The Ninth

Celebrated chef Jun Tanaka strikes it out alone with a long-awaited and stunning solo debut, The Ninth. So called because it is the ninth restaurant Jun has worked in, although the very first he has owned. The Ninth offers relaxed neighbourhood dining at its finest. Located in the heart of Fitzrovia, the menu marries simple yet refined French-Mediterranean sharing plates with casual, friendly service, and an expertly curated and approachable wine list which focuses on small producers and lesser known bottles. Open for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday, The Ninth’s à la carte menu shines light on the best seasonal produce, while pickled, brined and cured specialties anchor the offering. Divided into eight sections – snacks, hot starters, salads, raw & cured, meat, fish, vegetables and desserts – Jun’s dishes are layered yet distinctly light, and served in a thoughtful but fuss-free manner, allowing the flavours of each ingredient to truly shine.
