Michelin-starred The Ninth Personalized Chef & Sommelier Experience

Discover The Ninth, a Michelin-starred neighbourhood standout on Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia, where relaxed sophistication meets French-Mediterranean elegance. Under the guidance of Chef Jun Tanaka, whose career spans London’s most iconic kitchens, the restaurant offers an intimate, lively atmosphere where dark woods, marble tables, and exposed brickwork combine to create the feel of a deluxe bistro in the heart of the city.

This unique 6-course tasting menu experience begins with a tableside visit from Chef Tanaka, who will speak directly with you about your tastes, favourite ingredients, and culinary curiosities. Drawing inspiration from your preferences, he will then create a bespoke menu for your table: each course a thoughtful twist on classic French-Mediterranean dishes, showcasing the best seasonal ingredients available. The evening becomes a truly collaborative journey, where your palate guides the chef’s creativity.

Parallel to this, the sommelier curates a personalized wine selection, speaking with you to understand your preferences before pairing each course. Every dish is elevated by wines chosen to complement the flavors, textures, and nuances of the bespoke menu, creating an intimate dialogue between food and drink throughout the meal.

The evening concludes downstairs at the bar, where a beautifully plated dessert and a carefully selected digestif provide a perfect finish. Here, the atmosphere shifts to relaxed conviviality, giving guests a chance to linger, reflect, and savor the final moments of a highly personalized culinary journey.
