In London’s buzzy Fitzrovia neighbourhood, chef Jun Tanaka (who trained under Marco Pierre White, Phillip Howard and the Roux brothers) works his classical-French magic at The Ninth, an elegant 90-seater bistro that harmonises contemporary stylings with the effortless warmth of rusticity. With chef Andy Hall heading the kitchen, former sous chef under Jun at Pearl Restaurant and Bar, their menu varies from raw and cured fish and shellfish, meats, and inventive vegetable dishes that the restaurant claims is more than just sides.
