Enjoy lean and tender cuts of beef at top chains like Morton’s and Ruth’s Chris.
Filet mignon is a tender, melt-in-your-mouth cut of steak popular for those who love a lean yet flavorful bite. “Since there’s very little marbling and not a lot of fat or connective tissue inside the filet, it’s arguably the most tender of all high-end cuts of beef,” say the experts at Ruth’s Chris. If you want a lighter meal that’s still delicious and indulgent, a filet is the way to go: Here are five chains with the best filet mignons on the menu.
Morton’s The Steakhouse

We won’t go anywhere else for filet mignon except to Morton’s.”

The Filet Mignon at The Capital Grille is a classic cut, delicately finished with tallow butter and fleur de sel. “We both enjoyed the onion soup, their filet mignon, and their creamed spinach. I really enjoyed my steak cut with the additional onions and mushrooms. Just the right amount of red and a few charred outside pieces. Just perfect!” one diner raved.
