🇬🇧 London | Hidden Gem with a Michelin Star 🌟

When I connected to the Wi-Fi, I saw The Ninth's story and learned that this restaurant has been around for 10 years and has held a Michelin star since 2017! It was a friend's recommendation that brought me here, and I'm glad I came. If you visit on a weekday at lunchtime, they offer a two-course meal for £35, which is quite affordable. Overall, there weren't any dishes that blew me away, but everything tasted good. 🦀 Crab & Seaweed Tartlet – This one was quite salty, not really recommended. The saltiness overshadowed the natural sweetness of the ingredients. 😕 🐟 Seabream Carpaccio, Merinda Tomatoes & Red Meat Radish – A sweet and tangy combination. It wasn't particularly distinctive, but I enjoyed it. 🍓 🌊 Cured Scallops, Smoked Roe & Jerusalem Artichoke – Usually, I have Jerusalem artichokes that are roasted and soft, but this time they were raw. The flavors of the scallops and artichokes were distinct, yet it was still delicious. 🦪 🐂 Salted Beef Cheek & Tongue, White Asparagus, Tarragon Mayonnaise & Wild Garlic – The beef cheek and tongue were perfectly cooked, and the baguette was soaked in tarragon mayonnaise. The thin slice of wild garlic was juicy and added a fresh aroma. I loved this dish! 🥩 🐟 Red Mullet Tempura, Citrus Escabeche & Garlic Aioli – I didn't expect a whole fried fish! The citrus sauce and pickles helped cut through the richness, but it was still a bit too greasy for my taste. 🐟 🍨 Pain Perdu & Tonka Bean Ice Cream – This is their most famous dish, and it's worth it! The brioche is soaked in milk and cream, with a caramelized crust on the outside. The tonka bean ice cream adds a sophisticated aroma. This dessert was my favorite of the day! 🍰 🍹 Apple, Cucumber, Lemon, Elderflower – The combination of elderflower and apple is perfect! If you're wondering why I didn't just buy elderflower juice from the supermarket, it's because the cucumber and lemon add an extra layer of freshness. I loved it! 🍃 🗺️ The Ninth 22 Charlotte St., London W1T 2NB, United Kingdom #LondonFoodGuide #MichelinStarredRestaurant #LondonRestaurantRecommendations
