Chef Jun Tanaka and this team opened The Ninth on Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, in November 2015. Jun’s à la carte menu, which is designed to be shared, focuses on showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients and robust French dishes which have been given a fresh Mediterranean twist. Within a year of opening, The Ninth gained its first Michelin star and much critical acclaim from the likes of Jay Rayner, who said “For great food, service, price and surroundings, Jun Tanaka’s latest venture ticks every box” and Grace Dent, who declared it “some of the best food I’ve eaten this year.” The Ninth has three AA Rosettes, and won The Caterer Magazine’s Catey Menu of the Year Award.
