialist outdoor clothing brand Blacks. The Grade II listed building was also once home to the Royal London Friendly Society.
The highlight of our menu, which we pride ourselves on as “excellent steaks at affordable prices,” is the Feather Blade Flatiron Steak, which is, as you might imagine, flavorful, tender, and juicy. Sides include beef drippings, potato chips, creamed spinach, truffle mac and cheese, and crunchy bone marrow mash.
