Harden’s hosted a sell-out dinner with acclaimed chef Jun Tanaka at his first solo restaurant The Ninth in Fitzrovia on 16 November. The five-course banquet was served in the stunning private dining room showcasing Tanaka’s (now Michelin-starred) Mediterranean-influenced sharing dishes.

The evening started at 7.30 pm with a Champagne Canard-Duchêne, Cuvée Léonie Brut reception hosted by the chef-patron and Harden’s guide co-founder, Peter Harden. Everything on the menu was communal, with the exception of The Ninth’s signature oxtail croquettes.
