Description

Jun Tanaka’s restaurant may be centrally located on Charlotte Street, with its plethora of dining options, but this feels very much like a neighbourhood spot. Two floors of closely set tables and a relaxed, informal atmosphere help to create the feel of a lively bistro de-luxe. The menu is designed for sharing, although it can easily be enjoyed solo too. There's a discernible Mediterranean influence to the cooking, with the likes of sea bream carpaccio and wild garlic risotto on the menu.

Review summary

The Ninth, a Mediterranean restaurant in London, holds a 4.2/5 rating on TripAdvisor based on 80 reviews. Food quality is generally praised, with standout dishes like crab tartlets and langoustine ravioli, though some note a loss of spark in recent menu changes. Service is polarizing; while some staff are knowledgeable and warm, others are described as surly or slow. The atmosphere is cozy and bustling, suitable for groups. Value perceptions vary: lunch deals are considered great value, whereas dinner prices have risen, leading to complaints about portion sizes and cost-effectiveness.

Best for

Recommended for diners seeking authentic Mediterranean flavors who can tolerate variable service, particularly for lunch deals.
